Hi Krzysztof,

one of the scenariois where i use this is the following:
The application is extendable with any plugins. A costumer has also the ability to extend the application with his own plugins. The base for such plugins is a framework wich defines the architecture and some basic interfaces and classes so that the plugins can integrate properly. One of the reasons for user defined plugins are Task that could be started by hand or in a chronological order at defined points in time. So we provide Task interfaces for specific parts of the application (IPatientTask, IAppointmentTask and so on). For any other Task not associated with a specific part of the application, simply the ITask interface could be used. During startup the app searches for plugins and loads them. After that all plugins are being searched for known interface implementations to register them with the container.
In short it does something like this:

pContainer.Register( Component.For<IPatientTask>().ImplementedBy<PatientTaskCalc>().Named("p_calc").LifeStyle.Is(Castle.Core.LifestyleType.Transient) ); pContainer.Register( Component.For<IPatientTask>().ImplementedBy<PatientTaskMidnight>().Named("p_midnight").LifeStyle.Is(Castle.Core.LifestyleType.Transient) ); pContainer.Register( Component.For<IAppointmentTask>().ImplementedBy<AppointmentTaskMonth>().Named("a_month").LifeStyle.Is(Castle.Core.LifestyleType.Transient) ); pContainer.Register( Component.For<IAppointmentTask>().ImplementedBy<AppointmentTaskBack>().Named("a_back").LifeStyle.Is(Castle.Core.LifestyleType.Transient) );

In the application the user can now start a Task or can define, when a specific Task should start automatically etc. If i want a specific Task, i ask the container:

IPatientTask[] pTasksP = pContainer.ResolveAll<IPatientTask>(); //2
IAppointmentTask[] pTasksA = pContainer.ResolveAll<IAppointmentTask>(); //2

To get all the registered Tasks, i ask the container:
ITask[] pAllT = pContainer.ResolveAll<ITask>(); ///all 4


So, in the end for this i need the current behaviour or i have to change the current application code. Sure there are a lot of other ways to accomplish this but we decided years ago to do it that way, because it is simple and it is there :-) There are other parts, where we use the same approach for instance for text and document generation etc.

Regards

That's a fair point and that's precisely why I started this thread and asked for feedback.

So can you shed some more light on the context in which you're depending on current behaviour and why/if alternative approach (just registering your components with the service you ResolveAll) would or would not be feasable.



I also don't want to derail this thread but i would also be interested in hearing you scenario in which you're using RemoveComponent. Perhaps if you could start another thread to discuss that, that would be great.

Jason, that may all be true, but I want to use the container as is and don't want to rethink and rework thinks from release to release. Now i use ResolveAll and

want it to return all components implementing a specific service no matter for what else they are registered. Next time i have to build something new to do this.

Now i use RemoveComponent. Next release it is not available anymore and i have again to build something new. I don't know , i thought i simply could use the lib

to simplify my work where i have enough other things to think about.
