Resolving HttpRequestScoped services in ASMX with Autofac 2.1.12 - asmx

The Description I had a legacy type that is HttpRequestScoped and a legacy web service consuming that service. To resolve services in legacy concerns, I have a global resolver. This was all working well in 1.4, and now that I'm using 2.1.12 I'm experiencing DependencyResolutionException.
The Code In 2.1.12, my Global.asax.cs:
builder.Register(c => new SomeLegacyType(HttpContext.Current)) // note: it relies on HttpContext.Current
.As<SomeLegacyType>()
.HttpRequestScoped();
_containerProvider = new ContainerProvider(builder.Build()); // this is my app's IContainerProvider
Setup.Resolver = new AutofacResolver(_containerProvider.ApplicationContainer);
Setup.Resolver is a singleton, and it is being set to AutofacResolver which looks something like this:
public class AutofacResolver : IResolver
{
private readonly IContainer _container;
public AutofacResolver(IContainer container)
{
_container = container;
}
public TService Get<TService>()
{
return _container.Resolve<TService>();
}
}
The web service looks like this:
[WebService]
public LegacyWebService : WebService
{
[WebMethod(EnableSession=true)]
public String SomeMethod()
{
var legacyType = Setup.Resolver.Get<SomeLegacyType>();
}
}
The Exception The following exception when Setup.Resolver.Get<SomeLegacyType>() is called:
Autofac.Core.DependencyResolutionException: No scope matching the expression 'value(Autofac.Builder.RegistrationBuilder`3+<>c__DisplayClass0[SomeAssembly.SomeLegacyType,Autofac.Builder.SimpleActivatorData,Autofac.Builder.SingleRegistrationStyle]).lifetimeScopeTag.Equals(scope.Tag)' is visible from the scope in which the instance was requested.

at Autofac.Core.Resolving.ComponentActivation..ctor(IComponentRegistration registration, IResolveOperation context, ISharingLifetimeScope mostNestedVisibleScope)
at Autofac.Core.Resolving.ResolveOperation.Resolve(ISharingLifetimeScope activationScope, IComponentRegistration registration, IEnumerable`1 parameters)

at Autofac.ResolutionExtensions.Resolve(IComponentContext context, Service service, IEnumerable`1 parameters)
at Autofac.ResolutionExtensions.Resolve[TService](IComponentContext context, IEnumerable`1 parameters)
at Autofac.ResolutionExtensions.Resolve[TService](IComponentContext context)
Side Question Is there a better way to have properties injected in ASMX, the same way my ASPX pages are injected (rather than use Setup.Resolver)? I use the AttributedInjectionModule because of legacy concerns. It doesn't appear that the module works on ASMX.

If you configure your 'resolver' to use the RequestLifetime rather than ApplicationContainer all should work as expected.
This means your IContainer parameter will have to change to ILifetimeScope.
I'm not sure about a better way to inject ASMX dependencies, there may be one but I don't think Autofac supports it.

Microsoft Dependency Injection & HttpClientFactory w/ .NET Framework 4.6+ / MVC 5.2 / Web API 2

