Can I tell Castle Windsor to create a component in a separate AppDomain?
- by Michael L Perry
I've created a multi-threaded service that uses Castle Windsor to create components to run on separate threads. I Resolve an component by name with parameters for each thread.
I'm running into concurrency problems with a 3rd party library used by the components. I suspect that isolating those components in separate AppDomains will resolve the problem.
Is there a way to have Resolve create the component using a different AppDomain?
private ActivityThread NewActivityThread(ActivityInstance activityInstance)
{
// Set up the creation arguments.
System.Collections.IDictionary arguments = new Dictionary<string, string>();
activityInstance.Parameters.ForEach(p => arguments.Add(p.Name, p.Value));
// Get the activity handler from the container.
IActivity activity = Program.Container.Resolve<IActivity>(activityInstance.Name, arguments);
// Create a thread for the activity.
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread(activity, activityInstance, _nextActivityID++);
return thread;
}
public ActivityThread(IActivity activity, ActivityInstance instance, int id)
{
_activity = activity;
_instance = instance;
_id = id;
}
public void Start()
{
if (_thread == null)
{
// Create a new thread to run this activity.
_thread = new Thread(delegate() { _activity.Run(); });
_thread.Name = _activity.ToString();
_thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
_thread.Start();
}
}
