[jira] Commented: (LOG4NET-106) TraceAppender : Add switch to disable using logger name as trace category

["Ron Grabowski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-106:
---------------------------------------

r607786 doesn't address how to pass in a null category. This may work:

 <category value="" />

but its probably better to explicitly express the desire to call a Trace.Write overload by using this syntax:

 <useCategory value="false" />

> TraceAppender now always put logger name as trace category when writing to System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write
> ie. :
> System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write(RenderLoggingEvent(loggingEvent), loggingEvent.LoggerName);
> This resulted in logger's name appearing twice in Trace logs if once use/share the same conversion for both file-based and trace appenders, eg.
> "%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%"
> It would be nice to have a settable property on TraceAppender to disable using logger's name as trace category, ie. :
> public bool UseLoggerNameAsTraceCategory
> {
> get; set;
> }
> ...
> if (m_useLoggerNameAsTraceCategory)
> {
>   System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write(RenderLoggingEvent(loggingEvent), loggingEvent.LoggerName);
> }
> else
> {
>   System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write(RenderLoggingEvent(loggingEvent), null);
> }
