Jean-Francois Beaulac commented on LOG4NET-553:
-----------------------------------------------
I think your idea is much better than mine. It is more flexible while allowing
my usecase and still preserving the current behavior.
> 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.
