Okay, I think I've found a possible solution, partly using the approach detailed here which shows how it is possible to register Func<>
s with Windsor.
First, I register a delegate (Func<>) that uses the container to resolve by name:-
Container.Register(Component.For<Func<string, IHubProxy>>()
.Instance(name => Container.Resolve<IHubProxy>(name))
.LifestyleSingleton());
Think of this as an IHubProxy "factory".
Next, I register my hub proxies as detailed in my original question:-
container.Register(Component.For<IHubProxy>()
.UsingFactoryMethod((kernel, context) => hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("FooHub"))
.LifestyleSingleton()
.Named("FooHub"));
container.Register(Component.For<IHubProxy>()
.UsingFactoryMethod((kernel, context) => hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("BarHub"))
.LifestyleSingleton()
.Named("BarHub"));
Here is an example of a class that needs instances of the hub proxies:-
public class SomeClass
{
private IHubProxy _fooHub;
private IHubProxy _barHub;
public SomeClass(Func<string, IHubProxy> hubProxyFactory)
{
_fooHub = hubProxyFactory("FooHub");
_barHub = hubProxyFactory("BarHub");
}
}
Untried so far, but it looks promising. It's a clever solution but injecting the Func<> feels a little hacky, so I would still be keen to hear of other possible solutions to my problem.
