title: Configuring Reportportal with Java +TestNG or Java + Log4j
body: <p>Have been trying to configure Reportportal withe a sample project. The following steps have been done:</p>
  
  <ol>1.Start a Docker and get the reportporal page up and running.</ol>
  
  <ol>2.In the Java project, added the bintray repository, java-agent-testng, logger-java-log4j dependencies.</ol>
  
  <ol>3.Included log4j.properties file in the project and also the log4j.appender line for reprortportal</ol>
  
  <pre><code>log4j.appender.reportportal=com.epam.ta.reportportal.log4j.appender.ReportPortalAppender
  log4j.appender.reportportal.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
  log4j.appender.reportportal.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{HH:mm:ss}] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol>4.Included log4j info lines for one of the @Test methods.</ol>
  
  <ol>5.Ran the Test script and made sure the log info line is seen on the console.</ol>
  
  <ol>6.However, the reportportal dashboard still shows "No Results Found"</ol>
  
  <ol>7.Also, added the following line for the Test Method.</ol>
  
  <pre><code>@Listeners({ReportPortalTestNGListener.class})
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol>8. This threw an exception with Jackson.
  </ol>
  
  <p>A few questions running in my mind:</p>
  
  <ol>1.Do we need both TestNG and Log4j to integrate with reportportal or just one of them is fine.</ol>
  
  <ol>2. With the above steps carried out, is there anything that has been missed. Why am I not seeing data on my reportportal dashboard.</ol>
