ConfigManager doesn't have to be loaded if InitServlet is already 
loaded....  After that, you can go straight to use DBObjects and 
Logging.  If you're looking to bypass security, either derive from DBObject 
instead of SecuredDBObject (not actually recommended) or when you 
instantiated your dbobject set the uid to SecuredDBObject.SYSTEM_ACCOUNT

Otherwise, there shouldn't be much more needed if any... I programmed 
DBObjects directly for at least a year when first dealing with Expresso.

HTH!
