RE: 3rd party assembly logging configuration

The subject of using repository is little cloudy for me, even after reading
documentation. If i want to have same hierarchical repository for my library
but starting from different root, then i have to use Repository attribute at
the assembly level of my library. Is it correct?
Do i have to enable internal debugging of log4net in both configuration
files or only in the application's configuration?
After i make use of different repository does the XmlConfigurer attribute in
the assembly level of my library enough to force log4net loading
configuration from the different file?

Thank you.

It does not work, though i configured all like in the example.
The internal debugging display that my library has no repository attribute.
I defined it as [assembly:
log4net.Config.Repository("RootNameSpaceOfTheLibrary")]
inside the AssemblyInfo.cs file and before the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurer
attribute.

RE: 3rd party assembly logging configuration

Posted by ni...@apache.org.
The root logger's name is NULL rather than empty, that is why you need
to configure it in the log4net XML config using the <root> element
rather than the <logger name=3D""> element. A logger with empty name
would be a child of the root logger.

The logger hierarchy exists within the repository. If you create your
own repository then it is completely separate to the repository and
logger hierarchy used in the main application.

Cheers,
Nicko

I assume that root logger's name is empty string, so any type name used
for
logger creation will be treated according to hierarchical rules and
independent from the "main" application.

And thank you again for fast and clear answers.

RE: 3rd party assembly logging configuration

Posted by ni...@apache.org.
I'm not exactly sure I understand the question, but log4net supports a
hierarchy of loggers regardless of the RepositoryAttribute, there should
be no change in this behaviour.

The name of the repository does not have to match up to the name of your
assembly or any of your namespaces, it is just used to identify a
repository in the process.

Thank you. I still must check it but it seems to be working.
Can you answer me to a question about hierarchy support when using
repository attribute?
Will log4net support the hierarchical loggers within library's
configuration
if i setup a repository using the topmost namespace name of the library?

RE: 3rd party assembly logging configuration

Thank you. I still must check it but it seems to be working.
Can you answer me to a question about hierarchy support when using
repository attribute?
Will log4net support the hierarchical loggers within library's configuration
if i setup a repository using the topmost namespace name of the library?

RE: 3rd party assembly logging configuration

Posted by ni...@apache.org.
The log4net internal debugging can be enabled by setting an <appSetting>
in the application's config file:

<appSettings>
  <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>

This must go into the applications .config file (or if it is a web app
then the Web.config file).


Setting the XmlConfigurator attribute on your assembly should cause it
to load its configuration separately from the main application.

There is an example application that is included in the log4net download
that shows this behaviour.

examples\net\1.0\Repository

This is made up of 3 assemblies.

SharedModule - this is an ordinary DLL, it uses logging, but does not
configure it.
SimpleApp - this is an EXE, it configures and uses logging.
SimpleModule - this is a DLL, that setups its own repository and
configures it.

To see the RepositoryAttribute and XmlConfiguratorAttribute have a look
at this example source file:

examples\net\1.0\Repository\SimpleModule\cs\src\Math.cs

Cheers,
Nicko
