I am working on a Generic WCF Host that scans a plugins folder and loads all assemblies that implement a type "IWebService"
I then use Ninject to start hosting the wcf service. All configurations are in the App.config.
This works great when there is only a single plugin to load.
But when I try to start() the second, it throws an exception stating "A registration already exists for URI"
I have 2 totally different services defined in the App.config so I'm getting really confused.
Here is the App.config
<services>
<service name="GenericWebService.WebService" behaviorConfiguration="defaultBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<!-- note, choose an available port-->
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8092/GenericWebService/service" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8092/GenericWebService/service" name="service1"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="soapBinding" contract="GenericWebService.ICalculator"/>
</service>
<service name="GenericWebService.WebService2" behaviorConfiguration="defaultBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<!-- note, choose an available port-->
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8093/GenericWebService2/service"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8093/GenericWebService2/service" name="service2"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="soapBinding" contract="GenericWebService.ICalculator2" />
</service>
</services>
Here is how I am loading them and starting the host
private static void StartNinjectSelfHostFromPlugin(IEnumerable<IWebService> webServices )
{
foreach (var webService in webServices)
{
var ninjectType = (new NinjectServiceSelfHostFactory()).GetType();
var wcfConfiguration = typeof (NinjectWcfConfiguration)
.GetMethod("Create", Type.EmptyTypes)
.GetGenericMethodDefinition()
.MakeGenericMethod(new[]
{webService.GetType(),ninjectType })
.Invoke(null, new object[]{});
var x = new NinjectSelfHostBootstrapper(CreateKernel, wcfConfiguration);
_selfHostBootstrappers.Add(x);
x.Start();
}
}
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After a massive amount of refactoring, I have this working, but I dont know if it is 'correct.' To get it working I had to basically create a new IKernel inside of my webservice class and also have it inherit from NinjectModule and configure bindings in there as well. Why do I need multiple Kernels to make this possible? I should add that if I dont need Ninject this works by using a standard ServiceHost
