Question

http://code.google.com/p/lokad-cloud/wiki/Serialization

I have been trying to swap the default serialization in Lokad.Cloud. I have tried something along the following:

public class ServiceWebModule : Module
{
    public string AzureConnectionString { get; set; }

    protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.Register(CloudStorageProviders).InstancePerLifetimeScope();
    }

    CloudStorageProviders CloudStorageProviders(IComponentContext c)
    {
        return CloudStorage
            .ForAzureConnectionString(AzureConnectionString)
            .WithDataSerializer(new SuperDuperJsonSerializer())
            .BuildStorageProviders();
    }
}

This module loads after the lokad cloud storage modules have loaded and I am attempting to override the runtime in Azure’s implementation of CloudStorageProviders with my own. Any guidance would help. Thank you.

Looking at the lokad source StorageModule:

builder.Register(BlobStorageProvider);
builder.Register(QueueStorageProvider).OnRelease(queues => queues.AbandonAll());
builder.Register(TableStorageProvider);
builder.Register(CloudStorageProviders).OnRelease(storage => storage.QueueStorage.AbandonAll());

In addition to the CloudStorageProviders type being registered, each of the specific providers (ITableStorageProvider, IBlobStorageProvider and IQueueStorageProvider) are also registered. You will have to register all these explicitly in order to fully overwrite the existing registrations.
