How can I register a generic decorator using Castle Windsor?

by

currently this is not supported OOTB due to the fact that Windsor always favours mode specific component over an open-generic.

You can get that working quite easily with an ISubDependencyResolver though. The code below assumes you name the component for your decorator "DeadlockRetryCommandHandlerDecorator"

public class CommandHandlerResolver : ISubDependencyResolver
{
    private readonly IKernel kernel;

    public FooResolver(IKernel kernel)
    {
        this.kernel = kernel;
    }

    public bool CanResolve(CreationContext context, ISubDependencyResolver contextHandlerResolver, ComponentModel model, DependencyModel dependency)
    {
        return (dependency.TargetType.IsGenericType &&
                dependency.TargetType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof (ICommandHandler<>)) &&
                (model.Implementation.IsGenericType == false ||
                model.Implementation.GetGenericTypeDefinition() != typeof (DeadlockRetryCommandHandlerDecorator<>));
    }

    public object Resolve(CreationContext context, ISubDependencyResolver contextHandlerResolver, ComponentModel model, DependencyModel dependency)
    {
        return kernel.Resolve("DeadlockRetryCommandHandlerDecorator", dependency.TargetItemType);
    }
}

The recommended way of achieving scenarios like that with Windsor however is by using interceptors.
