Logging

Rookie Moves # Awhile ago, I had originally created a single logger for each service and shared it statically across the application.

Motivation # I decided to use log4net for a recent project I had been working on. There is a concept of loggers and appenders. Loggers are composed of appenders and a log threshold. Appenders are consumers of logging information and provide specific implementations (eg. file, email, event log, database). You can configure the loggers and appenders either in the application configuration or at runtime.
