Unity: No parameterless constructor defined for this object - unity-container

Is there a simple way of finding out what 'this object' is?

Usually Unity provides you some more detailed information in an inner exception of the ResolutionFailedException that hits your app.

Managing Facebook object within a Controller

This is a more general Spring question that isn't necessarily a Spring Social Facebook issue; however, I'm asking the question here because it is not clear to me how Spring is managing the Facebook reference that is passed into the controller constructor.
I'm running this in a Spring boot app, version 1.5.3.RELEASE.
I've googled around and have read many things about how scoped-proxies work and whether the Controller is a singleton and such; but something is still not clear to me with this particular use case. My concern is over whether or not two or more simultaneous request will cause one reference to interfere with the other. It seems to me that there will be a conflict regardless of the scoped-proxy solution. To address this concern, I injected a Facebook and ConnectionRepository object into the controller constructor wrapped in a Provider class.
#Inject
public CopyGroupController(
Provider<Facebook> facebook,
Provider<ConnectionRepository> connectionRepository) {
It appears to have injected meaningful data; but when attempting to run this code:
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
ConnectionRepository repo = connectionRepository.get();
this.userManager.createOrGetUser(
repo.findPrimaryConnection(Facebook.class));
}
This failure occurs:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.
This creates more uncertainty because I thought the FacebookTemplate was being managed as a request or session scoped bean and that it would Inject as a Provider so the object would reside on ThreadLocale; so two or more concurrent requests will not conflict. Passing a request scoped bean in a controller singleton constructor doesn't make any sense to me either. So I'm puzzled as to why a user specific reference would even be passed into a constructor that should only be called once.
I've tried setting breakpoints in the constructor to verify whether or not there is a conflict; but The same error as above would occur. Could someone please explain to me whether or not this is an issue and if so; how is the best, most modern way to resolve it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
You have to register a RequestContextListener

Exception handling in class library. Is it necessary?

I have a class library project which i am referencing in my asp.net web forms project.
Whenever any exception happens, i want to log it. But, I am not doing any exception handling in any of the class library method. That is i have not used try-cath block in any of the methods in the class library.
Because, any excepyion that gets thrown from class library methods is caught in my presentation layer/business layer(wherever i call the functions of the class library) and proper logging is done here in the web forms project.
Is it correct to do this way.?
Its Ok to write that way, but in that case your Class Library will throw exception which system exception message, which might be sometime difficult to interpret and act accordingly.
Instead you can have Try-Catch-Finally block in class library, and Re-throw exception with user defined message to calling method, this will help in tracing issue.
Example :
Catch(FileNotFoundException Ex)
{
throw new ("File Not Found at XYZ Location, Please Check File Exist and retry ...")
}
Centralized Exception Logging:
There are multiple ways you can log error messages. One of the good way would be to use Enterprise Library Exception Block to Log error to file, which can be used in debugging issues.
This article can come handy for Enterprise Library:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649140.aspx
You can log exception centrally to CSV, XML or even to windows Event Viewer.
Create Separate class / project to perform all exception logging in project.
Seems like a reasonable approach to me. Delegating the exception logging to the application keeps your class library abstract meaning it can be reused without having a dependency on the logging library/framework.
Logging should be the responsibility of the application, not the component. There may be some exceptional circumstances where trace-level debugging is required at component level, for those special cases having a log-enabled version of the lib that you could swap in might come in handy. However, I would argue that a properly tested component would reduce the need for that.

Handling ClientBase faults and SimpleIOC

I am using SimpleIOC from mvvm-light along with the ViewModelLocator class / pattern provided to provide ViewModels with the correct dependencies injected. The problem I have is that the dependency that is being injected in to my ViewModel is a WCF ClientBase instance that can "break" if it encounters a fault. One example would be if the service it is trying to connect to doesn't exist it will cause a fault. I don't know how to handle this properly. Once the ClientBase derived class is in a fault state it will no longer work. The ViewModelLocator keeps injecting this broken instance of my service proxy so even if this service becomes accessible the proxy will error out when used because it can't recover from a faulted state. How should I deal with this?
I was able to figure this one out on my own. The answer was to create a wrapper around the ClientBase proxy class so that when a call created a fault, the wrapper class could properly handle the exception yet still be ready to handle the next call.

Should my custom RoleProvider throw an exception in AddUsersToRoles?

I'm implementing a custom ASP.NET role provider, and I'm wondering whether its AddUsersToRoles method should throw a ProviderException if a user passed in is already in a role passed in. The default Microsoft SQL Server role provider SqlRoleProvider exhibits this behaviour, even though the official Microsoft documentation doesn't recommend it:
Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The user 'myTestUser' is already in role 'myTestRole'.
I think it would be useful for my provider not to throw an exception in this case but just to move on when a given user is already in a given role; that way the calling code doesn't need to worry about duplicates. But could there be existing role provider-using code that relies on an exception being thrown in this case? If there is, should it be doing so given that Microsoft themselves don't seem to recommend it?
If I do want to implement a method similar to AddUsersToRoles that doesn't throw an exception when a user is already in a role, I can see 3 alternatives:
Implement it as AddUsersToRoles and just have different behaviour from the default SqlRoleProvider.
Implement it as a new EnsureUsersInRoles method in my role provider class, and access it from my calling code using ((MyProvider)(Roles.Provider)).EnsureUsersInRoles().
Just implement it in a totally separate class.
Personally, I'd conform to what Microsoft does. It would be hard to rule out the possibility that something somewhere does require that exception to be thrown.
I ended up going down route 2) that I proposed in my question; I implement a RoleProvider with some additional methods as well, and then use the cast ((MyProvider)(Roles.Provider)) to get access to my additional methods, one of which is EnsureUsersInRoles(), which has the non-Exception-throwing functionality that my calling code wants.

Handling Exceptions that happen in a asp.net MVC Controller Constructor

What's the best way to handle exceptions that happen from within a controller's constructor?
All I can think of to do is use Application_OnError() or put a try/catch in my ControllerFactory.
Neither of these solutions seem ideal. Application_OnError is to broad - I have some non-mvc content in the site that has its own error handling.
Using a try/catch block seems kinda hacky.
If I'm serving different content type -html/text/json/rss.... I would like to be able to handle the exception from within the action method instead of having to write all kinds of conditions to determine what kind of error message to serve.
Am I missing something here, or has anyone else dealt with this?
If an exception is happening in your ControllerFactory when creating the controller in the first place, there's no way you can ever handle the exception in an action method.
Personally I would just do a try/catch, instantiate some error handling controller, and route the request through it instead.
A better question is - what are your controllers so dependent on that isn't being met that they have to throw exceptions when they're being constructed? Ostensibly, simply creating the controllers shouldn't be a huge source of exceptions. If they are, maybe you could look at lazily instantiating the dependencies in the action methods (rather than the constructor), and implementing an ErrorHandlingController approach. This would push the exceptions "down" into the controllers themselves, so you could take a more controller-centered approach to handling them.
