Question

How do I register something like this in the xml configuration (i know, i know, convention over config, but I’m supporting legacy code, so i need to do it in the xml config).

Specifically, I’m unclear on how to register AssignTechniciansFactory with the abstract base class AND the interface type. Normally, i get how to do it for either a base class OR just the interface. But how about registering both to the component?

public class AssignTechniciansFactory: 
         BaseAssignTechniciansFactory<Service>, IAssignTechniciansFactory

Where:

public class Service : BaseAssignTechnician

And:

public abstract class BaseAssignTechniciansFactory<T> 
                         where T: BaseAssignTechnician

This is what I have, and I know it’s not correct:

<component id="assignTechniciansFactory"
           service="MyNamespace.IAssignTechniciansFactory, MyAssembly" 
           type="MyNamespace.AssignTechniciansFactory, MyAssembly">
   <parameters>
     <dmq>${dmq}</dmq>
     <builder>${builder}</builder>
   </parameters>
</component>

In addition to what @adymitruk said, you can specify additional services for a component via forwardedTypes element in XML configuration.
