Question

is it possible to use Castle Windsor with WCF services ?

I tried to use it and instead going to the contractor with parameters I see that it goes to the default contractor and I am curious why it is doing so ?

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            dm = new DependencyManager(HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath, "API");
            dm.Container.Install(new Installer());

        }

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes you can but your question is a little vague. Are you trying to start a service or are you trying to inject a client proxy? Can you show an example of what you have done?

EDIT

To start a new wcf service you will need to use the WcfFacility. You are using an installer which you don’t show so you may already be wiiring up the facility in there.

container.AddFacility<WcfFacility>()

Once you have registered all your components you can start the service with the DefaultServiceHostFactory which is included in the WCF facility.

var host = (ServiceHost)new DefaultServiceHostFactory().CreateServiceHost(typeof(YourService).AssemblyQualifiedName, new Uri[] { });
host.Open();
