ASP.NET MVC Generic Controllers and Spring.NET
- by Jason
Hello,
I am creating an application using ASP.NET MVC (2) and Spring.NET.
Since most of my Controller implementations just implement the similar CRUD operations, I would like to just create a single Generic controller, as explained here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/848904/in-asp-net-mvc-is-it-possible-to-make-a-generic-controller
However, the above example doesn't take DI frameworks into consideration.
What I'm thinking is to create this (warning: this is an ugly mass of code I need help with):
public SpringGenericControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory {
public IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName) {
// Determine the controller type to return
Type controllerType = Type.GetType("MyController").MakeGenericType(Type.GetType(controllerName));
// Return the controller
return Activator.CreateInstance(controllerType) as IController;
}
}
The entries in objects.xml would look something like this:
<object id="controllerFactory" type="Application.Controllers.SpringGenericControllerFactory" />
<object id="DepartmentController" factory-method="CreateController" factory-object="controllerFactory" />
Can anyone pick through this and offer advice?
