> .Net client needs centralised trace facility

> Key: AMQ-974
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-974
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: NMS (C# client)
> Affects Versions: 4.0.2
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Rob Lugt
> Assigned To: james strachan
> Attachments: amq974-patch.txt, ITrace.cs, Tracer.cs
>
>
> There are several classes within activemq-dotnet which need to write
> log/trace information. This data is currently written to an ad-hoc mixture
> of the Console and System.Diagnostics.Trace.
> Neither of these detinations are suitable because System.Diagnostics.Trace is
> not fully supported in the .Net compact framework and the Console is
> unsuitable for severl reasons - not least of which is that output is
> discarded in a Windows (i.e. non-console) application.
> There are two possible solutions to this problem
> 1) adopt log4net as the strategic logging/tracing platform
> 2) write our own Tracing interface which can be controlled at run-time to
> make use of any logging mechanism.
> Log4net is an attractive proposition because it is powerful, full-featured,
> reliable and is also an Apache incubator project. However, there is a strong
> desire to keep activemq-dotnet as clear as possible from any external
> dependencies. So far this has been successfull and as there is an
> alternative solution perhaps we should not create a dependency now.
> Creating a custom Tracing interface is attractive because it is stand-alone
> and allows the client application to plug-in whichever trace mechanism it
> requires. There don't seem to be many down sides to this solution, so I'll
> post a sample impementation shortly.
