I have the need to extend Service/IService to allow me to register additional resources like other DB connections and custom classes that each individual service may need to get a handle to.
Is the proper way to do this to subclass Service? Also, it is not clear to me if I have another (say) IDbConnection how Funq figures out which Property to inject the value into.
If you have multiple services with the same type you need to register them in funq with a name. Unfortunatly I don't think funq can autowire the properties correctly so you need to manually resolve them.
container.Register<DataContext>("Security", x => new SecurityDataContext());
container.Register<DataContext>("Customers", x => new CustomersDataContext());
container.Register<DataContext>("Reporting", x => new ReportingDataContext());
container.Register<IReportRepository>(x => new ReportRepositoryImpl(x.ResolveNamed<DataContext>("Reporting")));
An alternative approach would be to create a unique interface (even if it has no members) for each type and then use that in funq. This would allow autowiring
container.Register<ISecurityDataContext>(x => new SecurityDataContext());
container.Register<ICustomersDataContext>(x => new CustomersDataContext());
container.Register<IReportingDataContext>(x => new ReportingDataContext());
// this could just be autowired
container.Register<IReportRepository>(x => new ReportRepositoryImpl(x.Resolve<IReportingDataContext>()));
If you still really need to extend Service you can just use standard inheritance in c#
public abstract class BaseService : Service
{
// custom things go here
public string Example() {
return "Hello World";
}
}
public class ReportsService : BaseService
{
public string Get(ListReports request) {
return Example();
}
}
You can configure other DB connections easily without extending the Service , but by just wiring them in the configure method in the AppHost.cs file.
