Is it possible to inject dependencies into an NServiceBus Message Mutator? - nservicebus

I'd like to inject a dependency into an NServiceBus Message Mutator... since the lifetime of the Mutators is controlled by NServiceBus (and NSB wants a paramaterless constructor), constructor injection won't work...
any ideas?
UPDATE: Here is the code:
public class AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders :
IMutateOutgoingTransportMessages,
INeedInitialization
{
private readonly IProvideTransactionInformation transactionInformationProvider;
public void Init()
{
Configure.Instance.Configurer.ConfigureComponent<AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders>(DependencyLifecycle.InstancePerCall);
}
public AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders()
{
}
public AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders(IProvideTransactionInformation transactionInformationProvider)
{
this.transactionInformationProvider = transactionInformationProvider;
}
public void MutateOutgoing(object[] messages, TransportMessage transportMessage)
{
...
}
}
}
If I take away the empty ctor, I get this error message thrown from my ConfigureBus() call in Global.asax:
"No parameterless constructor defined for this object."

To get around this, I just kept one empty constructor for NServiceBus and then created a overloaded constructor that took my dependency that is managed by Unity.
It works.
Didn't know that mutators could work like that. It was my first time trying to inject a dependency into one.
UPDATE:
I got around this by using property injection on the mutator instead:
public class AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders : IMutateOutgoingTransportMessages, INeedInitialization
{
public IProvideTransactionInformation TransactionInformationProvider { get; set; }
public void Init()
{
Configure.Instance.Configurer.ConfigureComponent<AddTransactionInformationToOutgoingHeaders>(DependencyLifecycle.InstancePerCall);
}
public void MutateOutgoing(object[] messages, TransportMessage transportMessage)
{
...
}
}
Worked perfectly.

Pretty sure both constructor and property injection should work. What is the exception?

NInject IBindingGenerator and ToProvider

I've created this code:
public class AddonsModule : Ninject.Modules.NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
this.Bind(b => b.FromAssembliesMatching("*")
.SelectAllClasses()
.InheritedFrom(typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon))
.BindWith(new AddonBindingGenerator())
);
}
private class AddonBindingGenerator : IBindingGenerator
{
public System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Ninject.Syntax.IBindingWhenInNamedWithOrOnSyntax<object>> CreateBindings(System.Type type, Ninject.Syntax.IBindingRoot bindingRoot)
{
if (type.IsInterface || type.IsAbstract)
yield break;
yield return bindingRoot.Bind(type).ToProvider(typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon));
}
}
private class AddonProvider : IProvider<UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon>
{
public object Create(IContext context)
{
return null;
}
public Type Type
{
get { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}
}
}
AddonProvider seems be avoided. This is never performed.
When I perform:
kernel.GetAll<UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon>(), AddonProvider.Create method is never performed.
Could you tell me what's wrong?
I'll appreciate a lot your help.
Thanks for all.
AddOnProvider is inheriting from IProvider<T> instead of UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon.
also, you may have issues binding to private inner classes. make AddOnProvider a public top level class.
You're binding a specific type which inherits from typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon) to a provider. For example, there could be a class Foo : UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon.
Now your convention binding translates to this:
Bind<Foo>().ToProvider<AddonProvider>();
Now, kernel.GetAll<UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon>() however is looking for bindings made like:
Bind<UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon>().To...
Fix It
So what you need to do is change the line
bindingRoot.Bind(type).ToProvider(new AddonProvider());
to:
bindingRoot.Bind(typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon)).ToProvider<AddonProvider>();
Furthermore
you're line object f = bindingRoot.Bind(type).ToProvider(new AddonProvider()); is never returning the binding (object f).
does UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon implement IProvider?
Thanks for your answer and comments.
I believe the trouble is on I'm not quite figuring out how this "generic" binding process works.
I'm going to try writing my brain steps process out:
I need to bind every AbstractAddon implementation inside addons assemblies folder. So, I think this code is right, but I'm not sure at all.
this.Bind(b => b.FromAssembliesMatching("*")
.SelectAllClasses()
.InheritedFrom(typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon))
.BindWith(new AddonBindingGenerator())
);
My AbstractAddon is like:
public abstract class AbstractAddon : IAddon
{
private object configuration;
public AbstractAddon(object configuration)
{
this.configuration = configuration;
}
// IAddon interface
public abstract string PluginId { get; }
public abstract string PluginVersion { get; }
public abstract string getCaption(string key);
public abstract Type getConfigurationPanelType();
public abstract System.Windows.Forms.UserControl createConfigurationPanel();
}
I guess I need to:
foreach implementation of `AbstractAddon` found out,
I need to "inject" a configuration object ->
So, I guess I need to set a provider and provide this configuration object.
This would be my main way of thinking in order to solve this problem.
I've changed a bit my first approach. Instead of using a IBindingGenerator class, I've used the next:
public class AddonsModule : Ninject.Modules.NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
this.Bind(b => b.FromAssembliesMatching("*")
.SelectAllClasses()
.InheritedFrom(typeof(UIExtensibility.AbstractAddon))
.BindAllBaseClasses()
.Configure(c => c.InSingletonScope())
);
this.Bind<object>().ToProvider<ConfigurationProvider>()
.WhenTargetHas<UIExtensibility.ConfigurationAttribute>();
}
So, My ConfigurationProvider is:
private class ConfigurationProvider : IProvider<object>
{
public object Create(IContext context)
{
return "configuration settings";
}
}
And now, my AbstractAddon constructor contains the parameter annotated with ConfigurationAttribute as:
public AbstractAddon([Configuration]object configuration)
{
this.configuration = configuration;
}
The problem now, NInject seems to ignore the configuration object provider. NInject generates a dump object, however, not perform ConfigurationProvider.Create method...
What I'm doing wrong, now?
Is this approach really better than the last one?
Thanks for all.

