Where & How Castle Windsor sets up logging facility

Question

I\'m fairly new to Castle Windsor and am looking into the in\'s and out\'s of the logging facility. It seems fairly impressive but the only thing i can\'t work out is where

Answer 1

You can also configure this programatically when you initialise windsor (e.g. from your global.asax.cs):

container.AddFacility("logging",  new LoggingFacility(LoggerImplementation.Log4net));

You can of course choose any of the logger implimentations.

This this will be wired up whenever windsor instantiates any class expecting a logger. I wouldn't put this in the constructor as it's a cross cutting concern - better to do like you suggested in my opinion. You can simplify it a little:

    private ILogger logger = NullLogger.Instance;
    public ILogger Logger
    {
        get { return logger; }
        set { logger = value; }
    }
