Hi,

I need to set-up a custom MapRoute so I can set a VisualCron task to periodically call the url and let it kick off a database check / email function.

Either I'm losing the plot, or I've messed something up. This used to work in V7 in ApplicationEventHandler and a simple MapRoute.

I understand that ApplicationEventHandlers are now out for V8, so I have the following:

RegisterCustomRouteComposer in the root of the Umbraco project:

public class RegisterCustomRouteComposer : ComponentComposer<RegisterCustomRouteComponent>
{
}

public class RegisterCustomRouteComponent : IComponent
{        
    public void Initialize()
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute("JobQueueRunner", "runjobqueue", new
        {
            controller = "JobQueueRunner",
            action = "ProcessQueue",
            id = UrlParameter.Optional
        });
    }

    public void Terminate()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Then a JobQueueRunnerController (SurfaceController folder) and Interface to the JobQueueService

public class JobQueueRunnerController : Controller
{
    private readonly IJobQueueService _jobQueueService;

    public JobQueueRunnerController(IJobQueueService jobQueueService)
    {
        _jobQueueService = jobQueueService;
    }

    public ActionResult ProcessQueue()
    {
        _jobQueueService.ProcessNextJobs(ControllerContext);
        return Content("Ok");
    }
}

public interface IJobQueueService
{
    void ProcessNextJobs(ControllerContext controllerContext);
}

When http://<--sitename-->/runjobqueue is called, I get the following exception:

[InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve type: XXX.SurfaceControllers.JobQueueRunnerController, service name: ]
   LightInject.ServiceContainer.CreateDelegate(Type serviceType, String serviceName, Boolean throwError) +212
   LightInject.ServiceContainer.CreateDefaultDelegate(Type serviceType, Boolean throwError) +146
   LightInject.ServiceContainer.GetInstance(Type serviceType) +192

   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStepImpl(IExecutionStep step) +213

Any ideas / pointers / obvious mistakes on my part?

Thanks,

Alastair