Our web application is built on the .NET Framework 4.6+. We're using WebForms, MVC 5.2, and Web API 2.
I'm in the process of trying to integrate Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection and Microsoft.Extensions.Http into this solution so we can take advantage of the new HttpClientFactory that's in ASP.NET Core. We also want to start using DI in our MVC and API controllers.
It appears there are two ways this can be achieved:
Write a custom ControllerActivator
Write a custom DependencyResolver
Based on the reading I've done, it appears the ControllerActivator method is the old way of doing this, and the DependencyResolver is the current, preferred way of handling this. I've written code for both, and both methods appear to work.
Considering the DependencyResolver appears to be the preferred solution for DI now, I'd like to use it but I'm not sure if I'm handling scope object disposal correctly.
Here's how I'm configuring the DependencyResolvers in Global.asax:
Web.Mvc.DependencyResolver.SetResolver(New Mvc.DependencyInjection.DependencyResolver(serviceProvider))
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = New Api.DependencyInjection.DependencyResolver(serviceProvider)
My System.Web.Http.Dependencies.IDependencyResolver implementation for Web API is:
public class DependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
{
private IServiceProvider ServiceProvider { get; }
public DependencyResolver(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) => ServiceProvider = serviceProvider;
public IDependencyScope BeginScope() => new DependencyResolver(ServiceProvider.CreateScope().ServiceProvider);
public void Dispose() => (ServiceProvider as IDisposable)?.Dispose();
public object GetService(Type serviceType) => ServiceProvider.GetService(serviceType);
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType) => ServiceProvider.GetServices(serviceType);
}
My System.Web.Mvc.IDependencyResolver implementation for MVC is:
public class DependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
{
private IServiceProvider ServiceProvider { get; }
public DependencyResolver(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) => ServiceProvider = serviceProvider;
public object GetService(Type serviceType) => ServiceProvider.GetService(serviceType);
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType) => ServiceProvider.GetServices(serviceType);
}
The System.Web.Http.Dependencies.IDependencyResolver interface has Dispose(), and it appears API requests do call my implementation's Dispose method. So that appears to be working (I think).
My concern is the System.Web.Mvc.IDependencyResolver interface doesn't have Dispose(), I'm not clear if these service objects are being properly disposed after a MVC request.
If anyone can provide some insight into this I'd really appreciate it. Don't want to roll this out and find out we're leaking memory.
After a lot of research and discussion, we're leaning towards a hybrid solution for this problem.
For API controllers, since System.Web.Http.Dependencies.IDependencyResolver provides a way to dispose of the service container/provider (and the objects it creates), we're going to use the Dependency Resolver approach laid out above.
For MVC controllers, we're going with the Controller Activation approach laid out by Steven van Deursen here:
ASP.NET Dependency Injection Scoped life time
I created a dummy service that implements IDisposable, and confirmed Dispose gets called using both DI approaches.

Can I use my Ninject .NET project within Orchard CMS?

I am creating a website using Orchard CMS and I have an external .NET project written with Ninject for dependency injection which I would like to use together with a module within Orchard CMS. I know that Orchard uses Autofac for dependency injection and this is causing me problems since I never worked with DI before.
I have created an Autofac module, UserModule, which registers the a source, UserRegistrationSource, like this:
UserModule.cs
public class UserModule : Module
{
protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
{
builder.RegisterSource(new UserRegistrationSource());
}
}
UserRegistrationSource.cs
public class UserRegistrationSource : IRegistrationSource
{
public bool IsAdapterForIndividualComponents
{
get { return false; }
}
public IEnumerable<IComponentRegistration> RegistrationsFor(Service service, Func<Service, IEnumerable<IComponentRegistration>> registrationAccessor)
{
var serviceWithType = service as IServiceWithType;
if (serviceWithType == null)
yield break;
var serviceType = serviceWithType.ServiceType;
if (!serviceType.IsInterface || !typeof(IUserServices).IsAssignableFrom(serviceType) || serviceType != typeof(IUserServices))
yield break;
var registrationBuilder = // something...
yield return registrationBuilder.CreateRegistration();
}
}
UserServices.cs
public interface IUserServices : IDependency
{
void Add(string email, string password);
}
public class UserServices : IUserServices
{
private readonly EFMembershipManager _manager;
public UserServices(EFMembershipManager manager)
{
_manager = manager;
}
public void Add(string email, string password)
{
_manager.createUser(email, password);
}
}
EFMembershipManager.cs constructor
public EFMembershipManager(ServerRepository db,
ServerRepositoryMembershipProvider membershipProvider,
string testUsername,
string serverUsername)
{
...
}
EFMembershipManager is a class from the external project which uses Ninject for DI's and uses ServerRepository and ServerRepositoryMembershipProvider whom also are injected using Ninject.
And now I'm stuck...
Should UserRegistrationSource take the Ninject container (kernel) as a constructor argument and try to find the IUserServices service and then mediate the resolves to the Ninject kernel and return an empty Enumerable so that Autofac doesn't try to resolve anything related to IUserServices or is this the wrong approach?
Autofac supports registration sources (and more on registration sources here). A registration source is a service that the container will consult when trying to resolve a type. The source can respond, either with a means to build the type, or an empty list which indicates that the source is not able to provide the requested type.
In your case, a registration source could be implemented that will try to resolve the requested type from your Ninject container.
I'm not too familiar with Orchard but I'm guessing that it uses configuration files to configure Autofac. My suggestion is that you create a simple Autofac module that registers your registration source implementation, and that you configure Orchard to load the module from config.

