New Post: PerRequestTask - where is context?

Sotorin2 — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:25:21 GMT

This article describes how to create per request task. However it's already over 2 years old, new interface (Execute() vs ExecuteCore(PerRequestExecutionContext context) has been implemented and, most notably, 'context' parameter is missing. Is there another way to access it? I need to close RavenDb session in it and I can't figure out how to access it. Is there a way to access the container? I'm using StructureMap version of MvcExtensions. BTW, I'm really liking the library and would like to use all its features. Please update documentation if you release new version. I'll be happy to contribute with documentation if I understand what's going on.

Also we had moved source code for version 2.5 to github http://mvcextensions.github.com

Hi, using Unity almost the same as Windsor.

1. Download package from nuget (or you could download release as zip archive):

install-package MvcExtensions.Unity

2. Inherit your application from MvcExtensions.Unity.UnityMvcApplication

http://mvcextensions.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/e5699e89a5e4#Trunk%2fSample%2fDemo.Web.Unity%2fGlobal.asax.cs

3. Register your services in modules (IModule)

http://mvcextensions.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/e5699e89a5e4#Trunk%2fSample%2fDemo.Web.Unity%2fInfrastructure%2fRegisterServices.cs

Aslo examples for each popular IoC container are located in 'Samples' directory in the source control.

>Do you plan to stop producing or make new commercial product on this basis?

No and no. Now we are developing version 2.5 which is focused on easily extension of fluent metadata and validation enchancements. Also in plans support for native MVC IoC adapters (such as Ninject.Mvc3, Autofac.Web.Mvc, Unity.Mvc3, etc) and possible support of WebActivator.

SpaceMarine — Mon, 28 May 2012 16:43:46 GMT

Good day, hazzik! Could you post a example of using Unity with MvcExtensions, please. Or do you still recommend Windsor? Do you plan to stop producing or make new commercial product on this basis?

New Post: Order of preference in registering bootstrapper tasks?

hazzik — Fri, 25 May 2012 06:51:33 GMT

For your custom tasks you can use DependsOnAttribute:

[DependsOn( typeof (RegisterAreas) )]
public class RegisterRoutesTask : BootstrapperTask {
// code
}

bioluminescence — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:48:28 GMT

Can I put them in any order? Will the bootstrapper know which to load first, for example areas before routes. Or doesn't it really matter?

Hi,

All required tasks should be registered automatically.

New Post: Registering the global filters

bioluminescence — Thu, 24 May 2012 07:04:33 GMT

The following code comes default with the global.asax.cs when you create a new ASP.NET MVC3 project:

public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
     filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}

I would like to create a bootstrapper task for this. Is there an already built in task for this or do I need to go and create a custom taks for this, if custom, what does my method have to inherit from?

New Post: What is your opinion on using MVCExtensions with Autofac?

bioluminescence — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:58:23 GMT

I would like to know your opinion on using MVCExtensions with Autofac..

I am using MVC Extensions with Autofac in my MVC 3 web app. I'm just not getting it why these extensions were created? I can't really say that it is makng my life easier. Everything that I did with Autofac in my global.asax.cs file I can do with the MVC extensions. I can register routes, controllers, my services and repositories, etc with just Autofac.

Any opinions why using these MVC extensions is maybe a better way to go?

I need to capture my errors in Application_Error. How do I get an instance of my registered logger? If I need to resolve dependencies some where else in my app how would I do this? This is how I register my logger:

builder.RegisterType<Logger>().As<ILogger>();

I can instantiate my logger but would rather like to use the registered logger.

Is there a tag for these extensions?

bioluminescence — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:54:13 GMT

When registering bootstrapper tasks, is there any specific order in which they need to occur? A before B and B before C etc? I only have this at the moment:

public class MvcApplication : AutofacMvcApplication
{
     public MvcApplication()
     {
          Bootstrapper.BootstrapperTasks
               .Include<RegisterAreas>()
               .Include<RegisterControllers>()
               .Include<RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask>()
               .Include<AutoMapperBootstrapperTask>();
     }
}

But there are many others like registering filters, view engines, views etc. Is there any of these that are mandatory that have to be there by default?

New Post: MVC areas not diplaying when registering routes and areas with MVC extensions

bioluminescence — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:45:10 GMT

Thanks.

I seem to have sorted out the problem. The problem is with the Routes.Clear(); I took it out and now everything is working fine. Here is my changes that I did to the code above:

public class RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask : RegisterRoutesBase
{
     public RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask(RouteCollection routes)
          : base(routes)
     {
     }
     protected override void Register()
     {
          Routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
          Routes.MapRoute(
               "Default",
               "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
               new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
          );
     }
}

Here is my updated global.asax.cs:

public class MvcApplication : AutofacMvcApplication
{
     public MvcApplication()
     {
          Bootstrapper.BootstrapperTasks
               .Include<RegisterAreas>()
               .Include<RegisterControllers>()
               .Include<RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask>()
               .Include<AutoMapperBootstrapperTask>();
     }
}

New Post: MVC areas not diplaying when registering routes and areas with MVC extensions

bioluminescence — Wed, 23 May 2012 16:17:46 GMT

Please excuse if this forums is not used, but I am in need of an answer and I do not know where to post it besides on Stack Overflow.

I am using MVC Extension with Autofac and I am having issues with my areas. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Initially I had the following in my global.asax.cs:

public class MvcApplication : AutofacMvcApplication
{
     public MvcApplication()
     {
          Bootstrapper.BootstrapperTasks
               .Include<RegisterControllers>();
     }
}

protected override void OnStart()
{
     AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
   
     RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
     RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
   
     base.OnStart();
}
   
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
    filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
   
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
   
    routes.MapRoute(
        "Default", 
        "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

With this code my areas displayed well. http://localhost:19857/Administration displays my Index view.

If I want MVC Extensions to register my routes and areas for me then http://localhost:19857/Administration displays nothing, just a 404 error.

This is the updated global.asax.cs to register my routes and areas:

public class MvcApplication : AutofacMvcApplication
{
     public MvcApplication()
     {
          Bootstrapper.BootstrapperTasks
               .Include<RegisterAreas>()
               .Include<RegisterControllers>()
               .Include<RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask>();
     }
   
     protected override void OnStart()
     {
          RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
   
          base.OnStart();
     }
   
     public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
     {
          filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
     }
}

My RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask class:

public class RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask : RegisterRoutesBase
{
     public RegisterRoutesBootstrapperTask(RouteCollection routes)
          : base(routes)
     {
     }
   
     protected override void Register()
     {
          Routes.Clear();
   
          Routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
   
          Routes.MapRoute(
               "Default",
               "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
               new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
          );
     }
}

Why won't my areas display?

When I go to http://localhost:19857/Administration then it needs to default to the Dashboard controllers Index view. Here is my area's registration code:

public override string AreaName
{
     get
     {
          return "Administration";
     }
}
   
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
     context.MapRoute(
          "Administration_default",
          "Administration/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
          new { controller = "Dashboard", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
     );
}
