WCFFacility and WVF 4.0 REST - wcf

Question

How do you use the Windsor-Castle WCFFacility with the WCF 4.0 REST services ?
How you you make the link to the factory, when you don't have the .svc file anymore?
TIA

Answer 1

Using Windsor 3.0 this is pretty straightforward (if I have understood your question correctly, my apologies if I am missing something).
The simplest thing to do to show you is to create a console application and make sure you are referencing:
Castle.Core
Castle.Windsor
Castle.Facilities.WcfIntegration
System.ServiceModel
System.ServiceModel.Web
System.Runtime.Serialization
Now define a RESTful service like this:
[DataContract]
public class Frob
{
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Fribble { get; set; }
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface IFrobService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/")]
IEnumerable<Frob> GetAllFrobs();
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/{name}")]
Frob GetFrobByName(string name);
}
public class FrobService : IFrobService
{
private readonly List<Frob> _frobs
= new List<Frob>
{
new Frob {Name = "Foob", Fribble = "Soop"},
new Frob {Name = "Hoob", Fribble = "Soop"},
new Frob {Name = "Doob", Fribble = "Noop"}
};
public IEnumerable<Frob> GetAllFrobs()
{
return _frobs;
}
public Frob GetFrobByName(string name)
{
return _frobs
.FirstOrDefault(f =>
f.Name.Equals(name,
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
}
}
Now you have that you can hook up that service into the windsor container like so (and since it is a console application, I will just show you the main method):
public static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var container = new WindsorContainer();
container
.AddFacility<WcfFacility>(f => f.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.Zero)
.Register(Component.For<IFrobService>()
.ImplementedBy<FrobService>()
.AsWcfService(new RestServiceModel("http://localhost/frobs")));
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
And that is a WCF REST service hosted by Castle Windsor.
Pointing a browser at: "http://localhost/frobs" will get you all the frobs and pointing a browser at, say, "http://localhost/frobs/Doob" will get you the frob called Doob, you get the idea...
