ASP Web Api - IoC - Resolve HttpRequestMessage

Question

I am trying to set up Castle Windsor with ASP.NET WebAPI.

I am also using the Hyprlinkr package (https://github.com/ploeh/Hyprlinkr) and so need an instance of HttpR

Answer 1

Why not to use already built-in mechanism in ASP.NET Web API - Dependency resolver

http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/extensibility/using-the-web-api-dependency-resolver

In project WebApiContrib there is CastleWindsor resolver implementation, but as I've seen with Dependency resolver

https://github.com/WebApiContrib/WebApiContrib.IoC.CastleWindsor

And as Mark said in comment - one of the ways to implement IHttpControllerActivator
