I'm using Castle Windsor and DynamicProxy to implement persistence Lazy Loading from scratch (I know NHibernate could be an option etc.) I have implemented a custom component activator to always instantiate my business classes as proxies. I found that the default mixin proxies automatically created when using interceptors were not being used when class methods are called from inside the class itself, which was a problem. So I inherited DefaultComponentActivator and overriding CreateInstance() I'm calling CreateClassProxy() to get a proxy that inherits from the business class, which in that respect works fine.
Now I was expecting this 'ProxyComponentActivator' activator of mine to be instantiated by Castle only once, but a new instance is being created for each class type. Is that correct?
Current registration is like this:
public void Install(
IWindsorContainer container,
Castle.MicroKernel.SubSystems.Configuration.IConfigurationStore store) {
container.Register(
Classes
.FromAssemblyContaining(typeof(OneOfMyBusinessClasses))
.InNamespace(typeof(OneOfMyBusinessClasses).Namespace)
.WithService.DefaultInterfaces()
.Configure(reg => reg.Activator<ProxyComponentActivator>())
.LifestyleTransient(),
etc.
);
);
The activator implementation is the following:
public class ProxyComponentActivator : DefaultComponentActivator
{
protected Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator ProxyGenerator { get; set; }
protected PersistenceInterceptor PersistenceInterceptor { get; set; }
public ProxyComponentActivator(ComponentModel model, Castle.MicroKernel.IKernelInternal kernel, ComponentInstanceDelegate onCreation, ComponentInstanceDelegate onDestruction)
: base(model, kernel, onCreation, onDestruction)
{
this.ProxyGenerator = kernel.Resolve<Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator>();
this.PersistenceInterceptor = kernel.Resolve<PersistenceInterceptor>();
}
protected override object CreateInstance(CreationContext context, ConstructorCandidate constructor, object[] arguments) //, Type[] signature)
{
object instance;
Type implType = this.Model.Implementation;
ProxyGenerationOptions p = new ProxyGenerationOptions();
IPersistent ip = new Persistent();
p.AddMixinInstance(ip);
try
{
instance = this.ProxyGenerator.CreateClassProxy(implType, null, p, arguments, this.PersistenceInterceptor);
}
catch
{
throw new ComponentActivatorException("ComponentActivator: could not proxy " + implType.FullName, Model);
}
return instance;
}
}
I have also tried to register the activator like this, to no avail...
Component.For<ProxyComponentActivator>()
.ImplementedBy<ProxyComponentActivator>()
.LifestyleSingleton()
Thanks in advance for any help, Luis
