LoggerManager and IOC

[Leo Sutic <le...@inspireinfrastructure.com>]

How does LoggerManager and its associated interface fit with IOC?

It is the only interface that allows a component to "break out" of its
container and obtain references to global resources *not* through a CM.

I'd like to see the LoggerManageable interface deprecated, and force any
component that needs a LoggerManager to look it up via a CM.

(I am willing to wait for Avalon 5, so backwards compatibility is not
an obstacle, and I have not given it any thought.)

The reason it doesn't (right pete?) is that you want to be able to
start logging before you receive your CM. That, and speed.

I think the above two reasons are valid enough to break IoC.
