Monorail Services w/ Windsor Integration (on trunk)

[Mike Thomas]

(background: I'm learning MonoRail the hard way - building a plugable
CMS system - it like learning to swim by being tossed into an ocean)

I just want to clarify my understanding on something and see if it is
working how it should :) In my project I need to interact dynamically
with some MonoRail services. Specifically the IViewSourceLoader.
What confuses me is what the *best way* to get that is. For example
Container.Resolve<IControllerTree>() -> works and returns the
IControllerTree service/implenentation
Container.Resolve<IViewSourceLoader>() -> fails... I can only access
the IViewSourceLoader directly through the MonoRailContainer or
through IMonoRailContainerEvents.Initialized...

So, the question is, why can some services be found in the Container
but not others?

Agreed.

Because the Windsor Integration replaces some of MonoRail default
services. You're requesting one of them (IControllerTree).
IViewSourceLoader is not one of them.

What I do is:

public class Global : HttpApplication, IContainerAccessor,
IMonoRailContainerEvents
{
.......

public void Initialized(IMonoRailContainer mrContainer)
{
container.Register(
Component.For<IViewSourceLoader>().Instance(mrContainer.ViewSourceLoader));
}

Ahh... that makes sense.
