windowsnt.eventlog

Class WindowsNTEventLog

java.lang.Object

windowsnt.eventlog.WindowsNTEventLog

public class WindowsNTEventLog
extends Object

The server has a global event manager running in a thread. A static method queueEvent is used to create and queue an event. The thread will then empty the event queue and passing it on to the Server Event User Exit. This exit is dynamically loaded from a definition in SERVER.INI.

This implementation writes "all" events to the Windows NT event log using a DLL function using JNI interface.

Constructor Detail

WindowsNTEventLog

public WindowsNTEventLog()

Method Detail

useEventLog

public static boolean useEventLog()

Checks if the Event Log should be used. This is true if a call to checkNTParams has been done and the arguments contained the option "-nteventlog".

setIgnoreLogoff

public static boolean setIgnoreLogoff()

Static method call that allows handling of Logoff event when running as a Windows NT Service.

Returns:

true for success, false for failure.

setIgnoreLogoff0

protected static boolean setIgnoreLogoff0()

Static method call that allows handling of Logoff event when running as a Windows NT Service.

Returns:

true for success, false for failure.

checkNTParams

public static String[] checkNTParams(String[] args)

Checks if the options "-ntservice" and/or "-nteventlog" are specified. If so, a call to setIgnoreLogoff is performed for "-ntservice". The return array from this function removes the option(s) "/ntservice", "-ntservice", "/nteventlog" or "-nteventlog".

logEvent

public static void logEvent(String originator,
                            String msg)

Logs an event in the Event Log.

Note that the methods in this interface can be called from different threads, so the implementing code may have to be e.g. synchronized.

logEvent

public static void logEvent(String originator,
                            int eventClass,
                            String msg)

Logs an event in the Event Log.

Note that the methods in this interface can be called from different threads, so the implementing code may have to be e.g. synchronized.

logEvent0

protected static void logEvent0(String originator,
                                int eventClass,
                                String msg)

The native function that logs an event.
