remove all references of NTEventLog and it will work. If you uncomment this appender it may be work if the source is a valid name.

#log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,CA,NTEventLog 
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,CA        

#Console Appender 
log4j.appender.CA=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender 
log4j.appender.CA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.CA.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n 

#File Appender 
log4j.appender.FA=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender 
log4j.appender.FA.File=sample.log 
log4j.appender.FA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.FA.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

#Event Log Appender
#log4j.appender.NTEventLog=org.apache.log4j.nt.NTEventLogAppender
#log4j.appender.NTEventLog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
#log4j.appender.NTEventLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n
#log4j.appender.NTEventLog.source=ESBWebServices


# Set the logger level of File Appender to WARN 
log4j.appender.FA.Threshold = WARN

Do not forget to place NTEventLogAppender.dll, NTEventLogAppender.amd64.dll, NTEventLogAppender.ia64.dll or NTEventLogAppender.x86.dll as appropriate in a directory that is on the PATH of the Windows system. Otherwise, you will get a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.

I think there's a copy of commons-logging in TOMCAT_HOME/lib, so potentially you could be encountering a classpath conflict, but I'd check the apache commons logging docs to make sure you've got it set up properly.

    In my Java Web Service, I am trying to write logs to windows event viewer, using log4j. I am using Eclipse as an IDE to deploy it using Tomcat.

    this is my log4j.properties:

    log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CA, NTEventLog 
    
    
    log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CA, NTEventLog 
    
    
    #Console Appender 
    log4j.appender.CA=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender 
    log4j.appender.CA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
    log4j.appender.CA.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n 
    
    #File Appender 
    log4j.appender.FA=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender 
    log4j.appender.FA.File=sample.log 
    log4j.appender.FA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
    log4j.appender.FA.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
    
    #Event Log Appender
    log4j.appender.NTEventLog=org.apache.log4j.nt.NTEventLogAppender
    log4j.appender.NTEventLog.source=ESB Web Services
    
    
    # Set the logger level of File Appender to WARN 
    log4j.appender.FA.Threshold = WARN
    

    this is my classpath:

    once I deploy the the code on tomcat the following

    exception occur:
