[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-31?page=comments#action_65769 ] Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-31: --------------------------------------
When I try this snytax: <converter> <name value="user-converter" /> <type value="Company.Project.Logging.UserConverter, Company.Project" /> <address value="HomeAddress" /> </converter> I get the following error: log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Cannot find Property [address] to set object on [log4net.Layout.PatternLayout+ConverterInfo] > Allow user to pass in additional parameters to <converter> node via some kind > of <property> tag > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-31 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-31 > Project: Log4net > Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ron Grabowski > Priority: Minor > > It would be useful if the user was able to supply additional properties to > the <convert> tag in the form of: > <property name="foo" value="bar" /> > <property name="Hello" value="World" /> > The code below uses a <property> node to determine if the HomeAddress or the > WorkAddress will appear in the log message.
