Controllers, Dependencies, and Managing the Database Unit of Work

Abstract

It’s now time to start dealing with some of the more complex concerns in the task-management service. In the previous chapter, you started with an empty folder, created a basic source-tree structure, added a new Visual Studio 2012 solution, and added the projects you know you’ll need for this little REST service. You also added some of the more basic code components, and setup the project and library references you anticipated needing. While each of these things is certainly important and critical to the overall design of the service, you’ve yet to address any of the following:

• Controller activation

• Dependencies

• NHibernate configuration and mappings

• Database unit of work management

• Database transaction control

• Security

• Logging of service calls and exceptions
