Question

I am following this excellent article in order to create my own attribute in the mvc.net framework v2 .
The Author , Simone Chiaretta, uses Ninject to inject dependency within an ActionFilter using the attribute [Inject] over the dependencies he has in his class.

I would like to know if the same kind of technics might be used with structuremap.

I hope to have given enough details, if not please ask.. 😉

yours,

UPDATE 1:

Here is some code to enlighten a bit my problem

public class GreetingAttribute :
ActionFilterAttribute,
ISuperActionFilter,IGreetingAttribute
{
    **[Inject]**
    public IGestioneUtenti _service { get; set; }

    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        _service.Elenca();
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }

    public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
    {
        ViewResult result = filterContext.Result as ViewResult;
        _service.Elenca();

        if (result != null)
        {
            result.ViewData["Title"] += " - " ;
        }
    }
}

I would have loved to be able to have this [Inject] attribute. So that my InvokeActionMethodWithFilters would have looked like this :

protected override ActionExecutedContext InvokeActionMethodWithFilters(
    ControllerContext controllerContext, IList<IActionFilter> filters,
    ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor, IDictionary<string, object> parameters) 
{
    foreach (IActionFilter actionFilter in filters)
    {
        ISuperActionFilter superActionFilter = 
            actionFilter as ISuperActionFilter;
        if (superActionFilter != null)
        {
            ObjectFactory.DoInjectionForMarkedAttribute(actionFilter);
        }

    }
    return base.InvokeActionMethodWithFilters(
        controllerContext, filters, actionDescriptor, parameters); 
}

Below my final implementation in an answer.

Answer 1

The SetterProperty attribute is equivalent to Ninject’s Inject.

Also, take a look at this blog post: http://codebetter.com/jeremymiller/2008/10/09/setter-injection-in-structuremap-2-5/ for more details on setter injection in Structuremap. Unfortunately Some of the examples use an older syntax , but all the ideas apply.
