Using structuremap with log4net wrapper

Question

I have the following interface:

public interface ILogger
{
    void Debug(string message, params object[] values);
    void Info(string message, params objec         


        

Answer 1

If the type parameter is context-specific, I don't think this is going to work as shown. If you need to pass something context specific in the constructor, you are likely going to have to create a factory interface and implementation that returns an instance of the ILogger:

public interface ILoggerFactory
{
    ILogger Create(Type type);   
}

public class LoggerFactory : ILoggerFactory
{
    public ILogger Create(Type type)
    {
        return new Log4netLogger(type);
    }
}

It might be possible to bootstrap StructureMap to supply the instance you want based on the type, but that assumes a limited number of types that you know in advance.
