Rebus.CastleWindsor

Provides a Castle Windsor container adapter for Rebus.

Use it like this:

// 1 your application lives inside the container:
readonly IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();

// 2

// 3 ...which is OF COURSE disposed when your application shuts down:
container.Dispose();

In position 2 above, you will probably do something like this:

container.Install(FromAssembly.This());

and then you will have a bunch of installers in your assembly. This can be fine and dandy, just remember to not start the bus until you have everything registered correctly in the container.

Because this can be hard to get right, and because I prefer less magical ways of doing things, I usually just do this:

container
    .Install(new ThisAndThatInstaller())
    .Install(new SomethingElseInstaller())
    .Install(new RebusHandlersInstaller())
    .Install(new RebusInstaller())
    .Install(new BackgroundTimersInstaller())
    ;

which makes me absolutely sure that I know the order in which stuff is registered and started.

My RebusHandlersInstaller usually just looks like this:

public class RebusHandlersInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
    public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
    {
        container.AutoRegisterHandlersFromAssemblyOf<SomeHandler>();
    }
}

and then the RebusInstaller looks somewhat like this:

public class RebusInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
    public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
    {
        Configure.With(new CastleWindsorContainerAdapter(container))
            .(...)
            .Start();
    }
}

and that is basically all there is to it :)
