Windsor and MVC4

[Wayne Douglas]

Hi

Does anyone have any pointers to getting the container wired up in
MVC4? I also understand the process differs slightly for web and web
api?

Googling seems to come up with controller factories which to my
understanding are not necessary in mvc 4?

It would be really nice if there is another "tobeseen" example for mvc4 :)

* including general exception interceptor

I don't think it would be much different from MVC3...

so i'd still need a controller factory and all that?

I thought the whole point was that they had integrated it all better
so we won't need all that? With the whole DependencyResolver thing no?

i guess dependancyresolver is not the way to go:

This is what I did:

• Create the following contorller factory:

 public class WindsorControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
        private readonly IKernel _container;

        public WindsorControllerFactory(IKernel container)
        {
            _container = container;
        }

        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, System.Type controllerType)
        {
            if(controllerType == null)
            {
                throw new HttpException(404, "Controller not found.");
            }
            return _container.Resolve(controllerType) as IController;
        }
    }

• Instruct MVC to make use of this controller factor by adding the following in the method Application_Start in the file Global.asax.cs I instructed:

    ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(Container.Resolve<IControllerFactory>());

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it works.

Kind regards,
Merijn
