Class Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector

This class is a Log4Net repository selector. It allows you to send all your Log4Net logging into PostSharp, where it can be processed by any PostSharp logging backend (including a Log4Net backend). See Remarks.

Inheritance

object

Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector

Implements

IRepositorySelector

Namespace: PostSharp.Patterns.Diagnostics.Backends.Log4Net

Assembly: PostSharp.Patterns.Diagnostics.Backends.Log4Net.dll

Syntax

public class Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector : IRepositorySelector

Remarks

To use this class, use initialization code similar to this at the beginning of your application:

ILoggerRepository relay = Log4NetRedirector.RedirectLoggingToPostSharp();
BasicConfigurator.Configure( relay );
LoggingServices.DefaultBackend = new Log4NetLoggingBackend(relay);

The first line sets an instance of Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector as the active log4net.Core.IRepositorySelector which causes all upcoming LogManager.GetLogger(string) and similar calls to get special redirection loggers that pass all messages to PostSharp instead of into Log4Net appenders.

The first line also returns a "relay repository" which is the one repository where logging will not be redirected to PostSharp. On line 2, we configure appenders for this repository (you may want to use log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator here). On line 3, we pass that relay repository to PostSharp so that all PostSharp logging (automatic, manual, and the logging coming from log4net) goes into that relay repository and from there to your appenders.

Constructors

Name	Description
Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector(IRepositorySelector)	Initializes a new instance of Log4NetCollectingRepositorySelector and creates the relay repository. See Remarks on the class. Consider using the static method RedirectLoggingToPostSharp() instead.

Methods

Name	Description
CreateRepository(Assembly, Type)	Creates a new repository for the assembly specified.
CreateRepository(string, Type)	Creates a new repository with the name specified.
ExistsRepository(string)	Test if a named repository exists
GetAllRepositories()	Gets an array of all currently defined repositories.
GetRepository(Assembly)	Gets the log4net.Repository.ILoggerRepository for the specified assembly.
GetRepository(string)	If `repositoryName` corresponds to the "relay repository", returns that. Otherwise, returns a repository of the type Log4NetCollectionRepository.
RedirectLoggingToPostSharp()	Sets the global log4net.Core.LoggerManager.RepositorySelector to a log4net-to-PostSharp redirector so that all repositories and loggers created after this call redirect all messages to PostSharp. Returns a "relay repository" which is the only repository that won't be redirected to PostSharp.

Events

Name	Description
LoggerRepositoryCreatedEvent	Event to notify that a logger repository has been created.
