Thank you. This is maybe the key piece i am missing - the 'root folder'. I had assumed the root folder was the folder the EventSink DLL was in. But you may be suggesting this is some root Exchange folder, or as i read elsewhere, it may be windows\system32 -

That said, i was mistaken about the root folder - but the account that is registered as the Authorization account in Component Services is a Domain Admin (i am trying this just to try to ellminate permissions as an issue) who should have full rights to all resources on the Exchange host.

Finally - when you suggest the 'repository name should be the same as the assembly, you are saying that if my assembly says this:

[assembly: AssemblyTitle("AnEventSink")]

that i need the log4net to say

[assembly: log4net.Config.Repository("AnEventSink")]

I am unclear what an assembly name is - it is the namespace of my EventSink (which also happens to be AnEventSink)?

Thank you

Cord

Thomas,

I've successfully set up log4net logging for a serviced component which is hosted inside the IIS (.NET remoting service) using .NET 1.1.

To do this, the application (e.g. IIS) has to have write access to the folder where the log file is to be created (this seems to be okay in your setting).

Next, I've added the following log4net declaration in one class (e.g. a base class of a class hierarchy) of each project which should use log4net:

[assembly: log4net.Config.Repository("Server")]
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile="Web.config")]

The repository name should be the name of the assembly - but if you use several projects and therefore have several assemblies you have to use the same repository name in each project (at least I needed to do this, because otherwise only one assembly was able to successfully use log4net, and the other silently failed).

You also have to find out the root folder of your component, which depends on the application that uses your component.

Hope this information is not completely wrong and might be of any help to you...

Michael

Subject: Log4net with .net 2.0 for com+ servicedcomponent

I have a working c# exchange event sink (serviced component) that will do things like autoaccept, log message activities in a database and route messages. I wanted to use log4net with this but am having problems

The core problem is that i am not getting any log messages (though i tried various configurations)

log4net compiled from source in .net using NET_2_0 compile directive

Again, my component is doing work - and i can use a FileStream to write to the ..\logs\CurrentLog directory - but not log4net - so, the component has write access...

I am now going to try the log4net internal debugging - but wondered if i had anything fundamentally wrong. Below are my config and code

AssemblyInfo.cs

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "Log4Net.config", Watch = true)]

EventSink.cs

    using log4net

    using log4net.Config

    ...

    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(ExchEventSink));

    ...

    OnSave()

       log.Debug("Some debug message");

       // also tried adding various entries of XmlConfigurator.Configure with no luck

Log4Net.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<log4net>

<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

    <file value="..\\logs\\CurrentLog" />

    <appendToFile value="true" />

    <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />

    <rollingStyle value="Date" />

    <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">

        <acceptOnMatch value="true" />

        <levelMin value="DEBUG" />

        <levelMax value="FATAL" />

    </filter>

    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

      <conversionPattern value="%-5p %d %5rms %-22.22c{1} %-18.18M - %m%n" />

    </layout>

</appender>

<root>

    <level value="DEBUG" />

    <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />

   </root>

</log4net>
