Unity Dependency Injection for WCF services

Question

Can someone direct me to a good example of Unity Dependency Injection for WCF services? Any blog or msdn article will also help.

I'm about to give a try to Unity.Wcf library (https://github.com/ViceIce/unity.wcf), at first sight looks pretty good. I've read in this article this:

If you are hosting your WCF service within a Windows Service using a ServiceHost, replace the ServiceHost instance with the custom Unity.Wcf.UnityServiceHost. You will find that the UnityServiceHost takes in a Unity container as its first parameter but is otherwise identical to the default ServiceHost.

As it is my case I'm going to do this...

   class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // 1st Initialize the Host (Configures Container and Factories)
        ServiceHostController.Initialize();

        // 2nd Create a URI to serve as the base address.
        var baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:54321/BlaBlaBla/");

        // 3rd Create a UnityServiceHost instance
        var myService = new UnityServiceHost(ServiceHostController.UnityContainer, typeof(MyService), baseAddress);

        try
        {  //etcetera...

And it worked for me, I still have to refactor some things and add features and methods but the starting point works like a charm.

I hope it helps.
