Transient m_logger in AbstractLogEnabled?

[Marcus Crafter]

Hi Guys,
Hope all is going well.
Torsten and I were playing around some XStream serialization of 
components this evening.

Everything worked out really well, however part of the component's state 
that was written out to the resultant file was the 'm_logger' member 
variable in AbstractLogEnabled.

Since this was the full logger object, the resultant XML file for one 
object was around 350kb, rather than 3k :)

Since persistence of any component will require the logger to be re-set 
on the component when it's recovered we thought it would make sense to 
set the m_logger field to 'transient' in AbstractLogEnabled?

The change would be:
  private Logger m_logger;
becomes:
  private transient Logger m_logger;
Since this is a change to framework though, and one in the area of 
serialization where we don't know all the details, we thought we'd bring 
it up on the list - what does everyone think?

Cheers,
Marcus
