ServiceStack - Manually register services

[Yavor Shahpasov]

I have an assembly with a lot of services.

I would like to select a number of web services to expose.
Currently the AppHost only accepts an Assembly and automatically
registers all the services.

You can register services manually in your AppHost with:

this.RegisterService<MyService>("/atpath");

Which uses this extension method:

Hi Demis,

This seems to work.

However I still need to pass an assembly to the constructor or I get an exception.

If I don't call the base method the register service does not work.

I've managed to work around this problem by supplying an allembly with a dummy service, but if there is a better way it would be great.

public AppHost() 

            : base("Web Services")

        {

            this.RegisterService(typeof(Service1));

            this.RegisterService<Service2>();

        }

        

        

        System.ArgumentException was unhandled by user code

  Message=No Assemblies provided in your AppHost's base constructor.

To register your services, please provide the assemblies where your web services are defined.

Yes, the assembly of services is expected since that's how its supposed to work. 

Just pass in a dummy assembly.
