Hi:

I created a TwitterLogListener that is based on the SysLogListener, with the
idea that you can log events or messages to a twitter account. It requires
the jtwitter.jar :  from http://www.winterwell.com/software/jtwitter.php
I've uploaded the file here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/jpos-users/files and have attached to
this email as well.

To test:

add a TwitterLogListener:

  <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>

run a little test script - 99_testTweets.xml in deploy

<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  :)

Might have some interesting uses.

Now we could have it understand DMs and interface with the jPOS CLI :)

Imagine sending something like "D jpostwitteraccount sysmon"
