Configuration options

Demis Bellot edited this page Dec 3, 2013 · 1 revision

As you might have seen in the last tutorials, the main configuration is made in the app host Configure method.

//Set JSON web services to return idiomatic JSON camelCase properties	
ServiceStack.Text.JsConfig.EmitCamelCaseNames = true;
//Change the default ServiceStack configuration
Feature disableFeatures = Feature.Jsv | Feature.Soap;
SetConfig(new EndpointHostConfig {
    EnableFeatures = Feature.All.Remove(disableFeatures), //all formats except of JSV and SOAP
    DebugMode = true, //Show StackTraces in service responses during development
    WriteErrorsToResponse = false, //Disable exception handling
    DefaultContentType = ContentType.Json, //Change default content type
    AllowJsonpRequests = true //Enable JSONP requests
});
Property name Default value Description
EnableFeatures Feature.All Defines the formats which the webservice should understand
DebugMode false If true, stack traces will be shown in service responses during development
WriteErrorsToResponse true
DefaultContentType ContentType.Json
AllowJsonpRequests true
GlobalResponseHeaders Sets global headers which will be added to every request response. (Example)

Note: DebugMode should be set to false in production because of security reasons!

Logging

To ensure every ServiceStack service uses the same Global Logger, set it before you initialize ServiceStack's AppHost, e.g:

  LogManager.LogFactory = new DebugLogFactory(); 
  new AppHost().Init();
