How to configure log4net for WCF

Question

On my asp webforms app I would do the log4net initialization;

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

on global.asax on Application_Sta

Answer 1

I usually do this in the constructor of my service class, but I check if log4net is already configured:

if (!LogManager.GetRepository().Configured)  
{  
  // configure log4net...  
} 

I think if you really want to avoid this you would have to write your own service factory and perform the configuration there.
