ASP.NET MVC2 Routing Issue With StructureMap
- by alphadogg
So, in global.asax, I have:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute(" { *favicon }", new { favicon = @"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*robotstxt}", new { robotstxt = @"(.*/)?robots.txt(/.*)?" });
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
protected void Application_Start()
{
var container = new Container();
ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => new StructureMapServiceLocator(container));
ComponentRegistrar.Register(container);
Debug.WriteLine(container.WhatDoIHave());
// original MVC2 code at project startup
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
and in my StructureMapControllerFactory, I have:
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
if (requestContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("requestContext");
}
if (controllerType == null)
{
//return base.GetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType);
controllerType = GetControllerType(requestContext, "Home");
requestContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"] = "Home";
requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = "Index";
}
try
{
return theContainer.GetInstance(controllerType) as Controller;
}
catch (StructureMapException)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(theContainer.WhatDoIHave());
throw;
}
}
Now, normally, in most examples you find on the net, when controllerType is null, you have the commented out line (base.GetControllerInstance()) that handles it. However, if I use that, I get an error about not finding the controller for default.aspx when the controllerType is null at startup of the web app. If I force the use of the Home controller, I get the site to appear.
What am I doing wrong? Is it a problem in routing?
