For fun I decided to develop a TwitterLogListener class for the jPOS Framework. It leverages JTwitter – the Java library for the Twitter API from Daniel Winterstein. With this, you can send alerts and/or messages to a twitter account for monitoring from a jPOS application.

You need to configure a TwitterLogListener in your logger:

<log-listener class="org.jpos.util.TwitterLogListener">
 <property name="twitterUsername" value="paymentsystems" />
 <property name="twitterPassword" value="SuperSecretPassword" />
 <property name="tags" value="twitter" />
 <property name="prefix" value="[jPOS]"/>
 </log-listener>

And you need to Log an event with a ‘twitter’ tag:

<script name="test" logger="Q2">
     import org.jpos.util.*;
         for (int i=0; qbean.running(); i++) {
              LogEvent evt = log.createLogEvent ("twitter");
              evt.addMessage ("This is a Twitter message test from jPOS! " +   i);
              Logger.log (evt);
	           Thread.sleep (10000L);
       }
</script>

Look at the messages in a twitter account: http://twitter.com/paymentsystems
