Getting started with rhino service bus - rhino-servicebus

Question

I've read a lot of examples/tutorials (incl. Ayende's Alexandria on MSDN).
But just getting somewhat updated assemblies have proven to be an obstacle in itself. After getting the correct version of Castle.Windsor - it cannot find the correct section in the app.config file. The syntax in both Rhino Service Bus and the CastleBootstrapper has been changed as well - and I'm now totally confused. The 'documentation' on Hibernating Rhinos is really not helping me get started.
Could anyone please help me a working sample with Rhino Service Bus with either Castle Windsor v. 3.0 (beta) or 2.5.3, point me at something already online or just giving me a step-by-step pointers on what I need to get up and running?

Answer 1

after downloading the latest Rhino-ESB bits from github (https://github.com/hibernating-rhinos/rhino-esb) and building it, it's pretty straightforward to get started.
I have a asp.net MVC application which communicates with a backend through Rhino-ESB.
On the asp.net MVC side:
On global.asax.cs:
private IWindsorContainer _container;
protected void Application_Start()
{
_container = new WindsorContainer();
new RhinoServiceBusConfiguration().UseCastleWindsor(_container).Configure();
_container.Install(new YourCustomInstaller());
//Don't forget to start the bus
_container.Resolve<IStartableServiceBus>().Start();
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new WindsorControllerFactory(_container));
}
Note that YourCustomInstaller must implement IWindsorInstaller and you register your controllers with the container in the Installmethod:
public void Install(Castle.Windsor.IWindsorContainer container, Castle.MicroKernel.SubSystems.Configuration.IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.Register(Component
.For<HomeController>().LifeStyle.PerWebRequest.ImplementedBy<HomeController>());
Also note that the WindsorControllerFactory internally delegates controller creation to the container:
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
if (controllerType == null)
return null;
return (IController)this.container.Resolve(controllerType);
}
Last but not least, provide the configuration on your web.config
<configSections>
<section name="rhino.esb" type="Rhino.ServiceBus.Config.BusConfigurationSection, Rhino.ServiceBus"/>
</configSections>
<rhino.esb>
<bus threadCount="1"
numberOfRetries="5"
endpoint="rhino.queues://localhost:31316/Client"
queueIsolationLevel="ReadCommitted"
name="Client"/>
<messages>
<add name="YourMessagesNamespace"endpoint="rhino.queues://localhost:31315/Backend"/>
</messages>
</rhino.esb>
This configuration assumes that the backend runs a queue in localhost:31315 and the client runs its queue on localhost:31316.
On the backend side:
assuming we're running it as a console application,
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IWindsorContainer container;
container = new WindsorContainer();
new RhinoServiceBusConfiguration()
.UseCastleWindsor(container)
.Configure();
var host = new RemoteAppDomainHost(typeof(YourBootstrapper));
host.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Starting to process messages");
Console.ReadLine();
Notice that YourBootstrapperclass implements CastleBootstrapper
public class YourBootstrapper: Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle.CastleBootStrapper
{
protected override void ConfigureContainer()
{
Container.Register(Component.For<OneOfYourMessages>());
}
}
in which we're registering a consumer for OneOfYourMessages