HttpContext.GetService in Mono

I've got the following code (lifted from here), and I'm trying to run it on a linux server w/ mono 2.10.5.
private static HttpContext GetCurrentContext(ControllerContext context) {
var currentApplication = (HttpApplication)context.HttpContext.GetService(typeof(HttpApplication));
if (currentApplication == null) {
throw new NullReferenceException("currentApplication");
}
return currentApplication.Context;
}
When running on mono, I get the following exception, which is straightforward enough:
System.NotImplementedException: The requested feature is not
implemented. at System.Web.HttpContextWrapper.GetService
(System.Type serviceType) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
Is there a known workaround I can use to accomplish the same result on mono?
Not sure about the GetService method in Mono but the code you have lifted could be shortened like this:
private static HttpContextBase GetCurrentContext(ControllerContext context) {
return context.HttpContext;
}
You don't really need to go through the Application in order to fetch the HttpContext when you have direct access to it. I have also changed the return type to HttpContextBase instead of HttpContext because in ASP.NET MVC it is recommended to always work with abstractions. It makes your code more weakly coupled and unit testable.
Or if for some unknown to me reason you want to work with an actual HttpContext (no idea why someone would like to tie his code to it) you could try the following:
private static HttpContext GetCurrentContext(ControllerContext context) {
return context.HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Context;
}
But as you can see in both cases the existence of this GetCurrentContext static method becomes quite questionable.

How can I use a standard ASP.NET session object within ServiceStack service implementation

