<h3><a name="Flow_Tracing"></a>Flow Tracing</h3>
<p>
The Logger class provides logging methods that are quite useful for following the
execution path of applications. These methods generate logging events that can be filtered
separately from other debug logging. Liberal use of these methods is encouraged as the output has
been found to
</p>
<ul>
<li>aid in problem diagnosis in development without requiring a debug session</li>
<li>aid in problem diagnosis in production where no debugging is possible</li>
<li>help educate new developers in learning the application.</li>
</ul>
<p>
The most used methods are the entry() or traceEntry() and exit() or traceExit() methods. entry()
or traceEntry() should be placed at the beginning of methods, except perhaps for simple
getters and setters. entry() can be called passing from 0 to 4 parameters. Typically these will be
parameters passed to the method. traceEntry() can be passed a format String and a variable list of
parameters, or a Message. The entry() and traceEntry() methods log with a level of TRACE and uses
a Marker with a name of &quot;ENTER&quot; which is also a &quot;FLOW&quot; Marker and all message strings will begin
with &quot;event&quot;, even if a format String or Message is used.
</p>
<p>The main difference between the entry and traceEntry methods is that the entry method accepts a
variable list of objects where presumably each is a method parameter. The traceEntry method
accepts a format string followed by a variable list of objects, presumably included in the
format String. It is not possible to have a single method that includes both of these as it would
be ambiguous whether the first String is a parameter or a format String.</p>
<p>
An exit() or traceExit() method should be placed before any return statement or as the last statement of
methods without a return. exit() and traceExit() can be called with or without a parameter. Typically,
methods that return void will use exit() or traceExit() while methods that return an Object will use
exit(Object obj) or traceExit(object, new SomeMessage(object)). The exit() and traceExit() methods log
with a level of TRACE and uses a Marker with a name of &quot;EXIT&quot; which is also a &quot;FLOW&quot; Marker and all
message strings will begin with &quot;exit&quot;, even if a format String or Message is used.
</p>
<p>
The throwing() method can be used by an application when it is throwing an exception that is
unlikely to be handled, such as a RuntimeException. This will insure that proper diagnostics
are available if needed. The logging event generated will have a level of ERROR and will have
an associated Marker with a name of &quot;THROWING&quot; which is also an &quot;EXCEPTION&quot; Marker.
</p>
<p>
The catching() method can be used by an application when it catches an Exception that it is not
going to rethrow, either explicitly or attached to another Exception. The logging event generated
will have a level of ERROR and will have an associated Marker with a name of &quot;CATCHING&quot; which is
also an &quot;EXCEPTION&quot; Marker.
</p>
<p>
The following example shows a simple application using these methods in a fairly typical manner. The
throwing() is not present since no Exceptions are explicitly thrown and not handled.
</p>
<div>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
package com.test;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import java.util.Random;
public class TestService {
private Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(TestService.class.getName());
private String[] messages = new String[] {
&quot;Hello, World&quot;,
&quot;Goodbye Cruel World&quot;,
&quot;You had me at hello&quot;
};
private Random rand = new Random(1);
public void setMessages(String[] messages) {
logger.traceEntry(new JsonMessage(messages));
this.messages = messages;
logger.traceExit();
}
public String[] getMessages() {
logger.traceEntry();
return logger.traceExit(messages, new JsonMessage(messages));
}
public String retrieveMessage() {
logger.entry();
String testMsg = getMessage(getKey());
return logger.exit(testMsg);
}
public void exampleException() {
logger.entry();
try {
String msg = messages[messages.length];
logger.error(&quot;An exception should have been thrown&quot;);
} catch (Exception ex) {
logger.catching(ex);
}

}
public String getMessage(int key) {
logger.entry(key);

return logger.exit(value);
}
private int getKey() {
logger.entry();
int key = rand.nextInt(messages.length);
return logger.exit(key);

<p>
This test application uses the preceding service to generate logging events.
</p>
<div>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">

public class App {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
TestService service = new TestService();
service.retrieveMessage();

}
}</pre></div>
<p>
The configuration below will cause all output to be routed to target/test.log. The pattern for
the FileAppender includes the class name, line number and method name. Including these
in the pattern are critical for the log to be of value.
</p>
<div>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">

&lt;ThresholdFilter level=&quot;ERROR&quot; onMatch=&quot;ACCEPT&quot; onMismatch=&quot;DENY&quot;/&gt;
&lt;!-- Flow tracing is most useful with a pattern that shows location.
