Is there a class similar to System.Diagnostic.Eventlog(which i saw
in .net ) in java [sic]?
Or whether java [sic] provides any class that contains methods to access
windows eventlog files?
Please let me know, it is urgent.
Good luck with that. Usenet is not an urgent-response medium.

Not sure which logging framework you are using(Java5, commons-logging,log4j)
That's how to write to the log, but not how to read it. OTOH, if Divs were to
use log4j or java.util.logging, they could log their Java events in a
platform-independent way.
..Net has the benefit of being Windows-specific, so it can make all kinds of
assumptions, like that there is a Windows event log in the first place and how
it can be read.
Why does it need to be Java code that reads the event log? Use
platform-specific tools for that.
Divs, have you browsed the API Javadocs or done your Google search yet? Any
luck there?
Bobby, commons logging is not a logging framework, it is an adapter layer to
encapsulate the differences between logging frameworks.
<http://commons.apache.org/logging/>
The Logging package is an ultra-thin bridge between different logging implementations.
What is the Java5 logging framework? I'm not familiar with that one. I know
of log4j and java.util.logging.
BTW, Bobby, please do not top-post. I corrected that here. Use
trim-and-inline posting.
