WebApplicationStarter.ConfigureApplication breaks the default routing and config on webapi

[ashkansirous]

I wanted to add the project and run it as a part of my webapi project. Since it has an owin start up, I thought it would be very easy, but it it not.

The first thing you realize is that ConfigureApplication is reading from its own configuration which is private and then runs applicationBuilder.UseWebApi(WebApplicationStarter.Configuration.Value); which will rewrite the webapi config.

I've tried inheriting from it so I can run run another method setting it beforehand, but the class is sealed.
How are we supposed to configure it on a project consisting of other stuff?

Also, even if it read the other config, the first thing this application does when it starts up is trash any other route mappings.

  WebApplicationStarter.Configuration.Value.Routes.Clear();

This appears to have been designed to be a stand alone service.
