+Using Middleware Factories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Some third-party bundles and libraries provide configurable middleware via
+factories. Using them requires a two-step configuration based on Symfony's
+:doc:`dependency injection </service_container>` features:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    services:
+
+        # Step 1: a factory class is registered as a service with the required
+        # dependencies to instantiate a middleware
+        doctrine.orm.messenger.middleware_factory.transaction:
+            class: Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Messenger\DoctrineTransactionMiddlewareFactory
+            arguments: ['@doctrine']
+
+        # Step 2: an abstract definition that will call the factory with default
+        # arguments or the one provided in the middleware config
+        messenger.middleware.doctrine_transaction_middleware:
+            class: Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Messenger\DoctrineTransactionMiddleware
+            factory: ['@doctrine.orm.messenger.middleware_factory.transaction', 'createMiddleware']
+            abstract: true
+            # the default arguments to use when none provided from config. Example:
+            # middleware:
+            #     - doctrine_transaction_middleware: ~
+            arguments: ['default']
+
+The "default" value in this example is the name of the entity manager to use,
+which is the argument expected by the
+``Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Messenger\DoctrineTransactionMiddlewareFactory::createMiddleware`` method.
+
+Then you can reference and configure the
+``messenger.middleware.doctrine_transaction_middleware`` service as a middleware:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
+
+        # config/packages/messenger.yaml
+        framework:
+            messenger:
+                buses:
+                    command_bus:
+                        middleware:
+                            # Using defaults:
+                            - doctrine_transaction_middleware
+                            # Using another entity manager:
+                            - doctrine_transaction_middleware: ['custom']
+
+    .. code-block:: xml

+                    </framework:bus>
+                </framework:messenger>
+            </framework:config>
+        </container>

+    .. code-block:: php

+            'messenger' => array(

+                    ),
+                ),
+            ),
+        ));
+
+.. note::
+
+    The ``doctrine_transaction_middleware`` shortcut is a convention. The real
+    service id is prefixed with the ``messenger.middleware.`` namespace.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Middleware factories only allow scalar and array arguments in config (no
+    references to other services). For most advanced use-cases, register a
+    concrete definition of the middleware manually and use its id.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    The ``doctrine_transaction_middleware`` is a built-in middleware wired
+    automatically when the DoctrineBundle and the Messenger component are
+    installed and enabled.
