We started our service on a shared hosting provider with BlueHost.com but the time had come to grow up. We now have the capacity to accommodate some of the planned features that required more storage and bandwith.

To submit reports from Java simply create an instance of the ReportingManager and use the Submit method:

ReportingManager reportingManager = new ReportingManager(
applicationName, applicationPassword);
try
{
...
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
reportingManager.Submit("Exception when trying to ...", ex);
}

applicationName and applicationPassword must be the name and password of an application credential added to your account.

log4j

For those using Apache log4j the bugcollect log4j Appender allows the easiest integration. Simply add an appender in your log4j configuration file:

log4j.appender.A1 = com.bugcollect.log4j.Appender
log4j.appender.A1.applicationName = name
log4j.appender.A1.applicationPassword = password
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, A1

where name and password must be a valid application credential added to your account with bugcollect.com.

It sure is an exciting time here at BugCollect. Our service is gearing up and gaining more traction.

Our RESTful API interface is up and running and we released the .Net and log4net client libraries that are using the REST interface for report submission. We’ll soon extend the .Net family of clients with a dedicated ASP.Net HTTP module for error handling. We are also working on the Java and log4j client libraries.

We appreciate all the feedback and encouragement we got from all of you so far.
