Calling method

[Paul Cowan <Pa...@jkd.co.uk>]

Hi all,

 

I have my log4net functionality wrapped up in a logging component, I
have my logger declare like so:

 

namespace Jkd.Vor.Utilities

{

      public class Logger

      {

private static log4net.ILog log =
log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMeth
od().DeclaringType);

      }

}

 

The question I have is, whenever I log, the logger field in Sql Server
or the source in the event log is always:

 

Jkd.Vor.Utilities.Logger,

 

Say Jkd.Vor.ClassA actually called the logger, how can I get the logger
field or the source field to say Jkd.Vor.ClassA, that is how would I
declare my logger to return this??

 

Thanks

 

Paul

That's because you have all logging being done by the logger defined for 
Jkd.Vor.Utilities.Logger. You could define a logger for each class using 
GetLogger(typeof(<class being logged>))

Hi

I've only started looking at log4net myself and I'm using a similar 
approach. I started out with exactly the same solution as you describe, 
and of course I got the same result.

What I did was to add a GetLogger method to my Logger class, this takes 
a string parameter containing the name of the logger to return. Then you 
can use reflection in the actual method call, to pass the name of the 
calling class, like this:

    ILog log = 
Logger.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType));

If you don't want to configure a logger for each class, maybe creating 
one for each namespace could be an idea? This is what I did, passing the 
namespace of the calling class as a parameter:

    ILog log = 
Logger.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.Namespace));

Hope this helps.

I wouldn't mind some feedback on the architecture of this approach though.
