Java and Windows Event Viewer

[Claulle]

Hi

Is it possible to make a query into Windows' Event Viewer from Java. I wish to make a program that can eg. tell me all the warnings that have been up til now.

Many thanks.

Claus

It will not be possible in the Sun Java distributions - because Java is platform independant - so any platform-specific functions are not available.

What a shame :/

Thanks for the answer tho !

Try using C++, or C# and creating a DLL - you can then use JNI to plug in your native code to your Java

Loads of hassle though !

Sedj -
Does Java have any SNMP classes (Simple Network Management Protocol)?

I think Windows will respond to those queries (via it's WMI protocol), and you might be able to use one of them to query the eventlog.
