I mentioned somewhere that I had to change the StructureMap ObjectBuilder a tiny bit to be able to upgrade and make use of the new API goodness that Jeremy and Joshua had created.

It’s all really simple, I just lifted out the whole project “x:\NServiceBus\src\impl\ObjectBuilder\ObjectBuilder.StructureMap” and made that project a part of my own solution file. I probably don’t have to do that but I did not want to risk accidently overwriting or deleting my changes.

There are only two steps necessary:

1. Upgrade StructureMap.dll to the newest version (currently 2.6.1)
2. Inside StructureMapObjectBuilder.cs replace:

configuredInstance = x.ForRequestedType(component)
	.CacheBy(scope)
	.TheDefaultIsConcreteType(component);

with the following

configuredInstance = x.For(component)
		.LifecycleIs(scope)
		.Use(component);

It’s not even  necessary to do this change, a simple replace of the StructureMap.dll in the external-bin folder of the NServiceBus source code should do the trick. It’s been ages ago since I submitted the patch for this but it did not make the 2.0. Starting from the trunk onwards the upgrade should not be necessary.

Now it’s bed time since hours ago :)
