[jira] Commented: (LOG4NET-34) Allow xml config values to be set via XmlNodeType.CDATA or XmlNodeType.Text rather than just value="foo"

["Nicko Cadell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-34?page=comments#action_12313723 ] 

Nicko Cadell commented on LOG4NET-34:
-------------------------------------

It is possible to embed < and > in the current attribute value, just escape using &lt; and &gt;

I will have a look at the impact of your patch and see if it can be easily integraged - on first look it looks ok. I think we should probably concatenate any text or CDATA node text rather than taking the last one, but apart from that it looks ok.

> Currently values for xml config nodes must be passed in via the value attribute:
>  <conversionPattern value="%5p %d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt} (%c:%L) - %m%n" />
> Why isn't this syntax supported?
>  <conversionPattern>%5p %d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt} (%c:%L) - %m%n</conversionPattern>
> If the above syntax were supported, a possible solution to this question:

>  <conversionPattern>
>   <![CDATA[<header>%n <date>%d</date>%n <user>%u</user>%n <info>%m</info>%n</header>%n]]>
>  </conversionPattern>
