Can OpenRasta run alongside an existing Web App?

Question

Is there a preferred way to configure an ASP.net solution so that OpenRasta can run alongside an existing application asp.net application.

I'm interested in what the process would be for a request coming in to the server for:

• a resource OR knew about
• a resource the old web app knew about
• a resource neither app know how to handle

Ideally I'd like to keep the 2 projects separated so that we can gradually move over functionality to being based on OpenRasta and away from our legacy app.

As an example, on a machine with a virtual directory of /api

• Requests to /api/contacts <-- handled by OpenRasta.
• Requests to /api/v0.1/contacts <-- handled by Legacy web app.
• Requests to /api/junk <-- handled by Neither web app.

Answer 1

OR will try and match the incoming URI to its uri tables. If it doesn't find any matching routes, it lets the request go down the asp.net pipeline. So short answer is yes, you can simply keep your aspx / ihttphandler / asp.net routing in place, and add new routes to openrasta.
