Can be done differently the implementation of the DependencyScope?

Hi everyone, I am writing a new web api application using Windsor. I’ve always used Microsoft Unity and Autofac. Now I want to try Windsor. But something is not clear using Windsor. I have seen how everyone, all people, write the dependency resolver and the dependency scope. Honestly, I do not like that way… It seems muddler to me… but perhaps because I have not understood something… I try to explain what I mean talking about my experience with Unity and Autofac. The question I want to answer is: How do I start a new scope in “every” DI framework?

Microsoft Unity In the dependencyResolver, inside the BeginScope method, I creat a childContainer and I call recursively the resolver:

var child = container.CreateChildContainer();
return new UnityResolver(child);

In this way, every service resolved in the child container will have the scope of the child container. The scopes of the child containers are the classic scopes: Singleton, PerWebRequest, …

Autofac In the dependencyResolver, inside the BeginScope method, I create a dependencyScope object that take as parameter a LifeTimeScope. Then, I resolve everyting in the lifeTimeScope:

new AutoFacDependencyScope(_container.BeginLifetimeScope());

Here, how resolve the service(s) in the AutoFacDependencyScope: _lifetimeScope.TryResolve(serviceType, out instance);

As you can see, the services are resolved using the lifeTimeScope, not the container.

Windsor Surely you know better than me how to implement the dependency resolver and the dependency scope. Here I write how I have done. In the dependencyResolver, inside the BeginScope method, I create a dependencyScope object that take as parameter the SAME instance of the container I am using. Then, inside the dependencyScope i do a begin scope and I resolve the services in the container I passed from outside. It looks like nothing changed… I am resolving everything inside the main container just with the difference that before I have called a begin scope… perhaps that is enough to create everything with a scope… but it is not explicit… I am just supponsing…

Is it correct this way?

I have an open PR where I am trying to get this exact idea merged. You can see the implementation we are going for here. The PR is also #351.
