Castle Windsor Logging Facility - named loggers

[Sosh]

Hi,

I've set up the Windsor logging facility, and have it working with
log4net. However, I can't figure out how to specify which named
logger the messages should go to - how do I do this? (At the moment
they seem to just go to root)

Thanks,

S

do not contaier.Resolve<ILogger>().

the whole idea is to have windsor deal with it - by having a component dependent on ILogger, and have Windsor resolve it.

Say:

namespace A

{

   public class B

   {

      ILogger logger;

      public B(ILogger logger) { this.logger = logger };

   }

}

Assuming you Resolve<A.B>()  (or otherwise have B as a dependency on somehting else), the logger instance will have the name A.B

if you *have* to get hold of a logger instance directly (say on the application's entry point), you should resolve the ILoggerFactory, and have it create the proper named instance:

var logger = container.Resolve<ILoggerFactory>().Create(typeof(A.B));

I have a couple of blog posts on that exact topic, awaiting to be finalized and published (no time though)

Hi Ken,

I'm not using container.Resolve. I'm using the built in logging
facility in Windsor. So in my container initialisation I have
something like:

container.AddFacility("logging", new LoggingFacility
(LoggerImplementation.Log4net));

And then in my consuming classed, I just have:

public ILogger Logger

which windsor injects into.

This is working fine, but as far as I can see I have no control over
which *named* logger this is using.

Thanks,

S

the name is the fully qualified classname.

If you want something different, then you should create an ILoggerFactory that will do what you want it to do.

take a peek into the existing Log4Net integration's ILoggerFactory implementation to get started
