How to use Simple Injector with svc-less service implementations

Question

I'm considering switching from Autofac to Simple Injector due to seemingly better decorator support. But I'm very fond of the way you register and host svc-less WCF services with Autofac and I can't find a way to do exactly that with Simpleinjector.

For instance, with Autofac it works like this (in Application_Start):

During container build:

builder.RegisterType<SomeService>().As<ISomeService>();

After the container has been constructed:

RouteTable.Routes.Add(
    new ServiceRoute("", new AutofacServiceHostFactory(), typeof(ISomeService)))

Please note the empty-string routePrefix in the ServiceRoute in order to achieve rest-style service-endpoints without an actual service-name in the url.

Is there an equivalent to this in Simple Injector?

Answer 1

Just use:

SimpleInjectorServiceHostFactory.SetContainer(container);

RouteTable.Routes.Add(
    new ServiceRoute("", 
        new SimpleInjectorServiceHostFactory(),
        typeof(ISomeService)));
