The current version 1.3.3 is avialable as NuGet package. This version is built against NHibernate 3.3.3 and Common.Logging 2.1.2.

NHibernate Logging Providers makes it possible to use your favourite logger with NHibernate. You no longer have to use log4net. The new NHibernate (since NH3) logging abstraction makes this possible. The providers are developed in C# using .NET 3.5.

The current release contains log providers for the following logging frameworks.

• Common.Logging 2.1.2

Common.Logging 2.1.2 supports several other logging frameworks. So you can use each of them with NHibernate via Common.Logging 2.1.1 abstraction.

The following logging frameworks are supported by Common.Logging 2.1.2:

• System.Console
• System.Diagnostics.Trace
• Log4Net 1.2.9
• Log4Net 1.2.10
• Log4Net 1.2.11
• NLog 1.0
• NLog 2.0
• Enterprise Library 3.1 Logging
• Enterprise Library 4.1 Logging
• Enterprise Library 5.0 Logging

The repository contains a *.nuspec file for creating a NuGet package since the last release. The file was created and contributed by Matthew Ferreira. Thanks again for the effort.

To use the Common.Logging 2.1 logging abstraction framework with NHibernate all you have to do is to copy the following Assemblies to you projects output directory:

• Common.Logging.dll
• NHibernate.Logging.CommonLogging.dll

Needless to say that you have to copy your loggers Assembly and the corresponding Common.Logging-Provider Assembly too. To enable the log provider you have to add the following lines to your Web.config or App.config:

<appSettings>
  <add key="nhibernate-logger" 
       value="NHibernate.Logging.CommonLogging.CommonLoggingLoggerFactory, NHibernate.Logging.CommonLogging"/>
</appSettings>
