Structuremap does not work on MVC4


I've used StructureMap in MVC2/3 many times without any concern, but I guess handling IoC is different in MVC4. When i used StructureMap for handling IoC in MVC4 I get the following exception.:

No parameterless constructor defined for this object

Why? I have not found any correct result in google except this: IoC Not Working In MVC4 These is my IoC classes:

public static class IoC {
    public static IContainer Initialize() {
        ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
                    {
                        x.Scan(scan =>
                        {
                            //scan.Assembly("DLL.Core");
                            scan.Assembly("DLL.CMS");
                            scan.TheCallingAssembly();
                            scan.WithDefaultConventions();
                        });
                        x.For<IDbContext>().Use<ModelEntities>();
                        x.For(typeof(IRepository<>)).Use(typeof(Repository<>));
                        x.For<IHttpControllerActivator>();
                        x.For<IController>();
                    });

        return ObjectFactory.Container;
    }

And SmDependencyResolver is:

    public class SmDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
{
    private readonly IContainer _container;

    public SmDependencyResolver(IContainer container)
    {
        _container = container;
    }

    public object GetService(Type serviceType)
    {
        if (serviceType == null) return null;
        try
        {
            return serviceType.IsAbstract || serviceType.IsInterface
                     ? _container.TryGetInstance(serviceType)
                     : _container.GetInstance(serviceType);
        }
        catch
        {

            return null;
        }
    }

    public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
    {
        return _container.GetAllInstances(serviceType).Cast<object>();
    }
}

And my error is:

Thanks for correct answers.


Solution

  • oops.I found an emergency solution :) Try to implement a class from IControllerActivator

    public class StructureMapControllerActivator : IControllerActivator
    {
       private IContainer _container;
        
       public StructureMapControllerActivator(IContainer container)
       {
           _container = container;
       }
        
       public IController Create(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
       {
           return _container.GetInstance(controllerType) as IController;
       }
    }
    

    and then register it to the IoC class:

     x.For<IControllerActivator>().Use<StructureMapControllerActivator>();
    

    and then enjoy it. Good luck