NinjectModule and IProvider not resolving types

Here is the set up that is not working
Using Ninject V3.0
public class LoggerModule : NinjectModule{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<ILogger>.ToProvider(MyLoggerProvider);
}
}
public class MyLoggerProvider: IProvider<ILogger>
{
public object Create(IContext context){
return new OneOfMyLoggers();
}
}
In my application wherever I inject instance of ILogger (using constructor or property injection, just does matter) I never get instance of ILogger resolved.
But If do not use module and/or povider, and bind when kernel is created, everything works like a charm. The following works
public class MyDiResolver()
{
public MyDiResolver()
{
MyKernel = new StandardKernel();
MyKernel.Bind<ILogger>().To<OneOfMyLoggers>();
}
}
The same arrangement of modules and providers works fine in Ninject2.x version. Is there something different about Ninject V3.0 that I am missing?
Thanks
Try passing the module into the StandardKernel so it knows to use it:
using (IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new LoggerModule()))
{
ILogger logger = kernel.Get<OneOfMyLoggers>();
}

bind to property always return null

I am trying to bind a repository to property using Ninject but always get null reference of binding object. I will explain the problem using code below.
public interface IServiceRepository
{
User GetUser(string email);
IQueryable<Statistic> GetStatisticForCurrentMonth(string ip);
void InsertStatistic(ConversionModel conversionModel);
class ServiceRepository : IServiceRepository
{
//Implementation of the Interface
}
I am would like to bind the repository above to class below while the class is created. Unfortunately Repository object is always null. Maybe I have misunderstood how Ninject is working? How to solve the problem?
public class Converter
{
[Inject]
public static IServiceRepository Repository { get; set; }
private static Converter _converter;
public static Converter Instance
{
get { return _Converter ?? (_Converter = new Converter ());
}
}
Ninject activator code
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IServiceRepository>().ToMethod(context => Converter.Repository);
}
Update
I have tried to rewrite code like this
public class Converter
{
private readonly IServiceRepository _repository;
public Converter(IServiceRepository repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
//skip code
}
The test...
[TestMethod]
public void ConverterInstanceCreated()
{
using (IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel())
{
kernel.Bind<IServiceRepository>().To<ServiceRepository>();
Assert.IsNotNull(kernel.Get<Converter>());
}
}
gives exception
Test method PC.Tests.NinjectTest.ConverterInstanceCreated threw exception:
Ninject.ActivationException: Error activating IServiceRepository
No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable.
Activation path:
2) Injection of dependency IServiceRepository into parameter repository of constructor of type Converter
1) Request for Converter
I just lost, I am trying to understand how Ninject is working for about week without any success. In my case why this exception is thrown?
Also please someone post working example with one repository injection to singleton class.
Ninject does not inject statics. Change the coynverter to a non-static class and configure it as Singleton in ninject. Also use constructor injection and make the repo a private field.
Now you can inject the converter to the constructors where you need it.
Even though you are using Property injection and not Constructor injection I think it would still be
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IServiceRepository>().To<ServiceRepository>();
}
As ninject still just needs to know what concrete type to map to the Interface
I haven't tested this so apologies if it's wrong.

