I have an MVC5 application that serves as a framework and uses plugins to extend functionality. Each plugin is its own MVC5/WebAPI project, and I have my framework project configured to dynamically install plugins and retrieve embedded resources.
My problem is each plugin can have WCF web services, WebAPI endpoints, and standard MVC controllers. For example, my directory structure might be:
MyFramework Resources Controllers (my framework level controllers) Plugins CoolNewPlugin Services CoolService.svc Controllers CoolAPIController OtherPlugin Controllers OtherAPIController CollectionOfPlugins AnotherPlugin Services AnotherWCFService.svc etc.... My goal is to have the following routes available:
/api/REST/{plugin}/{controller}/{action}
/api/SOAP/{plugin}/Services/Servicename.svc
Essentially I want hide the complexity of the application's directory structure from the end users trying to consume the web services (either SOAP or REST).
The REST stuff I think I have handled using a custom IHttpControllerSelector.
The problem is the WCF service endpoints. They are defined inside of each plugin independently (each plugin has its own web.config file that its services are using), and therefore I can't just modify the element to support the other address.
In the above example, the SOAP Service endpoints would currently look like:
http://example.com/plugins/CoolNewPlugin/Services/CoolService.svc
http://example.com/plugins/CollectionOfPlugins/AnotherPlugin/Services/AnotherWCFService.svc
and what I want is:
http://example.com/api/SOAP/CoolNewPlugin/Services/CoolService.svc
http://example.com/api/SOAP/AnotherPlugin/Services/AnotherWCFService.svc
Thanks for the help.
