Hi Jan,
We have an application with plugins containing controllers, views as
embedded resources etc. So I can say this all does work :)
I believe you are using the wrong container - IViewSourceLoader is available
from the Monorail container, rather then windsor...
I would suggest implementing IMonoRailContainerEvents for your
HttpApplication (Global.asax) - and then do something like:
public void Initialized(IMonoRailContainer monorailContainer)
{
windsorContainer.Register(Component.For<IViewSourceLoader>().Instance(monorailContainer.ViewSourceLoader))
}
so the service is available in your IoC container as well...
BTW - If you need to support removing/disabling plugins at runtime as well
(and removing their views) - you can do this by casting IViewSourceLoader
to FileAssemblyViewSourceLoader, and then remove entries from the
instance's AssemblySources collection. Bit of a hack, but it does the trick
if you need that kind of functionality (like we did) - at some point I might
submit a patch to expose a real "Remove" method on the IViewSourceLoader's
interface.
Also in your code you might wan't to check to see if a
ControllerDetailsAttribute is associated with the controller type, in case
it's name is different to it's type name.
Cheers,
- Alex
