Second instance of MvcApplication

Question

I am trying to implement MembershipProvider with IoC described in this article: http://bugsquash.blogspot.cz/2010/11/windsor-managed-membershipproviders.html

But I have some problems with my MvcApplication class which is implementing IContainerAccessor. But when I am trying to access the container by following code in MyMembershipProvider the container is null reference.

(HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance as IContainerAccessor).Container

I found that there is second instance of MvcApplication which method Application_Start() was not called. Therefore no instance was set to Container property.

Why there is second instance of MvcApplication class? I thought that there will be only one instance. And how come that Application_Start() was not called?

I am using .net4 and mvc3.

Your container is probably not static. See http://hammett.castleproject.org/?p=233 — Mauricio Scheffer, Jul 18 '12 at 02:30
I believe it should not be static if there will be only one instance of MvcApplication class. — Lukas Pirkl, Jul 18 '12 at 06:10
I found information about instances of HttpApplication class and you are right. It mast be static. Thanks. — Lukas Pirkl, Jul 18 '12 at 14:35
