PerRequestLifetimeManager can only be used in the context of an HTTP request

Question

I have a MVC application that uses Unity as its IoC container and have multiple services defined in my application using the PerRequestLifetimeManager.

Answer 1

I would suggest you to have 2 separate containers, with different configuration, for the web environment and for the background environment. So, for your web environment, you can control the lifetime per request and in a background task you can do it per thread.

As you are using service locator, you could have 2 locators, like WebServiceLocator.Resolve<> and BackgroundServiceLocator.Resolve<>
