Servicestack

This is the second post in my series on building web services with ServiceStack. In the first part, I covered the benefits of using ServiceStack, this article continues with the setup of a basic service and its several components. In this and the following parts I will create a simple example project to illustrate the use of servicestack. This project will be an expenses tracker. In this part, we will develop the functionality to add expenses and establish an overall balance. In the following part we will combine them with the C# client. ...

This article is the beginning of a series of articles in which I want to discuss the basics of building web services and designing REST APIs using ServiceStack. This first article discusses the question of what ServiceStack is all about, the benefits of it, and why you should use (or at least try out) this framework. The following articles will then discuss the design of a simple service by using a simple example to illustrate the various possibilities it offers. Each chapter ends with a summary to provide a quick way to look up previous sections. ...

In my last post, I’ve set up a basic RESTful service using ServiceStack. This article deals with the implementation of a corresponding functionality on the client side. The application will query the path provided by the server and apply the pre-defined authentication method, requiring the user to log in with username and password before the application delivers the desired content. Both projects, client and server are located on my GitHub-profile and can be viewed and downloaded there. ...

This articles covers the basic usage of ServiceStack, a .NET-framework for creating RESTful services. The framework has a really great documentation, where you can check out all the details. Configuration To get started, you’ll want to create a new ASP.NET project, and load the ServiceStack package via NuGet. Then, you’ll have to edit your Web.config to look like the following (mentioned versions may differ from your project): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Informationen zur Konfiguration Ihrer ASP.NET-Anwendung finden Sie unter https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169433 --> <configuration> <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.6.1"/> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.6.1"/> <httpHandlers> <add path="*" type="ServiceStack.HttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*"/> </httpHandlers> </system.web> <!-- Required for IIS7 --> <system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> <handlers> <add path="*" name="ServiceStack.Factory" type="ServiceStack.HttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="Unspecified" allowPathInfo="true" /> </handlers> </system.webServer> <system.codedom> <compilers> <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3513ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:default /nowarn:1659;1699;1701"/> <compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3513ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:default /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\"Web\" /optionInfer+"/> </compilers> </system.codedom> </configuration> The second step is the configuration of the file Global.asax.cs. I’ve created a new class HelloAppHost which inherits from AppHostBase. ...
