  Hi,

  I am trying to use ServiceStack to publish XRM entities as a web service but getting errors possibly due to cyclic/circular dependencies. Has anyone tried it successfully/unsuccessfully?

  I also tried creating a proxy class for one simple entity like territory & using that class to publish but that also did not work. BTW, creating proxy class is not fun, is there any quick way to do it in VS2010?

  AccountService : RestServiceBase<Account> & AccountRepository are practically empty.

  Routes.Add<Xrm.Account>("/accounts");
  
  SetConfig(new EndpointHostConfig {
            DebugMode = true, //Show StackTraces when developing
          });
  
  2011-06-26 12:17:25,531 [17] ERROR Xrm.App_Start.AppHost [Configure] -
  System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ServiceStack.Text.Jsv.JsvReader`1' threw an exception. --->
  System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ServiceStack.Text.Common.DeserializeEnumerable`2' threw an exception. 

  If this does not work, what are my options?

  I am looking for following features (ideally most of ServiceStack):

  1. Web service - REST & SOAP
  2. Caching
  3. Authentication

  Is OpenRasta better than WCF? Again, without NuGet, OpenRasta was not breeze...

  PS: This is also posted on StackOverflow.
