Web API with Windows Service and MEF

I have created a web api project and run as a windows service.
I have added MEF to load a dll (LibOne.dll) and use it in the controller (ValueController). But unable to get the values in the imported interface.
I followed this link to implement this and added MefDependencyResolver in my web api project.
How to integrate MEF with ASP.NET MVC 4 and ASP.NET Web API
in the values controller the IMyClass is returning always null. How to resolve this?
Is there anything I am mising?
Here is my Web Api Controller
[Export(typeof(ValuesController))]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
[Import(typeof(IMyClass))]
private IMyClass Myclass { get; set; }
public String GetString(Int32 id)
{
return Myclass.GetValues();
}
}
SelfHosted Service to run the web api as windows service
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:8080");
Thread.Sleep(10000);
MefConfig.RegisterMef(config);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "API",
routeTemplate: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
HttpSelfHostServer server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config);
server.OpenAsync().Wait();
}
MEF registration
public static void RegisterMef(HttpConfiguration config)
{
var assemblyCatalog = new AggregateCatalog();
assemblyCatalog.Catalogs.Add(new DirectoryCatalog(#""));
var container = new CompositionContainer(assemblyCatalog);
var resolver = new MefDependencyResolver(container);
config.DependencyResolver = resolver;
}
Exporting this class from LibOne.dll

Adding Unity to MVC WebApi app

I am just trying to get a repository to work in the web api but i keep getting

this error. I have seen a few posts about this. I have tried them and still cannot get this to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your AddressSearchController should have a default constructor, or if you have no default / parameterless constructor, then please pass interfaces instead of concrete classes in AddressSearchController.
I believe you may have such a scenario:
public class AddressSearchController : ApiController
{
public AddressSearchController(SomeClassParameter obj)
{
//some code
}
}
What you want actually is ether this:
public class AddressSearchController : ApiController
{
public AddressSearchController() // add default ctor
{
}
public AddressSearchController(SomeClassParameter obj)
{
//some code
}
}
or this:
Register the interface ISomeClassParameter for type SomeClassParameter in Unity
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
UnityConfig.RegisterComponents(); // <----- Add this line
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
Register component:
container.RegisterType<ISomeClassParameter , SomeClassParameter >();
and do constructor injection :
public class AddressSearchController : ApiController
{
public AddressSearchController(ISomeClassParameter obj)
{
//some code
}
}
Also, make sure you have the WebApi version of Unity
I tried it out, it worked for me:

ASP.NET MVC with WEB.API and Castle Windsor container

I have ASP.NET MVC application with integrated Castle Windsor container. When I added ApiController, and tried to do POST, I got an error message: "Make Sure That the controller has a parameterless public constructor." Thanks for any advice.
Castle Windsor integration:
public class CastleControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
public IWindsorContainer Container { get; protected set; }
public CastleControllerFactory(IWindsorContainer container)
{
if (container == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException("container");
}
this.Container = container;
}
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
if (controllerType == null)
{
return null;
}
return Container.Resolve(controllerType) as IController;
}
public override void ReleaseController(IController controller)
{
var disposableController = controller as IDisposable;
if (disposableController != null)
{
disposableController.Dispose();
}
Container.Release(controller);
}
}
public class DefaultCastleInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.AddFacility<TypedFactoryFacility>();
//Functions
//container.Register(Component.For<IGetIPAddressesFromRange>().ImplementedBy<GetIPAddressesFromRange>().LifestylePerWebRequest());
container.Register(Component.For<IUnitOfWork>().ImplementedBy<UnitOfWork>().LifestylePerWebRequest());
var contollers = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(x => x.BaseType == typeof(Controller)).ToList();
foreach (var controller in contollers)
{
container.Register(Component.For(controller).LifestyleTransient());
}
var apiContollers = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(x => x.BaseType == typeof(ApiController)).ToList();
foreach (var apiController in apiContollers)
{
container.Register(Component.For(apiController).LifestyleTransient());
}
}
}
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
//Integrace CastleWindsor
var container = new WindsorContainer();
container.Install(new DefaultCastleInstaller());
var castleControllerFactory = new CastleControllerFactory(container);
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(castleControllerFactory);
}
}
ApiController:
public class UserVerificationController : ApiController
{
private readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
/// <summary>
/// Konstruktor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="unitOfWork"></param>
public UserVerificationController(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)
{
_unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
}
// GET api/<controller>
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}

