As I understand Avalon the goal is that the container looks after it's
children (Container sets the Logger for a child. See
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Loggable. Same with Configurable) and
the children should contain no references to it's parent (I think that's
part of what's called Inversion of Control). There's a good, new article
by Berin Loritsch that goes into more detail.
I think in this context a servlet (as container) will set the Logger for
FOP which in turn sets the Logger for its children. The same applies to
a command-line container etc. Well, I'm not the expert about Avalon, yet,
but I hope it helps.

I'll help as much as I can.
