Restricted all routes expect the alowed one

Question

Yeah, this might sound odd but we have a third party library which enable a sort of service consumed by a JavaScript application. This third party library take care of calling the correct controller and action.

This works all very well but we now need to restrict the routes to this "ServiceController" and maybe one or two other controllers. In the current version (MVC2) we simply override the controller factory which statically checks for a valid controller. Yeah it worked but it was more a workaround which then stayed there forever. So is there any clean way for archiving this (by configuring the routes? Note that we don't use the authorize attribute. And we will be using MVC4 in the next release)

Answer 1

Add global filter and put logic into OnActionExecuting (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg416513(v=vs.98).aspx)

Option 1: Check routeValues for a correct controller and action

var controllerName = filterContext.RouteData.Values["controller"];
var actionName = filterContext.RouteData.Values["action"];

Option 2: Check this value Request.Url

Actually you allow only the routes defined and nothing else, so the question is really a little odd.
