If you are using wanting to use the Funq Container Autowire IoC outside of the ServiceStack service then you need to call Container.AutoWire
yourself to have the container inject the relevant dependencies. This call is made behind the scenes in the ServiceStack request pipeline.
For ServiceStack v4:
HostContext.Container.AutoWire(objectToPopulate);
For ServiceStack v3:
AppHostBase.Instance.Container.AutoWire(objectToPopulate);
I would typically add this call to the construtor method of the object I want populated with the injections. So in your case:
public class WidgetAActions
{
public WidgetARepository WidgetARepository { get; set; }
public WidgetAActions()
{
// (Substitute with v3 usage if required.)
HostContext.Container.AutoWire(this);
}
...
}
Hope this helps.
Edit: Have you considered having the container inject the corresponding repository to WidgetAActions
's constructor?
container.RegisterAutoWired<WidgetAActions>(c => new WidgetAActions(c.Resolve<WidgetARepository>()));
public class WidgetAActions
{
public WidgetARepository WidgetARepository { get; private set; }
public WidgetAActions(WidgetARepository repository)
{
WidgetARepository = repository;
}
...
}
Edit: Or you could resolve and set the public property of your object to the repository and then you don't have to have a constructor:
container.RegisterAutoWired<WidgetAActions>(c =>
new WidgetAActions { WidgetARepository = c.Resolve<WidgetARepository>() }
);
public class WidgetAActions
{
public WidgetARepository WidgetARepository { get; set; }
...
}
Or you could call autowire at time of resolving WidgetAActions
:
container.RegisterAutoWired<WidgetAActions>(c => {
var actions = new WidgetAActions();
container.AutoWire(actions); // All dependencies injected
return actions;
});
public class WidgetAActions
{
public WidgetARepository WidgetARepository { get; set; }
...
}
