Castle registering Glass.Mapper.Sc.SitecoreService, database name dependency

[Tom Underhill]

I'm registering the SitecoreService with Windsor as follows:

Component.For<ISitecoreService>().ImplementedBy<SitecoreService>().LifestyleTransient()

                    .DependsOn(Dependency.OnValue("databaseName","web"))

which works fine.

However, it means that the SitecoreService will always be looking at the same database (in this case web). Really I want to vary this according to the context of the request, so that when in Editing mode I'm accessing the master db, when on the front end I access master etc.

I guess I could wrap the SitecoreService with my own class that implements a parameterless constructor which uses the Sitecore.Context to decide which database name to use. I'd then register this as so:

Component.For<ISitecoreService>().ImplementedBy<MySitecoreService>().LifestylePerWebRequest()

But can anyone think of a better way of doing it?

Cheers,

Tom

Instead of registering your own database name for the ISitecoreService with Dependency Injection, are you able to simply use ISitecoreContext instead?

That is practically a ISitecoreService with uses the context database already.
