One can initialize the logger by an IoC container (StructureMap, Ninject, Windsor, or a ServiceLocator etc etc) or just in code like in your Attribute
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(
System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

and then if you wish to log it as an error just use
log.Error(“Service failed : ” + ex.Message);

inside your HandleError call, if you wish for it to be debug just call log.debug its up to you.

This looks like a very nice way to do it, good job
I’m also using log4net (but without a wrapper..), and have a question:
- where do you initialize the logger? And wich Type do you supply?
- If I log inside HandleError, does log4net show the correct type?
