Adding Routes (WCF RESTFUL)

Hi Joe,

Just done some researching in mojo's code and found that we can add routes using .config files (RoutingHandler.cs). I was wondering how to add the following route without changing the global.asax. From now, I'll let the code on Global.asax. Is there another way?

This is a sample of the routes I'm working with:

RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("service1", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(Service1)));

Re: Adding Routes (WCF RESTFUL)

Hi Bruno,

If you know the urls and handlers you can declare routes by patterns in config files that can be dropped into the /Setup/Routes folder. There is a file there named mojoRoutes.config that has example syntax for declaring routes. You can add additional files to declare custom routes in that folder using the example syntax.

I don't have a way for you to add routes programmatically as in the syntax you posted. That is one of the integration issues of routing that they can only be added from application_start in global.asax so typically one would have to recompile in order to add routes.

The solution you found in mojoPortal routing is recent work I did to make it possible to add routes without recompiling by using config files to declare route patterns. Routes are not currently used yet in mojoPortal but I plan to try to use it when I make the new tagging/category system in order to have seo friendly urls for tags/category lists. I have tested it with experimental code in the /Bog/ViewCategory.aspx page but I commented it out there because I was only testing for proof of concept to make sure I could get it working.

Best,

Joe
