What is the equivalent of DefaultControllerFactory in Web API?

Question

We are trying to replace previous DefaultControllerFactory with new ASP.NET Web API to better handle REST/XML calls. Searching the web always pointed to implementating

Answer 1

It is IHttpControllerActivator implemented by DefaultHttpControllerActivator.

You may replaces it using:

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(typeof(IHttpControllerActivator), 
        new MyOwnActivatior());

Oops!

I meant IHttpControllerSelector!
