Ninject Interceptors class with parameters - ninject

Simple question... I want to use Ninject Interceptors to take care of my NFRs, however alot of my classes require arguments in the constructors. I read that they are looking at allowing constructors with arguments but currently I get an error:
Can not instantiate proxy of class: myClass
Could not find a parameterless constructor.
Parameter name: constructorArguments
I am using version 2.2.1 I think, noticed there is a tagged 2.3 version on the extensions site, but will any of this solve my problems? if not is there any way around this?

2.3 adds support for Interface proxies. This means it will solve the problem for all types that are resolved by interface. It's also planned to add support for classes without default constructor.
But be aware that 2.3 is work in progress. While there aren't any known new problems it is not tested yet against real applications as 2.2 is and interface changes of new stuff can still change. Also InRequestScope support for XML and Conventions has temporarily been disabled.

Where is ProviderBase in .NET 5?

We have many projects based on the provider model/pattern. (Reading files from various sources, create reports from various sources, etc.) I have been unable to find anything equivalent to the ProviderBase in .net 5. We need an abstract interface/class that can be configured at runtime.
I suspect ProviderBase is something we will never see in ASP.NET 5 and beyond. Configuration is simpler in 5, and dependency injection is prevalent. Now you can create a class implementing your own custom interface and not have forced inheritance from ProviderBase. You can register the class or an instance of the class with a container and it will appear throughout the application. It might look like a bit more work at first, but I also suspect embracing DI will result in less code, and simpler code.

Ninject InRequest Scope Losing Binding

I'm having a frustrating issue with Ninject and MVC 4.
Here is the code block:
Kernel.Bind<IUserInfo>().To<UserInfo().InRequestScope();
var userInfo = Kernel.Get<IUserInfo>();
Most of the time, this is fine, and I have a user info. Sometimes, though, I get the following error:
Error activating IUserInfo
No matching bindings are available, and the Type is not self-bindable.
Activation path:
1) Request for IUserInfo
Suggestions:
1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for IUserInfo.
2) If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has been loaded into the kernel.
3) Ensure you have not accidentally created more than one kernel.
4) If you are using constructor arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors parameter name.\r\n 5) If you are using automatic module loading, ensure the search path and filters are correct.
I've pared down everything I cant think to, and am at a loss. I don't know why this would fail intermittently. Based on my admittedly limited knowledge of Ninject, there should be no way for the binding to be missing.
I see a lot of references to using the Ninject MVC Nuget packages, but the app as I inherited it does not use those, it initializes Ninject using an ActionFilter. Is this pattern just broken at its core, and somehow interfering with proper binding?
Help?
Take a look at the BindFilter option
https://github.com/ninject/ninject.web.mvc/wiki/Filter-configurations
There is some sort of caching issue I believe, that makes filters behave differently to controllers. This means that the binding can fail, usually under heavy load, but unpredicatably.
It turns out that newer versions of Ninject need more setup for InRequestScope to work. By removing Ninject entirely, and readding references to Ninject, Ninject.Web.Common, and Ninject.Web.MVC, it added the Ninject.Web.Common.cs file that was neccessary for InRequestScope to work.
Previously, it was actually binding InTransientScope, which meant it would get garbage collected, which is non-deterministic, which explains my intermittent issues. I wish it would have thrown exceptions when i tried to bind InRequestScope, but c'est la vie.

What is the recommended way to add Jackson mixin annotations dynamically?

I am using Jackson 2.3 in a JAX-RS application deployed (currently) to GlassFish 4.1.
I would like to be relieved of the burden of having to know of all the mixin classes ahead of time that might show up in my application as it matures. I'd like for my ObjectMapper to be able to discover them as things roll along.
I've written a ContextResolver<ObjectMapper> that, in its getContext(Class) method, does some configuration lookup to figure out what a mixin class might be for a given target class (following some naming conventions). If it finds such a class, then it loads it and adds it to the ObjectMapper using addMixInAnnotations().
It occurs to me that this on-demand discovery of mixin annotations probably doesn't work well with a shared instance of an ObjectMapper (perhaps changing configuration at this stage in the game is too late, or perhaps there are thread issues) and that there must be a better way. What is it?

Disable implicit binding/injection of non explicitly bound classes in Ninject 2+

If you request an unbound object from NInject, then the default behaviour is (if a suitable constructor is available) appears to be to create an instance of the appropriate object.
I'd like to disable this behaviour (I had a difficult to debug issue because something was auto-bound instead of picking up my custom binding in a module). This question hints that it is possible, but I'm unable to find the answer from the NInject wiki.
Remove the SelfBindingResolver from the kernel components after creation:
kernel.Components.RemoveAll<IMissingBindingResolver>();
kernel.Components.Add<IMissingBindingResolver, DefaultValueBindingResolver>();
The following is a better, more direct way of removing the SelfBindingResolver, without assuming that the DefaultValueBindingResolver is the only other IMissingBindingResolver component:
kernel.Components.Remove<IMissingBindingResolver, SelfBindingResolver>();
It's possible the Remove<T, TImplementation>() method was only added in a recent version of Ninject, but this works for me using Ninject 3.2.2.0.

Save and Load instances of objects created earlier via the Eclipse registry

I am currently experiencing a problem in my RCP application and wanted to ask, if someone stumbled over the same problem and can give me some valuable hints:
My RCP application allows plugins to provide implementations of a specific abstract class of my model (singleton) to extend my model during runtime via the update manager. I instantiate these classes via
extensionPointImplementation.createExecutableExtension(..)
after parsing the Eclipse registry. I can serialize the created instances using the default Java serialization API.
Now to the problem: The plugin trying to deserialize the objects cannot find the class implementations of the model extensions due to the fact, that there is no plugin dependency between the plugins. Nevertheless, it is not possible for me to create such a dependency which would make the idea of extending the model during runtime obsolete.
Is it possible to solve this problem by using the default Java serialization API or do I have to implement my own serialization (which parses the Eclipse registry and creates the instances via the line shown above if all necessary plugins are available, otherwise throw an exception) which might be based on the default Java serialization API (if possible I do not want to create the serialization completely by myself)?
Thanks.
You need to define a so called buddy policy.
In the bundle trying to instantiate the class add
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered
to the manifest.mf.
In the bundle providing the class add
Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: <symbolic name of the bundle instantiating the class>
to the manifest.mf.
