http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13659 NTEventLogAppender event categories and usernames not logged Summary: NTEventLogAppender event categories and usernames not logged Product: Log4j Version: 1.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Appender AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Categories are showing up as numbers instead of strings in my Windows 2000 event log. Also, username is always displayed as N/A. I've posted a patch to the log4j-dev list with corrections and a couple of other enhancements to add to the flexibility of the NTEventLogAppender. NTEventLogAppender changes in patch: - Fixed logging of event categories so the text strings show up in the NT Event Log instead of numbers. - Added a flag to NTEventLogAppender class and support for it in nteventlog.cpp, that allows the programmer to turn on or off the display for the current username in the NT Event Log. Instead of N/A. - Added a way for the programmer to specify their own resource only DLL so they can user their own custom event categories, instead of the ones compiled into NTEventLogAppender.dll. Very useful since categories were never really intended to convey the level of the log messages anyway. - Added a new class called CategorizedMessage. It's used a wrapper around an existing log message so a category number can be associated with it. - Added a way for the programmer to specify their own resource only DLL so they can user their own custom event mesage, instead of the one compiled into NTEventLogAppender.dll. Not very useful since there can still be only one event message and the ID has to be 4096, but it was easy and leaves room for future enhancements like supporting multiple event messages.
