Does NTEventLogAppender work on Windows Server 2008?

Question

I can't find any reference to what versions of Windows the log4j NTEventLogAppender is supported on. I am specifically interested in whether it works on Windows Server 2008.

Answer 1

NTEventLogAppender does work on Windows Server 2008. However, I was specifically interested in the 64-bit version and out of the box log4j does not support this. I had to use the code from the attachement on this log4j bug.

Answer 2

Consider log4jna, an alternative implementation of NTEventLogAppender that doesn't require a native 32-bit vs. 64-bit DLL.
