Appropriate lifecycle for repository classes using Castle Windsor

Question

When I started with Windsor I thought DI would be simple. Now it\'s causing me more and more confusion.

A repository strikes me as a class with a singleton lifecycle

Answer 1

Rule of thumb is - component should not depend on other components that will outlive it.

In other words, it's ok for transient to depend on singleton, or per-web-request component, but not the other way around.

The way I approach Repository - UoW scenario is my UoW is per web request, but repositories are stateless and transient.
