9.16 Facilities XML Configuration

Facilities are defined by tag <facility /> within <facilities /> section.

Default facility configuration

By default only two attributes must be defined to register facility via XML:

<facilities>
  <facility
    id="event.wiring"
    type="Castle.Facilities.EventWiring.EventWiringFacility, Castle.Windsor" />
</facilities>

The id attribute is the unique identified for the facility, while type is the type implementing it.

:warning: Facilities must have public default constructor: When facilities are instantiated by Windsor, they must have public default constructor. Otherwise an exception will be thrown.

:information_source: Additional configuration: Facilities often provide additional configuration over the default shown here. They often also extend the configuration of components. For details see the documentation of specific facilities.
