Is there a Java SDK that allows one to send events to a Logger or directly to an ESM server?

I know that there is a FlexConnector SDK that allows one to customize a connector agent within the framework of that agent, but I am interested in being able to write a custom client to send events directly from the Java application that is generating those events.

Regis,

Have a look at CEF format, it provides a simple way to generate events that are compatible with ArcSight.

I had seen that document before, but I hadn't realized it for its full value.  It actually states that the transport is just syslog, so generating properly encoded strings in the CEF format and sending them over syslog should work.  I'll give that a try.  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
