using log4net with quartz

[Sean Farrow]

Hi Fokes:

Is it possible to use Log4Net with quartz 2.1.2?

If yes how do I go about doing this?

Hi Sean

Quartz.Net uses the Common.Logging API.
You can use log4net by spectifying the following in your app.config.
You also need the log4net.dll and Common.Logging.Log4Net1211.dll to be referenced in your project.
The logging configuration is then read from log4net.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net, Version=1.2.11.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a" />
    <sectionGroup name="common">
      <section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
    </sectionGroup>   
  </configSections>
  <common>
    <logging>
      <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Log4Net.Log4NetLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.Log4net1211">
        <arg key="configType" value="INLINE" />
      </factoryAdapter>
    </logging>
  </common>
  <log4net configSource="log4net.config" />

I have an assembly Foo in my Windows service that references version 1.2.10.0 of log4net. Quartz works with version 1.2.11.0.

One solution I found was to use a 1.2.11.0 assembly with the old public key token and then use assembling rebinding in app.config to get Foo to use the newer version also used by Quartz.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a method signature change between versions so this won't work:

The other possible solution looks promising:

Before I start implementing this, has anyone encountered this issue and how did you resolve it? Thx.
