Upgrading Application from Enterprise Library 5 to 6


I am upgrading an existing application from 5 to 6. My application is a .NET web application. I rely on Enterprise library to log any errors to the database (sql server).

My application also uses a custom database listener and a custom Logging Exception Handler (both in the form of separate .net projects within my solution).

So, I have 6 installed, and have added the following code to Application_Start-

             IConfigurationSource config = ConfigurationSourceFactory.Create();
        ExceptionPolicyFactory factory = new ExceptionPolicyFactory(config);
        Logger.SetLogWriter(new LogWriterFactory().Create());

        ExceptionManager exceptionManager = factory.CreateManager();

I get a System.NotImplementedException when it hits the Logger.SetLogWriter(new LogWriterFactory().Create()); line of code.

EDIT: More specific error details

 System.NotImplementedException was unhandled by user code
 HResult=-2147467263
 Message=Must be implemented by subclasses.
 Source=Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my web.config-

EDIT: Thanks to @lrb for getting me on the right path. Here is the code that worked-

protected void Application_Start()
{
    LoggingConfiguration loggingConfiguration = BuildLoggingConfig();
    LogWriter logWriter = new LogWriter(loggingConfiguration);
    Logger.SetLogWriter(logWriter, false);
    ExceptionPolicy.SetExceptionManager(exManager);

    // Create the default ExceptionManager object programatically
    exManager = BuildExceptionManagerConfig(logWriter);

    // Create an ExceptionPolicy to illustrate the static HandleException method
    ExceptionPolicy.SetExceptionManager(exManager);

           ...
}

private static LoggingConfiguration BuildLoggingConfig()
{
    // Formatters

    var config = new LoggingConfiguration();

    return config;
}

private static ExceptionManager BuildExceptionManagerConfig(LogWriter logWriter)
{
    var policies = new List<ExceptionPolicyDefinition>();

    var logAndWrap = new List<ExceptionPolicyEntry>
            {

                new ExceptionPolicyEntry(typeof (Exception),
                    PostHandlingAction.ThrowNewException,
                    new IExceptionHandler[]
                     {
                       new WrapHandler("An application error has occurred.",
                         typeof(APIAvailabilityException))
                     })
            };

    policies.Add(new ExceptionPolicyDefinition("Policy", logAndWrap));

    return new ExceptionManager(policies);
}

Solution

  • It has changed up a little. You just need a dummy ConfugurationSource. This defaults to everything as it was and works for me. Notice the optional ThrowIfSet parameter for the SetLogWriter method. The documentation states:

    throwIfSet : true to throw an exception if the writer is already set; otherwise false. Defaults to true.

    IConfigurationSource configurationSource = ConfigurationSourceFactory.Create();
    LogWriterFactory logWriterFactory = new LogWriterFactory(configurationSource);                
    Logger.SetLogWriter(logWriterFactory.Create(),false);
    Logger.Write(le);
