Extension Points

Introduction¶

Windsor does not try to support every scenario and every capability out of the box. Instead it exposes rich set of extension points that you can plug your own logic into to extend or modify how Windsor behaves.

Extension points¶

• SubSystems - innermost of Windsor's extension points. Very rarely extended/swapped.
• Facilities - primary extension point. They usually encompass one or more of extension points listed below.
• ComponentModel construction contributors - inspect or modify ComponentModel.
• Handler Selectors - custom logic overriding how components are selected. Often used in multi tenant applications.
• Model Interceptors Selectors - custom logic dynamically selecting interceptors for given component.
• Lazy Component Loaders - just in time component registration. Especially targeted at pulling component information from other frameworks, like MEF or WCF or resolving un-pre-registered concrete types.
• Lifecycle concerns - execute logic when component instance gets created / decommissioned.
• Lifestyle managers - control when object instances should be created / reused and when to end their lifetime.
• Component Activators - control how components are instantiated.
• Release Policy - handle tracking and releasing of components.
• Resolvers - override component resolution logic
• Container events - notify of events in the container
