How can I define an endpoint without web.config or httpModule?
I would like to make a RESTful application for HTTP handlers without having to define each endpoint by creating an entry in the web.config file, I would like to style the attaching of attributes to the constructor of the class like:
public class obj : IHttpHandler
{
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/accounts/{id}")]
public obj(string id)
{
// this is just an eg, it worild normally include caching and
// a template system
String html = File.ReadAllText("/accounts/accounts.htm");
html.replace("id", id);
httpcontext.current.response.write(html)
}
}
instead
<httpHandlers>
<clear />
<add verb="GET" path="/accounts/*" type="MyApp.obj" />
</httphandlers>
The way I am doing it now, I have 100 endpoints in the web.config :( I would rather define them in a class. And I also don't want to create additional files (.asmx). 'D as an application only .htm files with tokens and .cs files
Thanks!

You can automate the registration of endpoints, etc. using a custom ServiceHost that overrides the ApplyConfiguration () method, which then virtualizes the configuration so it isn't in the web.config file.
Here is the starting point . It doesn't do what you want, but it does illustrate the concept of configuration virtualization.
