Hi Craig, Thanks for that - I will give it a try ASAP. I thought it might be something like this - I noticed that when I forced a local resolution to occur, then a final 'ComponentRegistered' event was fired, which reported a 'closed generic' component... specialized to the generic argument (so in this case, IDecorator<IServiceNoDependencies>) - but it was not added to the list of 'registered components'. I dont know enough about Castle to comprehend what kind of lifecycle is going on under the hood - it would be ideal if the WCF facility was able to open hosts for these components without 'eager' resolution.
Thanks for the help Craig, Adam Langley Please consider the environment before printing this email!

The Wcf Facility waits for the service to be in the ready state before it opens the host. In this case, the container shows the ServiceGenericDependency component as waiting for the IDecorator dependency. It would be nice for the container to handle this properly. I have seen this before and added an option to open the service host eagerly. This will not wait for the component to be reported as valid before opening the host. In your example, it resolved the issue var wcfFacility=XXXX wcfFacility.Services.OpenServiceHostsEagerly = true; cheers, craig On May 7, 2011, at 1:24 AM, Adam Langley wrote: Dear Castle groups, I have a WCF service which has a single constructor dependency - this dependency is 'generically decorated'. i.e. its constructor looks like this: public ServiceGenericDependency(IDecorator<IServiceNoDependencies> arg2) { } My 'decorator' constructor looks like this: public Decorator(T arg) { } Castle has the typeof(IDecorator<>) registration, and the typeof(IServiceNoDependencies) registered. PROBLEM: The WCF Facility fails to create the server. IF I add a default constructor to my decorator class, then everything works. IF I resolve the WCF service on the server (as a local component, i.e. take WCFFacility out of the equation) then everything works. I have included a test program below - just reference WcfFacility + Castle. This is quite an urgent issue for me.