I'm just getting started with ServiceStack and, as a test case, I am looking to rework an existing service which is built using standard ASP.Net handlers. I've managed to get it all working as I want it but have certain aspects which make use of the ASP.Net Session object.
I've tried adding IRequiresSessionState into the service interface:
public class SessionTestService : RestServiceBase<SessionTest>, IRequiresSessionState {
public override object OnPost(SessionTest request) {
// Here I want to use System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session
}
}
The trouble is I can't seem to get it to work as the Session object is always null.
I've done a lot of Googling and have puzzled over https://github.com/mythz/ServiceStack/blob/master/tests/ServiceStack.WebHost.IntegrationTests/Services/Secure.cs and similar but I can't find any example code which does this (which surprises me). Can anyone explain why the above doesn't work and advise what I need to do to get it working?
Note: Ultimately I'll probably look to replace this with Redis or will try to remove any serverside session requirement, but I figured that I'd use the ASP.Net implementation for the time being, to get things working and to avoid reworking it more than is necessary at this point.
Using ServiceStack ISession
ServiceStack has a new ISession interface backed by ICacheClient that lets you share same ISession between MVC Controllers, ASP.NET base pages and ServiceStack's Web Services which share the same Cookie Id allowing you to freely share data between these web frameworks.
Note: ISession is a clean implementation that completely by-passes the existing ASP.NET session with ServiceStack's own components as described in ServiceStack's MVC PowerPack and explained in detail in the Sessions wiki page.
To easily make use of ServiceStack's Session (Cache & JSON Serializer) have your Controllers inherit from ServiceStackController (in MVC) or PageBase (in ASP.NET)
There is also new Authentication / Validation functionality added in ServiceStack which you can read about on the wiki:
Authentication and authorization
Validation
Using ASP.NET Session
Essentially ServiceStack is just a set of lightweight IHttpHandler's running on either an ASP.NET or HttpListener host. If hosted in IIS/ASP.NET (most common) it works like a normal ASP.NET request.
Nothing in ServiceStack accesses or affects the configured Caching and Session providers in the underlying ASP.NET application. If you want to enable it you would need to configure it as per normal in ASP.NET (i.e. outside of ServiceStack) see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178581.aspx
Once configured you can access the ASP.NET session inside a ServiceStack web service via the singleton:
HttpContext.Current.Session
Or alternatively via the underlying ASP.NET HttpRequest with:
var req = (HttpRequest)base.RequestContext.Get<IHttpRequest>().OriginalRequest;
var session = req.RequestContext.HttpContext.Session;
Although because of the mandatory reliance on XML config and degraded performance by default, I prefer to shun the use of ASP.NET's Session, instead opting to use the cleaner Cache Clients included with ServiceStack.
Basically the way Sessions work (ASP.NET included) is a cookie containing a unique id is added to the Response uniquely identifying the browser session. This id points to a matching Dictionary/Collection on the server which represents the browsers' Session.
The IRequiresSession interface you link to doesn't do anything by default, it simply is a way to signal to either a Custom Request Filter or base web service that this request needs to be authenticated (i.e. two places where you should put validation/authentication logic in ServiceStack).
Here's a Basic Auth implementation that looks to see if a web service is Secure and if so make sure they have authenticated.
Here's another authentication implementation that instead validates all services marked with an [Authenticate] attribute, and how to enable Authentication for your service by adding the Attribute on your Request DTO.
New Authentication Model in ServiceStack
The above implementation is apart of the multi-auth provider model included in the next version of ServiceStack. Here's the reference example showing how to register and configure the new Auth model in your application.
Authentication Strategies
The new Auth model is entirely an opt-in convenience as you can simply not use it and implement similar behaviour yourself using Request Filters or in base classes (by overriding OnBeforeExecute). In fact the new Auth services are not actually built-into ServiceStack per-se. The entire implementation lives in the optional ServiceStack.ServiceInterfaces project and implemented using Custom Request Filters.
Here are different Authentication strategies I've used over the years:
Mark services that need authentication with an [Attribute]. Likely the most idiomatic C# way, ideal when the session-id is passed via a Cookie.
Especially outside of a Web Context, sometimes using a more explicit IRequiresAuthentication interface is better as it provides strong-typed access to the User and SessionId required for Authentication.
You can just have a 1-liner to authenticate on each service that needs it - on an adhoc basis. A suitable approach when you have very few services requiring authentication.
That's a great and comprehensive answer by #mythz. However, when trying to access the ASP.NET session by HttpContext.Current.Session within a ServiceStack web service, it always returns null for me. That's because none of the HttpHandlers within ServiceStack are adorned with the IRequiresSessionState interface, so the .NET Framework does not provide us with the session object.
To get around this, I've implemented two new classes, both of which use the decorator pattern to provide us with what we need.
Firstly, a new IHttpHandler which requires session state. It wraps the IHttpHandler provided by ServiceStack and passes calls through to it...
public class SessionHandlerDecorator : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState {
private IHttpHandler Handler { get; set; }
internal SessionHandlerDecorator(IHttpHandler handler) {
this.Handler = handler;
}
public bool IsReusable {
get { return Handler.IsReusable; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
Handler.ProcessRequest(context);
}
}
Next, a new IHttpHandlerFactory which delegates the responsibility for generating the IHttpHandler to ServiceStack, before wrapping the returned handler in our new SessionHandlerDecorator...
public class SessionHttpHandlerFactory : IHttpHandlerFactory {
private readonly static ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory factory = new ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory();
public IHttpHandler GetHandler(HttpContext context, string requestType, string url, string pathTranslated) {
var handler = factory.GetHandler(context, requestType, url, pathTranslated);
return handler == null ? null : new SessionHandlerDecorator(handler);
}
public void ReleaseHandler(IHttpHandler handler) {
factory.ReleaseHandler(handler);
}
}
Then, it's just a matter of changing the type attributes in the handlers in Web.config to SessionHttpHandlerFactory instead of ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack, and your web services should now have the ASP.NET session avaialble to them.
Despite the above, I fully endorse the new ISession implementation provided by ServiceStack. However, in some cases, on a mature product, it just seems too big a job to replace all uses of the ASP.NET session with the new implementation, hence this workaround!
Thanks #Richard for your answer above. I am running a new version of service stack and they have removed the ServiceStackHttpFactory with HttpFactory. Instead of having
private readonly static ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory factory = new ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory();
You need to have
private static readonly HttpHandlerFactory Factory = new HttpHandlerFactory();
Here is updated code for this service
using ServiceStack;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
namespace MaryKay.eCommerce.Mappers.AMR.Host
{
public class SessionHttpHandlerFactory : IHttpHandlerFactory
{
private static readonly HttpHandlerFactory Factory = new HttpHandlerFactory();
public IHttpHandler GetHandler(HttpContext context, string requestType, string url, string pathTranslated)
{
var handler = Factory.GetHandler(context, requestType, url, pathTranslated);
return handler == null ? null : new SessionHandlerDecorator(handler);
}
public void ReleaseHandler(IHttpHandler handler)
{
Factory.ReleaseHandler(handler);
}
}
public class SessionHandlerDecorator : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
private IHttpHandler Handler { get; set; }
internal SessionHandlerDecorator(IHttpHandler handler)
{
Handler = handler;
}
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return Handler.IsReusable; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
Handler.ProcessRequest(context);
}
}
}
As of ServiceStack 4.5+ the HttpHandler can also support Async. Like so:
namespace FboOne.Services.Host
{
public class SessionHttpHandlerFactory : IHttpHandlerFactory
{
private static readonly HttpHandlerFactory Factory = new HttpHandlerFactory();
public IHttpHandler GetHandler(HttpContext context, string requestType, string url, string pathTranslated)
{
var handler = Factory.GetHandler(context, requestType, url, pathTranslated);
return handler == null ? null : new SessionHandlerDecorator((IHttpAsyncHandler)handler);
}
public void ReleaseHandler(IHttpHandler handler)
{
Factory.ReleaseHandler(handler);
}
}
public class SessionHandlerDecorator : IHttpAsyncHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
private IHttpAsyncHandler Handler { get; set; }
internal SessionHandlerDecorator(IHttpAsyncHandler handler)
{
Handler = handler;
}
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return Handler.IsReusable; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
Handler.ProcessRequest(context);
}
public IAsyncResult BeginProcessRequest(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback cb, object extraData)
{
return Handler.BeginProcessRequest(context, cb, extraData);
}
public void EndProcessRequest(IAsyncResult result)
{
Handler.EndProcessRequest(result);
}
}
}

