Stefan Bodewig updated LOG4NET-246:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.2.11
Your patch is the wrong way around (you've mixed up old and new) but otherwise
looks OK to me.
> Make it possible to choose whether or not to watch configuration files
> specified using the "log4net.Config" appsetting key

> Key: LOG4NET-246
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-246
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.2.10
> Reporter: Uri Goldstein
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: appsettings, configuration
> Fix For: 1.2.11

> Attachments: DefaultRepositorySelector-LOG4NET-246-PatchA.patch

>
> Currently (v1.2.10) it is possible to specify a configuration file for
> log4net by adding a key like this in the host application's configuration
> <appSettings> section:
> <add key="log4net.Config" value="Log.config" />
> This defaults to invoking XmlConfigurator.Configure() on the file specified
> (log4net/Core/DefaultRepositorySelector.cs, line 725). This means the file
> is not watched for changes during program run time.
> It would be nice if there was some way similar to the above <appSettings> key
> to specify whether log4net should watch the file or not.
> I might propose that a new key is introduced in this fashion:
> <add key="log4net.Config.Watch" value="true" />
> This key would denote a bool value defaulting to false. The value would only
> be taken into consideration if the "log4net.Config" key is specified.
