Forum: JRuby Logging to Windows EventLog

I have a simple JRuby web application running in Tomcat on a Windows
Server 2008R2 system.  I've been asked to put application logs into
the Windows Application Event Log.  Anyone have pointers on how to
accomplish this?


Thanks,
Derek

I haven't done it, but it should be possible. You'll need to use log4j
via slf4j and configure that in JRuby-Rack.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/164879/how-to-write-from-java-to-the-windows-event-log
http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html

along with either this in config/warble.rb:

    config.webxml.jruby.rack.logging = "slf4j"

or just placing config directly in web.xml:

    <context-param>
      <param-name>jruby.rack.logging</param-name>
      <param-value>slf4j</param-value>
    </context-param>

See 
http://github.com/nicksieger/jruby-rack/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jruby/rack/logging/RackLoggerFactory.java
for JRuby-Rack background.

Let us know if you're able to get it going.
