if anyone is interested...
Classes that use log4net:
public class Log4netLogFactory : QuickFix.LogFactory
{
public Log create()
{
return new Log4netLog();
}
public Log create(SessionID id)
{
return new Log4netLog();
}
}
public class Log4netLog: QuickFix.Log
{
private static readonly log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("Fix");
public Log4netLog()
{
}
public void onIncoming(String text)
{
log.InfoFormat("onIncoming: {0}", text);
}
public void onOutgoing(String text)
{
log.InfoFormat("onOutgoing: {0}", text);
}
public void onEvent(String text)
{
log.InfoFormat("onEvent: {0}", text);
}
public void clear()
{
}
}
Create this Log instead of the usual file log:
Log4netLogFactory logFactory = new Log4netLogFactory();
initiator = new SocketInitiator(application,
storeFactory,
settings,
logFactory /*optional*/,
messageFactory);
And you can create a separate appender so the FIX messages don't overrun your application logfile:
<!-- FIX gets its own appender so prevent it inheriting from root -->
<logger name="Fix" additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="FixFileAppender" />
<level value="debug" />
</logger>
