IoC: Castle Windsor and WebAPI

Question

I have an MVC4 site using Castle Windsor that I want to add some WebAPI calls to, so I start digging around a little bit on the interwebs.

Now I don\'t know the ins

Answer 1

First as Iko stated you need to create a class that implements IHttpControllerActivator.

Then in ContainerBootstrapper in Bootstrap() add the following Replace the default with the one implemented:

 //This will help in creating Web api with Dependency injection
 GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(
 typeof(IHttpControllerActivator),
 new WindsorCompositionRoot(container));

Lastly which is not mentioned here and it didn't work for me without it that you should add the following in you implemented IWindsorInstaller service inside install() :

container.Register(
    Classes.FromThisAssembly()
    .BasedOn()
    .LifestyleTransient()    
);
