Have Castle Windsor select component based on requestor type namespace - castle-windsor

Question

I have an interface ISession whose instance is produced by a different Session Factory depending on which namespace the class belongs to.
Example of my component registration:
IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();
container.Register(Component.For<NHibernate.ISession>()
.UsingFactoryMethod((kernel, creationContext) =>
{
NHibernate.ISession session =
new SessionFactoryForNamespace1()
.Instance.GetSession();
return session;
})
.LifestylePerWebRequest());
container.Register(Component.For<NHibernate.ISession>()
.UsingFactoryMethod((kernel, creationContext) =>
{
NHibernate.ISession session =
new SessionFactoryForNamespace2()
.Instance.GetSession();
return session;
})
.LifestylePerWebRequest());
container.Register(Component.For<Namespace1.IRepository1()
.ImplementedBy<Namespace1.Repository1>());
container.Register(Component.For<Namespace2.IRepository2>()
.ImplementedBy<Namespace2.Repository2>());
Example of the resolution graph:
public class MyController
{
public MyController(Namespace1.IRepository1 repo1,
Namespace2.IRepository2 repo2) { }
}
namespace Namespace1
{
public interface IRepository1 { }
public class Repository1 : IRepository1
{
public Repository1(NHibernate.ISession session) { }
}
}
namespace Namespace2
{
public interface IRepository2 { }
public class Repository2 : IRepository2
{
public Repository2(NHibernate.ISession session) { }
}
}
When Castle Windsor is asked to resolve MyController, it then tries to resolve IRepository1 and IRepository2, and subsequently the ISession for each. I want to have Castle Windsor select the component handlers based on the requestor type's namespace which in my example is either Namespace1 or Namespace2.
I am new to Castle Windsor and not sure where in the resolution pipeline I'm supposed to be plugging into.
What is the best approach to accomplish what I have outlined above?

Answer 1

I think a service override would work for this.
UPDATE:
I also did an article on some of Windsor's advanced features (including a section on Service Overrides) that should augment the documentation linked above.

Answer 2

Here is how I implemented service override solution:
Repository interfaces now inherit from a common repository interface:
public class MyController
{
public MyController(Namespace1.IRepository1 repo1,
Namespace2.IRepository2 repo2) { }
}
public interface IRepository { }
namespace Namespace1
{
public interface IRepository1 : IRepository { }
public class Repository1 : IRepository1
{
public Repository1(NHibernate.ISession session) { }
}
}
namespace Namespace2
{
public interface IRepository2 : IRepository { }
public class Repository2 : IRepository2
{
public Repository2(NHibernate.ISession session) { }
}
}
Repository component registeration based on its namespace:
IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();
...
Action<Type> RegisterRepository = t =>
{
container.Register(
AllTypes.FromAssemblyContaining(t)
.BasedOn(typeof(IRepository))
.WithServiceAllInterfaces()
.Configure(c =>
{
c.DependsOn(
ServiceOverride
.ForKey<NHibernate.ISession>()
.Eq(c.Implementation.Namespace));
c.LifeStyle.Is(LifestyleType.Transient);
})
);
};
RegisterRepository(typeof(Namespace1.IRepository1));
RegisterRepository(typeof(Namespace2.IRepository2));
Seems to work :)
