ASP.NET hosted ServiceStack Service (RabbitMQ callable)

To create a RabbitMQ callable ServiceStack service hosted on IIS (ASP.NET Webforms, MVC, etc.)

• Follow the instructions at Create your first (ServiceStack) webservice and Run servicestack side by side with another web framework to create the ServiceStack service.

• Install the RestBus.RabbitMQ and RestBus.ServiceStack NuGet packages.

PM> Install-Package RestBus.RabbitMQ
PM> Install-Package RestBus.ServiceStack

• Add code in the Application_Start method of the Global.asax file that starts the RestBus host.

RestBusHost restbusHost = null; //Make this a field in the class

var amqpUrl = "amqp://localhost:5672"; //AMQP URI for RabbitMQ server
var serviceName = "samba"; //Uniquely identifies this service

var msgMapper = new BasicMessageMapper(amqpUrl, serviceName);
var subscriber = new RestBusSubscriber(msgMapper);
restbusHost = new RestBusHost(subscriber);
restbusHost.Start();

• Add code in the Application_End method of the Global.asax file that stops the RestBus host.

if (restbusHost != null)
    restbusHost.Stop();

Complete ASP.NET Webforms and ASP.NET MVC 4 examples are available in the RestBus.Examples repo.