WCF Error in deserializing body of request message for operation

I have a asp.net client web application and a WCF web service which was developed from schema xsd. When calling the service i get an error in deserializing body of request. I tried updating service reference but that did not help.
This is my code:
OSEOP.HMA_OrderingBindingClient client = new OSEOP.HMA_OrderingBindingClient();
OSEOP.GetCapabilitiesRequest request = new OSEOP.GetCapabilitiesRequest();
request.GetCapabilities = new OSEOP.GetCapabilities();
request.GetCapabilities.service = "OS";
string[] arrAcceptedVersions = { "1.0.0", "2.0.0" };
request.GetCapabilities.AcceptVersions = arrAcceptedVersions;
OSEOP.Capabilities capabilities = client.GetCapabilities(request.GetCapabilities);
txtGetCapabilitiesResponse.Text = capabilities.Contents.ToString();
client.Close();
and this is the error:

as you can see, the error happens at the client and never gets sent out to the WCF service. For this reason i'm not getting anything in my MessageLogging. That's why i thought it would have something to do with the service reference.
Can anyone help?
EDIT #1:
What i don't understand is the GetCapabilities takes a GetCapabilitiesRequest parameter but when i'm implementing the client, my intellisense asks for a OSEOP.GetCapabilities object.
OSEOP is what i named the web reference.

EDIT #2 #Marc:
Marc, your answer was very helpful. But you see how the server side is something like this:
GetCapabilitiesResponse GetCapabilities(GetCapabilitiesRequest request)
Yet my intellisense thinks it's something like this:
Capabilities GetCapabilities(GetCapabilities GetCapabilities1)
And I've found a snippet of code within the IOrder.cs file (47,256 lines of code generated from schema) that I'm sure is causing the problem but I tried commenting out the trouble function, updating service reference, and my intellisense still wants GetCapabilities GetCapabilities1

{
GetCapabilitiesRequest inValue = new GetCapabilitiesRequest();
inValue.GetCapabilities = GetCapabilities1;
GetCapabilitiesResponse retVal = ((HMA_OrderingBinding)(this)).GetCapabilities(inValue);
return retVal.Capabilities;
}
}
Two questions:
Why do you create a GetCapabilitiesRequest object which contains a subobject GetCapabilities, and then in your method call, you only use the contained suboject GetCapabilities??
So why not just create the GetCapabilities in the first place and forget about the wrapping object??
Also, can you please show us the GetCapabilitiesRequest and GetCapabilities and the return class Capabilities, too? If you have a deserialization error, most likely something with those classes isn't right...
Update: thanks for the update to your question....
hmm... can't seem to find anything obviously wrong at first glance....
About your question:
What I don't understand is the
GetCapabilities takes a
GetCapabilitiesRequest parameter but
when I'm implementing the client, my
intellisense asks for a
OSEOP.GetCapabilities object.
Yes, that's clear - your service-side uses its set of classes - GetCapabilitiesRequest and so forth.
When you do an Add Service Reference in Visual Studio, what VS does is
interrogate the server to find out about the service - what methods it has and what parameters it needs
it creates a set of copies of your classes for the client-side proxy - in that namespace that you define on the Add Service Reference dialog box. Those are classes that look exactly the same as your server side classes - but they are not the same classes - they just serialize to XML (and deserialize from XML) the same way as those on the server. That's why your client-side proxy has different classes in a different namespace. That's standard WCF behavior - nothing to be alarmed about...
Update no. 2: Carlos, the schema you sent me seems to be incomplete or has errors. Try to use OGC project on CodePlex as a base and build in your code manually or wait until the schema gets ‘officially’ published.
