jrv created LOG4NET-441:
---------------------------
Summary: FAQ should have Q&A about initialization
Key: LOG4NET-441
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-441
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.2.13
Reporter: jrv
Priority: Minor
I set up a sample application to try out log4net but nothing happened. I had
linked the assembly, called the methods and set up the config, but I neither
called one of the configurators nor included one of the configurator
attributes. While in retrospect it's stupid on my part, it also seems to be a
common cry for help (search "log4net not working"). The FAQ Q&A (under
troubleshooting) could be something like:
Q: Why isn't log4net working at all?
A: You may have overlooked initialization code for log4net in your application.
log4net can be initialized explicitly by calling one of the configurators (e.g.
BasicConfigurator, DOMConfigurator or XmlConfigurator in the log4net.Config
namespace, or implicitly by including one of the configurator attributes (e.g.
[XmlConfiguratorAttribute], [DOMConfiguratorAttribute]) in the assembly where
log4net is first used. See xxxx and yyyy for more information.
