Web API, odata v4 and Castle Windsor - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have WebApi project with ODataController and I'm trying to inject some dependency into MyController. I was following this blogpost by Mark Seemann.
Consider code below.
Problem is, that when is MyController creating, I got exception inside WindsorCompositionRoot Create method on this line,
var controller = (IHttpController)this.container.Resolve(controllerType);
An exception of type 'Castle.MicroKernel.ComponentNotFoundException'
occurred in Castle.Windsor.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: No component for supporting the service
System.Web.OData.MetadataController was found
Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you.
My controller:
public class MyController : ODataController
{
private readonly DataLayer _db;
public PrepravyController(DataLayer db)
{
_db = db;
}
}
CompositonRoot:
public class WindsorCompositionRoot : IHttpControllerActivator
{
private readonly IWindsorContainer container;
public WindsorCompositionRoot(IWindsorContainer container)
{
this.container = container;
}
public IHttpController Create(
HttpRequestMessage request,
HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor,
Type controllerType)
{
var controller =
(IHttpController)this.container.Resolve(controllerType);
request.RegisterForDispose(
new Release(
() => this.container.Release(controller)));
return controller;
}
private class Release : IDisposable
{
private readonly Action release;
public Release(Action release)
{
this.release = release;
}
public void Dispose()
{
this.release();
}
}
}
Global asax:
var container = new WindsorContainer();
container.Install(new RepositoriesInstaller());
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(typeof(IHttpControllerActivator), new WindsorCompositionRoot(container));
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);

Make sure you're registering all your controllers with the container:
public class ControllerInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.Register(Classes.FromThisAssembly().BasedOn<IController>().LifestylePerWebRequest())
.Register(Classes.FromThisAssembly().BasedOn<ApiController>().LifestylePerWebRequest());
}
}
Windsor uses installers to encapsulate and partition registration logic. It also includes a helper called FromAssembly, so you don't need to manually instantiate all your installers:
_container = new WindsorContainer();
_container.Install(FromAssembly.This());
