IoC, Containers, and NServiceBus confusion

Question

Hey guys, here's my setup

• Castle Windsor is my container
• NServiceBus is itself using it's own container internally, Spring by default
• I'm implementing the PubSub config.

Ok, if I have my Bus.Publish happening within my IWantToRunAtStartup class, then everything is fine. As a test for example on Run() we can start a timer and it'll go into a Service style loop.

However, what if I want to abstract NServiceBus from my app, and have my app go:

new CustomPulisherClass().Notify(ISomeMessage msg);

In this situation, how do I implement CustomPublisherClass.

My confusion is coming from the fact that NServiceBus is already running as a Service, it's already been "Started". How to I get at the correct instance of the Bus object?

cheers

Answer 1

You should configure NServiceBus to use Windsor as the internal container:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/nservicebus/index.php?title=Additional_containers

If you do that the correct IBus will be available in your instance of Windsor

Hi Andy,

Could you explain how you got this to work? I am having trouble with container.Resolve().

How do I get NServiceBus to register its dependencies into my container? I Want to be able to resolve IBus as a dependency in my own class.

I have the following already:

Configure.With()
            .CastleWindsorBuilder(Container.Instance)
            .XmlSerializer()
            .CreateBus();
