The following sample Logger.properties file entry demonstrates how to associate the com.ibm.componentX logger with the com.ibm.componentX event factory:

com.ibm.componentX.eventfactory=com.ibm.componentX

The following sample code demonstrates the use of the same event factory setting for direct (Part 1) and indirect (Part 2) Common Base Event logging:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<TemplateEvent> 
		version="1.0.1" 
		xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
		xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="templateEvent.xsd">

	<CommonBaseEvent> 
		 <sourceComponentId application="My application" component="com.ibm.componentX"/>
		 <extendedDataElements CommonBaseEventname="Sample ExtendedDataElement name"	type="string">
		 <values>Sample ExtendedDataElement value</values>
		</extendedDataElements>
	< /CommonBaseEvent>