The problem is that because MVC and Web API controllers are separate entities, you need Windsor configuration for both. You've got Windsor configured to create your MVC controllers. You just need the same for your Web API controllers.
Here's a Web API controller activator, mostly lifted from this blog post.
public class WindsorWebApiControllerActivator : IHttpControllerActivator
{
private readonly IWindsorContainer _container;
public WindsorWebApiControllerActivator(IWindsorContainer container)
{
_container = container;
}
public IHttpController Create(
HttpRequestMessage request,
HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor,
Type controllerType)
{
var controller =
(IHttpController)this._container.Resolve(controllerType);
request.RegisterForDispose(
new Release(
() => this._container.Release(controller)));
return controller;
}
private class Release : IDisposable
{
private readonly Action _release;
public Release(Action release)
{
_release = release;
}
public void Dispose()
{
_release();
}
}
}
And you need to register all of the controller types with the container. Here's an IWindsorInstaller that registers all MVC and Web API controllers:
public class ControllersInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.Register(
Classes.
FromThisAssembly().
BasedOn<IController>(). //MVC
If(c => c.Name.EndsWith("Controller")).
LifestyleTransient());
container.Register(
Classes.
FromThisAssembly().
BasedOn<IHttpController>(). //Web API
If(c => c.Name.EndsWith("Controller")).
LifestyleTransient());
}
}
Then at startup replace the default Web API controller activator with yours:
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(
typeof(IHttpControllerActivator),
new WindsorWebApiControllerActivator(container));
and be sure to call the installer:
container.Install(new ControllersInstaller());

Owin Web Api statup.cs with ninject

I have a problem to use web api Owin with ninject. When I try to use my web api , it was this error, and I can not fix this problem , I've tried many ways , none of which revolved my problem.
This error occurs when I boot my application
Error activating ModelValidatorProvider using binding from ModelValidatorProvider to
NinjectDefaultModelValidatorProvider
A cyclical dependency was detected between the constructors of two services.
Activation path:
3) Injection of dependency ModelValidatorProvider into parameter defaultModelValidatorProviders of constructor of type DefaultModelValidatorProviders
2) Injection of dependency DefaultModelValidatorProviders into parameter defaultModelValidatorProviders of constructor of type NinjectDefaultModelValidatorProvider
1) Request for ModelValidatorProvider
Suggestions:
1) Ensure that you have not declared a dependency for ModelValidatorProvider on any implementations of the service.
2) Consider combining the services into a single one to remove the cycle.
3) Use property injection instead of constructor injection, and implement IInitializable
if you need initialization logic to be run after property values have been injected

Help me plis.

I know its very old Q but still comes up in google in top 3 search for this error. So as a solution just remove ninject.web.webapi and its dependencies like ninject.web.webapi.webhost.

Ninject and ASP.NET Web API

Before I set up the question you should know that I got my current code from this page:
http://www.strathweb.com/2012/05/using-ninject-with-the-latest-asp-net-web-api-source/
I'm trying to use ASP.NET Web API and Ninject in my application by using an IDependencyResolver adapter found on the site above.
I created all the code just like it shows on the site and it works but when I load up my appication my regular controllers fail and show this error:
[MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.]
[InvalidOperationException: An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'AccountManager.Controllers.HomeController'...
So, it seems like I can use Ninject with regular controllers or Web API controllers but not both. :(
Here is my code:
NinjectResolver.cs
public class NinjectResolver : NinjectScope, IDependencyResolver
{
private IKernel _kernel;
public NinjectResolver(IKernel kernel)
: base(kernel)
{
_kernel = kernel;
}
public IDependencyScope BeginScope()
{
return new NinjectScope(_kernel.BeginBlock());
}
}
NinjectScope.cs
public class NinjectScope : IDependencyScope
{
protected IResolutionRoot resolutionRoot;
public NinjectScope(IResolutionRoot kernel)
{
resolutionRoot = kernel;
}
public object GetService(Type serviceType)
{
IRequest request = resolutionRoot.CreateRequest(serviceType, null, new Parameter[0], true, true);
return resolutionRoot.Resolve(request).SingleOrDefault();
}
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
{
IRequest request = resolutionRoot.CreateRequest(serviceType, null, new Parameter[0], true, true);
return resolutionRoot.Resolve(request).ToList();
}
public void Dispose()
{
IDisposable disposable = (IDisposable)resolutionRoot;
if (disposable != null) disposable.Dispose();
resolutionRoot = null;
}
}
Global.asax.cs
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
private void SetupDependencyInjection()
{
//create Ninject DI Kernel
IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel();
//register services with Ninject DI container
RegisterServices(kernel);
//tell asp.net mvc to use our Ninject DI Container
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectResolver(kernel);
}
}
AccountingController.cs
public class AccountingController : ApiController
{
private ICustomerService _customerService;
public AccountingController(ICustomerService service)
{
_customerService = service;
}
// GET /api/<controller>/5
public string Get(int id)
{
return "value";
}
}

