如果我们想对外发布RESTful API，可以基于ASP.NET来构建Restful APIs，但需要部署IIS吗？答案是不必。你可以把它托管到一个Windows Service。具体如何把WEB API自托管到Windows Service可以参考这一文章：Self-Host a Web API (HttpSelfHostServer) (C#). 基本上照着一步步做就行了。例子里是基于Windows Console Application，同样可以Self-Host到Windows Service.
问题在于如何把Controllers从Windows Service分离？可以使用autoFac，本文具体从这展开。
autoFac是一个.NET IoC容器框架，这里我们用来分离Controllers，也就是说，我们把MVC的控制器Controllers放到独立的一个工程（Project），然后在Windows Service里面自托管（Self-Host）RESTful APIs。部署的时候只要部署windows service即可，不需要IIS，外部一样可以调用我们的RESTful APIs. 需要做的就是： 1. 引用autoFac 2. 注册Controllers 3. 设置DependencyResolver。好，我们新建一个project，类型是类库dll。添加引用：System.Web.Http；添加一个Controller：

上面那个控制器可以处理RESTful API涉及group的请求。具体下面再谈。
回到我们已经创建Self-Host的Windows Service项目，里面添加引用Autofac.dll和Autofac.Integration.WebApi.dll。此外，可能还需要一些引用，我这里的列表如下：
然后在Windows Service项目里面添加一个类，内容如下：

主要就是用来aufoFac初始化和注册类型。然后在Windows service里面调用：

public
partial
class
Service : ServiceBase{ private
HttpSelfHostServer _server; private
readonly
HttpSelfHostConfiguration _config; public
Service() { InitializeComponent(); _config = new
HttpSelfHostConfiguration(_serviceAddress); _config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApi", "notifications/{controller}/{id}", new
{ id = RouteParameter.Optional }); } protected
override
void
OnStart(string[] args) { /* Start self-host Web API */ AutofacWebAPI.Initialize(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration); _server = new
HttpSelfHostServer(_config); _server.OpenAsync(); }} |
就这么简单。此外，你还可以用其他的DependencyResolver方式，具体参考autoFac官方文档：https://code.google.com/p/autofac/wiki/WebApiIntegration
最后如何测试呢？
HTTP POST http://localhost:8080/notifications/group/update
post body (text/plain): name=abc&status=CANCELLED
post body
(application/json): "{\"name\":\"abc\",\"status\":\"CANCELLED\"}";
post
body (application/xml):
@"<myc:root
xmlns:myc=""http://api.abc.com/Platform/1.0"">
<myc:name>abc</myc:name>
<myc:status>CANCELLED</myc:status>
</myc:root>";
看不懂的，可看代码。支持text/json/xml多种参数格式。RESTful API测试可以用Chrome插件：Postman REST Client。
