Summary: DebugAppender configuration should give the possibility to disable outputting loggerName as category Key: LOG4NET-553 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-553 Project: Log4net Issue Type: New Feature Components: Appenders Affects Versions: 2.0.7 Reporter: Jean-Francois Beaulac Attachments: OutputCategoryParam-DebugAppender.cs.patch The DebugAppender always uses the {{System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(string,string)}} overload passing in the loggername as the category parameter. It should be possible to omit the category parameter if having the loggername as category is not desired. Attached is a patch implementing the desired new feature, which would be activated by configuration: {code:xml} <appender name="DEBUG" type="log4net.Appender.DebugAppender"> <outputCategory value="false"/> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%-5level: %message%newline"/> </layout> </appender> {code} In my patch, the outputCategory parameter defaults to true, so the behavior doesnt change unless the new configuration is used. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