Insert the following line of code into the CreateKernel() method before the call to the RegisterServices(kernel); is made.
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectResolver(kernel);
You will also need to use the below code, I prefer to have it defined in the same class.
public class NinjectResolver : NinjectScope, IDependencyResolver
{
private IKernel _kernel;
public NinjectResolver(IKernel kernel) : base(kernel)
{
_kernel = kernel;
}
public IDependencyScope BeginScope()
{
return new NinjectScope(_kernel.BeginBlock());
}
}
public class NinjectScope : IDependencyScope
{
protected IResolutionRoot resolutionRoot;
public NinjectScope(IResolutionRoot kernel)
{
resolutionRoot = kernel;
}
public object GetService(Type serviceType)
{
IRequest request = resolutionRoot.CreateRequest(serviceType, null, new Parameter[0], true, true);
return resolutionRoot.Resolve(request).SingleOrDefault();
}
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
{
IRequest request = resolutionRoot.CreateRequest(serviceType, null, new Parameter[0], true, true);
return resolutionRoot.Resolve(request).ToList();
}
public void Dispose()
{
IDisposable disposable = (IDisposable)resolutionRoot;
if (disposable != null) disposable.Dispose();
resolutionRoot = null;
}
}
Run it, and it should work. This worked for me, I hope it does for you too.

I have a Web API project working using exactly the same solution as you from strathweb, so I just added a normal controller to the project, and it does work. Not a great help on it's own for you, so I'll detail the setup I've got:
I have the following packages installed (on the IOC side of things):
Ninject 3.0.1.10
Ninject MVC 3.0.0.6
Ninject.Web.Common 3.0.0.7
WebActivator 1.5.1
I have absolutely nothing in my Global.asax.cs file regarding Ninject, instead using the NinjectWebCommon.cs file that is automatically created in App_Start when you install Ninject. I don't know if by having code in your Global file that means that Ninject hasn't set itself up correctly in your project?
Here is the code in NinjectWebCommon.cs:
public static class NinjectWebCommon
{
private static readonly Bootstrapper bootstrapper = new Bootstrapper();
/// <summary>
/// Starts the application
/// </summary>
public static void Start()
{
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(OnePerRequestHttpModule));
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(NinjectHttpModule));
bootstrapper.Initialize(CreateKernel);
}
/// <summary>
/// Stops the application.
/// </summary>
public static void Stop()
{
bootstrapper.ShutDown();
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates the kernel that will manage your application.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>The created kernel.</returns>
private static IKernel CreateKernel()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
RegisterServices(kernel);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectResolver(kernel);
return kernel;
}
/// <summary>
/// Load your modules or register your services here!
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IUserRepository>().To<UserRepository>().InSingletonScope();
kernel.Bind<IUserManager>().To<UserManager>();
}
}
Here's the other difference I can see between our code, where I create the Kernel, my code declares two bindings to the kernel.
Here's the code for my test controller, I can set a breakpoint in the constructor and it gets it:
public class TestController : Controller
{
IUserManager _userManager;
public TestController(IUserManager userManager)
{
_userManager = userManager;
}
//
// GET: /Test/
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
This works with both my Controller and my APIControllers.
