Ninject Dependency Binding to WCF Services Without XML Configuration - wcf

Question

I am trying to use the Ninject Dependency Injection to bind a callback method to WCF REST services runs in a kind of plugin module of a software system, which is NOT possible to use the SVC file or webconfig or app.config for any configuration.
The interface and implementation of the WCF services are defined as below:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string DoWork();
}
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single)]
public class Service1 : IService1
{
private IEventCallback EventCallback { get; set; }
public Service1(IEventCallback eventCallback)
{
EventCallback = eventCallback;
}
public string DoWork()
{
if (EventCallback != null)
{
EventCallback.Send("Testing Event ID");
}
return "Success";
}
}
where the IEventCallback and the corresponding implementation are defined as below:
public interface IEventCallback
{
void Send(string eventId);
}
public class EventCallback : IEventCallback
{
private Action<string> OnSendCustomEventCallBack { get; set; }
public EventCallback(Action<string> onSendCustomEventCallBack)
{
OnSendCustomEventCallBack = onSendCustomEventCallBack;
}
public void Send(string eventId)
{
if (OnSendCustomEventCallBack != null)
{
OnSendCustomEventCallBack(eventId);
}
}
}
The codes to create the REST Service are as below:
public AuthenticatedWebServiceHost(Type type, Uri url, string authenUsername, string authenPassword)
{
AuthenUsername = authenUsername;
AuthenPassword = authenPassword;
IDictionary<string, ContractDescription> desc;
InitializeDescription(type, new UriSchemeKeyedCollection());
base.CreateDescription(out desc);
var val = desc.Values.First();
var binding = new WebHttpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = WebHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Basic;
Credentials.UserNameAuthentication.UserNamePasswordValidationMode = UserNamePasswordValidationMode.Custom;
Credentials.UserNameAuthentication.CustomUserNamePasswordValidator =
new CustomUserNamePasswordValidator(AuthenUsername, AuthenPassword);
AddServiceEndpoint(val.ContractType, binding, url);
}
And, the AuthenticatedWebServiceHost is called as below:
var eventCallback = new EventCallback(OnSendCustomEventCallBack); // where OnSendCustomEventCallBack is a defined method
// How to write codes to use Ninject to inject the callback into the Service?
// kernel.Bind<IEventCallback>().To<??>()
_webServiceHost = new AuthenticatedWebServiceHost(typeof(Service1), new Uri("http://localhost:9000/Events"),
"admin", "password");
_webServiceHost.Open();
Since, no XML configuration is allowed in my case, how to write codes to use Ninject to bind the callback to the WCF Services?

Answer 1

I eventually figured out the solution by referencing Is it possible to instantiate a WebServiceHost via an instance of the service type, without a parameterless constructor? without using NInject.
