Subject: [Netcommon-developer] Common.Logging and NLog



Since there were some talk about NLog and Common.Logging. I'd try to do a 
summary on this topic.

1. Current adapter still works with NLog2 as good as it is with NLog1. But 
it seems that many users are not aware of this. It would be helpful if there 
is some documentation, e.g. Q&A on the website to explain this. Below quoted 
a comment from 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6778233/are-there-any-alternatives-to-common-logging

I still think that if the Common.Logging team want to make people use their 
project that a few updates to the website at least might be good - for 
example documenting the assembly redirect. Just because the code is stable 
and not changing, it doesn't mean the website should be static too.


2. Current NLogLogger in CommonLogging 2.0 has an major issue, the issue was 
introduced when AbstractLogger was add in CommonLogging 2.0. The change 
triggered a bug in NLog (http://nlog.codeplex.com/workitem/6350, please go 
vote up) so that the NLog failed to detect the user stack frame for the log 
messages sent from CommonLogging.

3. There was a proposed work around to problem 2 in 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail 
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3379373&group_id=182424&atid=901159> 
&aid=3379373&group_id=182424&atid=901159, but the approach suggested was a 
hack. The simplest workaround to this problem is moving all the method from 
AbstractLogger to NLogLogger. (BTW, it seems that there is no way for me to 
add any comment to that ticket)

4. I couldn't get CommonLoggingTarget working to bridge NLog messages, I 
have created a bug and provided the fix: 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail 
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3382918&group_id=182424&atid=901156>

Cheers,
