This sample demonstrates how to write the default event log record information to a file. Run the sample by entering a command similar to the following:
java LogSample username password server_name:port_number/connectionPoint_name output_filename
Refer to the comments in the sample source for further information. The samples are located on the P8 Documentation CD or ESD image in:

General descriptions of the LogSample methods follow:
The main method uses common techniques for validating and defaulting argument values. The default values for the log output file is LogSample.out. Main() constructs and passes VWSession and sample Logger class objects to the constructor. Main() handles the login and logoff for the session with the login() and logoff() methods of the sample SessionHelper class, and provides workflow logging with an instance of the sample Logger class.
The LogSample constructor notifies the user of its work (using the sample Logger.logAndDisplay), gets the default event log (using VWSession.fetchEventLog), gets a VWLogQuery object (using VWLog.startQuery), and iteratively gets the VWLogElement objects (using VWLogQuery.next). It then displays VWLogElement information (using VWLogElement.getFieldnames, VWLogElement.getFieldValue, and the sample Logger.log).
