How to inject a repository into a service in Symfony?

Question

I need to inject two objects into ImageService. One of them is an instance of Repository/ImageRepository, which I get like this:

$image_repository = $container->get('doctrine.odm.mongodb')     ->getRepository('MycompanyMainBundle:Image'); 

So how do I declare that in my services.yml? Here is the service:

namespace Mycompany\MainBundle\Service\Image;  use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentRepository;  class ImageManager {     private $manipulator;     private $repository;      public function __construct(ImageManipulatorInterface $manipulator, DocumentRepository $repository) {         $this->manipulator = $manipulator;         $this->repository = $repository;     }      public function findAll() {         return $this->repository->findAll();     }      public function createThumbnail(ImageInterface $image) {         return $this->manipulator->resize($image->source(), 300, 200);     } }

Here is a cleaned up solution for those coming from Google like me:

Update: here is the Symfony 2.6 (and up) solution:

services:      myrepository:         class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository         factory: ["@doctrine.orm.entity_manager", getRepository]         arguments:             - MyBundle\Entity\MyClass      myservice:         class: MyBundle\Service\MyService         arguments:             - "@myrepository" 

---

Deprecated solution (Symfony 2.5 and less):

services:      myrepository:         class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository         factory_service: doctrine.orm.entity_manager         factory_method: getRepository         arguments:             - MyBundle\Entity\MyClass      myservice:         class: MyBundle\Service\MyService         arguments:             - "@myrepository"

I found this link and this worked for me:

parameters:     image_repository.class:            Mycompany\MainBundle\Repository\ImageRepository     image_repository.factory_argument: 'MycompanyMainBundle:Image'     image_manager.class:               Mycompany\MainBundle\Service\Image\ImageManager     image_manipulator.class:           Mycompany\MainBundle\Service\Image\ImageManipulator  services:     image_manager:         class: %image_manager.class%         arguments:           - @image_manipulator           - @image_repository      image_repository:         class:           %image_repository.class%         factory_service: doctrine.odm.mongodb         factory_method:  getRepository         arguments:             - %image_repository.factory_argument%      image_manipulator:         class: %image_manipulator.class%
