Auto proxy in hierarchical context

[key]

Hi all.

I have a question about configuring auto proxy in hierarchical context.

I made up two definition files, "AutoProxy.xml" and "MyObject.xml".

"AutoProxy.xml" contains definition for my auto proxy creator.
"MyObject.xml" is for the target object.

They worked when I put them all in the root context. However, it doesn't work once I move the target object's definition to child context.
I mean something like this:

<context>
<resource uri="AutoProxy.xml"/>

<context name="MyContext">
<resource uri="MyObject.xml"/>
</context>
</context>

The container doesn't seem to try to create a proxy for my target object. I have to move "AutoProxy.xml" to the child context as well to make it works correctly.

Is this expected behavior or am I something wrong?
I use version 1.1.0 P3 on .NET Framework 2.0.

Hi,

That is the expected behavior. The autoproxy creator only applies to objects in the same context, not objects in child or parent contexts. If you have a case for different behavior we can consider it for inclusion in a future release. I've updated the AOP docs (sect 12.8) to mention this.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi, Mark.

If that's the way it is, I'll follow it.

Thank you for your reply.
