Conventions

What

Sometimes you need to know which response type goes with a given request. For instance when implementing Interceptors.
The only place that you can know this for sure is in a RequestHandler<TRequest, TResponse> subclass, technically speaking, except when you have defined your conventions.

How

Defining those conventions is just a matter of implementing a simple interface:

	public interface IConventions
	    {
		Type GetResponseTypeFor(Request request);
	    }

And register your implementation in Agatha:

new ServiceLayerConfiguration(assembly, assembly, container)
	.Use<MyConventions>()	

We already created some conventions that you can use out of the box:

• BasicConventions
  • For each registered xxxxRequest, use xxxxResponse
• RequestHandlerBasedConventions
  • Will use each registered RequestHandler<TRequest, TResponse> to map a response type to a request type
