Hi all, Quick question: When the hypervisor triggers a callback which is registered for generic events, (assuming I'm connected through qemu+tcp) where exactly is the callback triggered? On the hypervisor host or on my host? Regards Kadir

I had already tried your suggestion, I added the function just as the same way you did above, and I have this error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'virEventRegisterDefaultImpl': /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so: undefined symbol: virEventRegisterDefaultImpl         at com.sun.jna.Function.<init>(Function.java:179)         at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.getFunction(NativeLibrary.java:345)         at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.getFunction(NativeLibrary.java:325)         at com.sun.jna.Library$Handler.invoke(Library.java:203)         at $Proxy0.virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(Unknown Source)         at novatest_v03.MainFrame.main(MainFrame.java:168)
