Unity：没有为此对象定义无参数构造函数。

Question

Below code is to Initialize Dependency Injection Container in application global.asax

IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainerFactory().CreateConfiguredContainer();
var serviceLocator = new UnityServiceLocator(container);
ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => serviceLocator);
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new UnityDependencyResolver(container));

But application is always failing with parameter less constructor exception for HomeController, below is the exception.

Resolution of the dependency failed, type = "MyApp.Web.Controllers.HomeController", name = "(none)". Exception occurred while: while resolving.

Exception is: InvalidOperationException - The current type, Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.IServiceLocator, is an interface and cannot be constructed. Are you missing a type mapping?

At the time of the exception, the container was:

Resolving MyApp.Web.Controllers.HomeController,(none) Resolving parameter "serviceLocator" of constructor MyApp.Web.Controllers.HomeController(Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.IServiceLocator serviceLocator) Resolving Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.IServiceLocator,(none)

Below is the inner exception of the exception.

Microsoft.Practices.Unity 2.0.414.0 has been used. What is the issue with implementation, am I missing something?

Answer 1

You need to register all interfaces your controller relies on. In this case

HomeController(Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.IServiceLocator serviceLocator) {...}

Means you need to have line like

container.RegisterType<IServiceLocator, SomeServiceLocatorImpl>();

Note that it is generally better practice to depend on required interfaces instead on IServiceLocator - How to avoid Service Locator Anti-Pattern?

Answer 2

Your constructor presumably has the following signature

public class HomeController : Controller
{
  public HomeController( IServiceLocator locator )
  {
      ...

Unity follows the signature and tries to find a concrete type mapped to the interface, registered in your container. But there is none.

What you do however, is a mistake. You should be injecting actual dependencies to services / business objects, not to the infrastructure class a service locator is.

 public HomeController( ISomeService service, IAnotherService another )

Unity would resolve these, assuming you first map abstractions to concrete types.
