Creating an Autofac Lifetimescope that will expire with time
I have a bank/collection which caches instances of objects in memory so that each request doesn't need to go back to the datastore. I'd like Autofac to provide an instance of this bank, but then expire it after x seconds, so that a new instance is created on the next request. I'm having trouble getting my head around setting up a LifetimeScope to achieve this. I've read through this a couple of times. The Bank object is not really subject to a unit of work. It will ideally reside 'above' all units of work, caching objects within and across them.
I'm currently using the approach below, however it isn't working as I'd hoped.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
....
builder.Register(c =>
{
return new ORMapBank(c.Resolve<IORMapRoot>());
}).InstancePerMatchingLifetimeScope(ExpireTimeTag.Tag());
IContainer container = builder.Build();
var TimedCache= RootScope.BeginLifetimeScope(ExpireTimeTag.Tag());
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(TimedCache));
....
public static class ExpireTimeTag
{
static DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
static Object tag = new Object();
public static object Tag()
{
if (d.AddSeconds(10) < DateTime.Now)
开发者_开发知识库 {
CreateTag();
return tag;
}
private static void CreateTag()
{
tag = new Object();
}
}
Thanks very much in advance.
It is common to use a caching decorator to achieve this kind of behaviour. Assuming your IORMapRoot
is responsible for getting the data in question (but it would work the same if ORMapBank
) you do the following:
- Create a new type,
CachingORMapRoot
that implementsIORMapRoot
- Add a constructor that takes the expiry
TimeSpan
and an instance of the originalIORMapRoot
implementation. - Implement the members to call the underlying instance and then cache the results accordingly for subsequent calls (implementation will vary on your cache technology).
- Register this type in the container as
IORMapRoot
This is a very clean way to implement such caching. It also makes it easy to switch between cached and non-cached implementations.
