I'm trying to build a small application (ASP.NET MVC) that uses the plugin architecture. Along with Castle ActiveRecord Integration Facility. And I wish to let each plugin configure its own ActiveRecord behaviors. Like database connection string, proxy, etc..
However, I couldn't find a way to set multiple configurations without the use of web.config. The idea is to make this programmatically.
My goal is for each plugin in this system, if it defines its own ActiveRecord settings, the main application can set up next to ActiveRecordFacility these behaviors.
has someone do something like that?
P.S.: sorry, bad grammar...google translate...;P
You can set up the ActiveRecord configuration programmatically using InPlaceConfigurationSource (lots of examples around), then after initializing ActiveRecord (in your own code), call the ActiveRecordFacility with the skipARInitialization flag. e.g.:
container.AddFacility("ar", new ActiveRecordFacility(true));
This tells the facility not to try to initialize ActiveRecord, so it picks up the existing configuration.
Ok...the example in Lostechies works great. (link text)
Mauricio, thanks for the tip!

What I'm trying to do in Aurelia, is something like Prism is doing in WPF- Composite applications.
So lets say I have a "shell" application that defines the main application layout, then i have modules that I can plugin at run-time. Those modules can be an Aurelia application per se or Aurelia plugin (don't know what to use - need recommendation).
When loaded, the module needs to add it's menu items to the main application menu to expose it's features.
This is a mockup of the application:
Each module can have multiple menu items and can be pretty complex.
I'm using latest Typescript, Aurelia-CLI to create the application, and I'm using the built-in bundler : Aurelia's new built-in bundler.
So What I don't know is:
Those modules/features - what must they be? (Maybe Aurelia Plugins, or another Aurelia application?)
How to load those modules/features at run-time? (like deploy it in some plugins folder and tell the main shell application to load them)
How to modify the main menu and add new menu items from the loaded module?
Please help
Aurelia supports ultra dynamic applications. Also, there have been other community members who have had similar requirements and was able to resolve it. So I think the scenario is possible.
It seems the sub-application can just be a route.How/where to load the route should be determined based on the application URL
Those modules doesn't need to do anything specific, they can just be a normal, plain JS/TS class with lifecycle methods to handle activation/deactivation. I guess that main shell and all sub-applications need to share a common URL, you cannot have more than one router.
There could be a singleton/central store for new route to register information about loaded features, or it can be loaded upfront by a configuration file/metadata file or a database fetch.
Here is a similar question from another community member that I think can help you see how to glue things to https://discourse.aurelia.io/t/dynamicaly-load-routes/1906
I am trying to obtain information about the system configuration in RCP 4 application. I got a link RCP3 System Configuration which implemented in RCP3 for getting the system configuration. WorkbenchMessages properties and WorkbenchPlugin are used to get the system configuration in RCP3 application but in RCP4 those are not available. How can I implement to get the system configuration?
The ConfigurationInfo class you reference is using the org.eclipse.ui.systemSummarySection extension point and calling the ISystemSummarySection interfaces it defines to get the system summary.
This extension point and the ISystemSummarySection interface do not exist in a plain e4 app so this information is not available using this code.
You may be able to get some of the information by looking at the individual classes that implement ISystemSummarySection and copying the code for those parts that don't use 3.x compatibility mode classes.
For example the ConfigurationLogDefaultSection class just uses System.getProperties() to list the system properties section.
I have an app in Play 2.6 and Scala and I want to configure all my Action to return Future or not, or i could say, to be Action or Action.async by a config file. So I could configure my entire app to work in production or test environment.
I have no clue how to do that. Hpw can I start to study and implement it?
Thank you
I wonder if you're looking for something like this which would allow you to provide environment specific configuration values? Including how to use those values in your controller
That document also covers how to specify which application.conf to use via the command line.
I'm using ASP.Net MVC 4 RTM Web API. I have a controller action with a parameter that I'd like to populate via custom model binding. To achieve this, I created a class that derives from System.Web.Http.Controllers.HttpParameterBinding that sets the value of this parameter. I then created an attribute class that derives from System.Web.Http.ParameterBindingAttribute which I use to decorate the parameter on my controller action.
This is all working great, my HttpParameterBinding class is populating the action parameter correctly. The problem I have is that my custom parameter binding class has a dependency that I'd like resolved via my IoC container (Unity). Is there a way to override how Web API creates HttpParameterBinding instances so that I can build up my custom binding class dependency from Unity? I was able to do something similar for a filter attribute by creating a custom filter provider that uses Unity's BuildUp method to populate dependencies, however I'm not seeing anything similar for Web API's HttpParameterBindings.
In general: to use IoC / Unity in the Web API you need to set it up seperately.
Try downloading the nuget package Unity.WebApi and see if that helps!
Take a look at this article: Parameter Binding in WebAPI
It walks through a couple different options from Converters to Binders to BinderProviders. It sounds like you may be able to write a custom ModelBinderProvider which knows how to provide your dependency. If that isn't high enough in the chain you can look at replacing the default IActionValueBinder service. It's a DefaultActionValueBinder instance, which you can extend or simply re-implement.
I also highly recommend downloading the WebAPI source code, as it's been an incredible help for these issues as I've run into them. Here's the WebAPI source code. I recommend downloading it so you can open it in VS for easy navigation.
Feel free to check out FlitBit too (It's very modular, don't let the number of packages scare you off)! I'm working on a WebAPI package for supporting FlitBit, specifically FlitBit.IoC and FlitBit.Dto. I'll add an update if I work out my IoC issue, since it's very similar to yours.
I am looking for an example of how to configure an ASP.NET MVC2 project to use CastleWindsor container to do IoC.
I keep running into problems setting it up, and for every problem there seems to be a solution on-line, but in the end I make so many changes and end up with such a verbose setup to get IoC working using CastleWindsor, that I thought it best to ask this question.
I am looking for the minimum configuration required in the Global.asax page, the Web.config, and if required, what other changes and extension classes are required.
I am not looking to inject into actionfilters at this stage, so just the basics. Preferably not using XML files, but doing it in .NET programatically.
Thank you in advance...
This is as basic as it gets:
Start a MVC2 project from VS2010
Download MvcContrib for MVC2 (the one that says "extra binaries")
In your project, add a reference to (all these DLLs are included in MvcContrib):
Castle.Core.dll
Castle.DynamicProxy2.dll
Castle.MicroKernel.dll
Castle.Windsor.dll
MvcContrib.dll
MvcContrib.Castle.dll
In your Application_Start(), add these lines (and whatever namespaces are needed):
var container = new WindsorContainer();
container.RegisterControllers(typeof(HomeController).Assembly);
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new WindsorControllerFactory(container));