Ninject with WCF and Interception (for AOP)

I've been trying to get the ninject working in wcf, using the wcf extension and the interception with dynamicproxy2 extension. I've basically created a Time attribute and have it all working in a basic scenario. Where I get trouble is when in ninject module I create my service binding with a constructor argument:
Bind<IMyDependency>().To<MyDependency>();
Bind<IService1>().To<Service1>().WithConstructorArgument("dependency", Kernel.Get<IMyDependency>());
Everything works fine, but the Time attribute wont fire on anything in my Service1 or MyDependency.
The time attribute is the standard one floating all over the internet. The only other piece of code really is the CreateKernel method is the global.asax, which looks like this:
protected override IKernel CreateKernel() {
IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(
new NinjectSettings() { LoadExtensions = false },
new WcfNinjectModule(),
new DynamicProxy2Module()
);
return kernel;
}
Thanks for any help!
Matt
EDIT 12/12/2011: As requested, I've added some more detail below:
The entire wcf ninject module:
public class WcfNinjectModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IMyDependency>().To<MyDependency>();
Bind<IService1>().To<Service1>();
}
}
The create kernel method in the global.asax is above, and the global.asax inherits from NinjectWcfApplication.
Service method looks like this:
public class Service1 : IService1
{
private IMyDependency _dependency;
public Service1()
{
}
public Service1(IMyDependency dependency)
{
_dependency = dependency;
}
[Time]
public virtual string GetData(string value)
{
return string.Format(_dependency.GetMyString(), value);
}
}
public interface IMyDependency
{
string GetMyString();
}
public class MyDependency : IMyDependency
{
[Time]
public virtual string GetMyString()
{
return "Hello {0}";
}
}
Does this help?
Since removing the 'WithConstructor' argument, the time intercept attribute will fire on GetMyString but not on GetData.
Matt
After a little more work (and writing that last post edit), it turns out that just removing the WithConstructorArgument method did resolve my problem and everything now seems to be working fine.

Injecting my UnitOfWork into my Repository Constructor

Im very new but on a quest to learn nhibernate and DI with structuremap so am making an app to test everything out.
I am having some problems injecting my unitofwork into my base repository. I create a unitofwork on every request then either commit or rollback at the end. But when tryin to inject into my base repository its always null when i go to use it in my methods. More specifically i get this error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Any ideas what im doing wrong and if this is the correct route i should be going?
Many thanks in advance.
Base Repository:
public abstract class Repository<T> : IRepository<T>
{
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
UnitOfWork = _unitOfWork;
}
public Repository() {}
public void Save(T obj)
{
_unitOfWork.CurrentSession.Save(obj);
}
}
StructureMap registry thats set in my application_start:
public class NHibernateRegistry : Registry
{
public NHibernateRegistry()
{
For<IUnitOfWork>().HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped().Use<UnitOfWork>();
For<ISession>().HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped().Use(context => context.GetInstance<ISessionFactory>().OpenSession());
For<ISessionFactory>().Singleton().Use(NHibernateSessionFactory.GetSessionFactory());
}
}
Update:
The baserepository is inherited by specific repositorys ie ArticleRepository then im injecting that into my aspx pages on application_start. Then my aspx page inherits a basepage where the buildUp takes place. And i access the repository like this:
public IArticleRepository ArticleRepo { get; set; }
public void SaveThing()
{
ArticleRepo.Save(object);
}
This gets called on application_start:
public class Bootstrapper
{
public static void BootStrap()
{
ObjectFactory.Configure(x =>
{
x.AddRegistry<NHibernateRegistry>();
x.AddRegistry<WebRegistry>();
});
}
}
And in the webregistry:
For<IArticleRepository>().Use<ArticleRepository>();
There is a good chance your ArticleRepository doesn't have a constructor that takes an IUnitOfWork as a parameter make sure you have the following
public class ArticleRepository : Repository<Article>
{
public ArticleRepository(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork) : base(unitOfWork)
{
}
...
}
Remember Strcuture map uses the greediest constructor on the class that it instantiates. Since your abstract repository class will never be instantiated it will not use its constructors. I would also suggest not having any default constructors if your classes need to have their dependencies injected that way. Less chance for errors that way.
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
UnitOfWork = _unitOfWork;
}
I think you mean to write
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
_unitOfWork = UnitOfWork;
}
You were assigning the local variable to the parameter instead of the parameter to the local variable.
Edit: Also you should write your parameter with a lowercase U 'unitOfWork' instead of 'UnitOfWork'
