Hi there, 
        
The issue IOC-ISSUE-153 was just created by George Mauer (togakangaroo).
        
        Key: IOC-ISSUE-153
        Summary: Logger facility can cause activation error when using abstract 
factory methods
        Type: Bug
        Importance: Medium
        
        Description:
        Posted on the mailing list too: 
http://groups.google.com/group/castle-project-devel/browse_thread/thread/19cf784fb8f61c4f
It seems that the logger facility analyzes components at registration and 
decides when and how to inject loggers at this point. 
The problem occurs if you are using a factory method without an ImplementedBy 
clause (for example an abstract factory).  In this case the logging facility 
does not inject the logger because the specific type is not known at 
registration time.  What probably should be occurring is that in this case the 
decision to inject a logger should be happening when the component is created. 
Another problem is that registration CAN use an ImplementedBy clause with a 
factory method in which case the logger is injected fine. However just because 
an ImplementedBy clause is used doesn't mean that this is necessarily the type 
the factory returns.  As a matter of fact as pointed out in this thread here: 
http://groups.google.com/group/castle-project-devel/browse_thread/thr... 
an ImplementedBy clause when a factory method is used doesn't really 
do anything at all. So what happens if an ImplementedBy clause specifies a 
logging type but the actual component returned from the factory method doesn't 
have an ILogger property?  ActivationError.
