Examples of ASP.Net MVC 2 - WCF/WSDL - using IoC methodology

Question

We here at my company are just about to get going on ASP.Net MVC 2 for our UI to interface a backend totally SOA with WCF/WSDL. I have looked at various books examples of how to totally make the applicalion loosely coupled from the Domain perspective using the IoC containers e.g. Unity or Castle (looks to be the way to go !) ...BUT Are there any GOOD examples though of this in using WSDL calls ...we are not yet using oData...just the standard wsdl.

Any help, hints appreciated...

Answer 1

The reference application for asp.net mvc NerdDinner is a good place to start http://weblogs.asp.net/shijuvarghese/archive/2009/03/12/applying-dependency-injection-in-asp-net-mvc-nerddinner-com-application.aspx

Answer 2

The Service Contract for each of the WCF services for which you do an "Add Service Reference" will be an interface. Simply program against that interface.

So you have a ISomeService service contract. Pass an instance of that contract to the classes that need to interact with it:

public SomeClass(ISomeService service)
{
   this._service = service;
}

public List<Something> GetSomething()
{
   return _service.GetSomething();
}

Now you can either pass a SomeServiceClient instance, or a SomeMockService instance to the class.
