如何在使用Common Service Factory时初始化容器

Question

The Common Service Factory website specifies the following steps for its usage:

• Download the latest release of the Common Service Factory library
• Download the latest release of the Common Service Locator library and the adapter for the IoC container that you are using
• Add a reference to the CommonServiceFactory.dll, Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll and the assembly that contains the adapter for your IoC container
• Edit the .svc file for your service so that Service attribute contains the Assembly-Qualified Name of the service type
• In the .svc file, add the Factory attribute and provide the Assembly-Qualified Name of on of the factories that are available (ServiceHostFactory for SOAP services and WebServiceHostFactory for RESTful services) in the Common Service Factory library
• Configure your IoC and setup the Common Service Adapter
• Enjoy using loosely coupled dependencies in your WCF services using the IoC container you prefer

I just don't know where should I do the second to last step: Configure your IOC and setup the Common Service Adapter.

Does anyone has an example of how to use the Common Service Factory?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You typically setup your container in the startup path of your application. For a ASP.NET application for instance, this would typically be the Application_Start event. After you created the container, you wrap the container into a Common Service Locator adapter for the given container and supply it to the ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider of the CSL project and you're done.

This is how it looks like when using Simple Injector:

var adapter = 
    new SimpleInjectorServiceLocatorAdapter(container);

ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => adapter);
