The Windows Communication Foundation

Interoperability & Integration Secure, Reliable, Transacted Messaging Decoupled, Dynamic Applications The Connectivity Imperative

Windows Communication Foundation The Unified Framework For Rapidly Building Service-Oriented Applications

Windows Communication Foundation INTEROPERABILITY PRODUCTIVITY SERVICE-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Broad Support for WS-* specifications Compatible with existing MS distributed application technologies Unifies today’s distributed technologies Attribute-based development Visual Studio 2005 integration Enables development of loosely-coupled services Config-based communication

Unified Programming Model Interop with other platforms ASMX Attribute- Based Programming Enterprise Services WS-* Protocol Support WSE Message- Oriented Programming System.Messaging Extensibility Location transparency .NET Remoting

WS-* Protocol Support XML Messaging Security Transactions Reliable Messaging Metadata

Investment Protection SIDE-BY-SIDE Interop UPGRADE

From Objects to Services Polymorphism Encapsulation Subclassing Message-based Schema+Contract+Policy Broad Interop Location Transparent Tight Coupling Runtime Metadata Object-Oriented Service-Oriented Component-Oriented 1980s 2000s 1990s

Four Tenets of Service Orientation SERVICE ORIENTATION Compatibility Based On Policy Share Schema & Contract, Not Class Services Are Autonomous Boundaries Are Explicit

Conventional Web Services The old way of easily exposing components (ASMX): .NET Component ASMX Web Service HTTP Client

WCF Services The new way of easily exposing components (WCF): .NET Component HTTP Host TCP Host ICP Host MSMQ Host HTTP Client TCP Client ICP Client MSMQ Client Service Contract

Main Design Goal Unification Unify today’s distributed technology stacks Talk on-machine, cross-machine, cross-networks & Internet Productivity Codify best practices for building distributed apps Maximize productivity Integration Interoperate with apps running on other platforms Integrate with Microsoft’s existing technologies

Agenda Introduction Overview Contracts Service Data Message Bindings Behaviours Instancing Summary

WCF Contracts Overview Service Contracts Describe the operations a service can perform Map CLR types to WSDL Data Contracts Describes a data structure Maps CLR types to XSD Message Contracts Defines the structure of the message on the wire Maps CLR types to SOAP messages

Service Contract [ServiceContract] public interface ICalculator { [OperationContract] int DoMath(int a, int b, string op); }

Service Contract An Opt-In Model [ServiceContract] public interface ICalculator { [OperationContract] int DoMath(int a, int b, string op); // Not exposed as part of the external contract :-) void MethodRequiredForImplementation(bool b); }

Operations Types Message DoXmlMath( Message m); Untyped (“Universal”) MathResponse DoMsgMath( MathRequest msg); int DoParamsMath( int a, int b, string op ); Typed Message Parameterized Operations (shorthand for TM)

Service Contract: Names [ServiceContract( Namespace ="http://TechEd.WCF.Intro")] public interface IGreetings { [OperationContract( Name =“SayHello", Action ="http://TechEd.WCF.Intro/HelloRequest", ReplyAction ="http://TechEd.WCF.Intro/HelloResponse")] string Greet(string name); [OperationContractAttribute( Action = "*" )] void UnrecognizedMessageHandler( Message msg ); } class GreetingService : IGreetings { public string Greet(string name) { return “Hello, " + name; } public void UnrecognizedMessageHandler(Message msg) { Console.WriteLine("Unrecognized message: " + msg.ToString()); } }

Modeling Request/Reply Operations On the wire everything is asynchronous Therefore, Request and Reply correlation can be modeled in 2 ways It can be modeled either as a synchronous (blocking) method call or using the .NET Async-Pattern The implementation on the client and the service can be different ! [OperationContract] MathResponse DoMsgMath(MathRequest msg); [OperationContrac t(AsyncPattern=true) ] IAsyncResult BeginDoMsgMath(MathRequest msg, AsyncCallback cb, object state ) ; MathResponse EndDoMsgMath(IAsyncResult call);

Service Contract: OneWay [ServiceContract] public interface IOneWayCalculator { [OperationContract( IsOneWay=true )] void DoMath(MathRequest request); }

Service Contract: Duplex [ServiceContract(SessionMode=SessionMode.Required, CallbackContract=typeof(ICalculator Results ) ] public interface ICalculatorProblems { [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)] void DoMath(MathRequest request); } public interface ICalculatorResults { [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)] void DisplayResults(MathResponse response); }

Service Contract: Faults t ry { return n1 / n2; } catch (DivideByZeroException e) { MyMathFault f = new MyMathFault (n1, n2); FaultReason r = new FaultReason("Divide By Zero"); throw new Fault Exception < MyMathFault >( f, r ); } [ServiceContract(Session=true)] public interface ICalculator { [OperationContract] [FaultContract(typeof( MyMathFault ))] int DoMath(int a, int b, string op); }

Service Contract: Versioning [ServiceContract] public interface ICalculator2 : ICalculator { [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)] void SolveAndStoreProblem (ComplexProblem p); }

Service Contract: Streams [ServiceContract ] public interface IStreamCalculator { [OperationContract] Stream Fibonacci(int iterations); }

Data Contract [DataContract] public enum Position { [ EnumMember ] Employee, [ EnumMember ] Manager, [ EnumMember( Value = “ Vendor" ) ] Contractor, NotASerializableEnumeration }

Data Contract: Names [DataContract( Name=“Complex”, Namespace=“http://BigMath.Samples” )] public class ComplexNumber { [DataMember( Name=“RealPart” )] public double Real = 0.0D; [DataMember( Name=“ImaginaryPart” )] public double Imaginary = 0.0D; public ComplexNumber(double r, double i) { this.Real = r; this.Imaginary = i; } }

Data Contract: Enumerations [DataContract] public enum Position { [EnumMember] Employee, [EnumMember] Manager, [EnumMember(Value = “Vendor")] Contractor, NotASerializableEnumeration }

Message Contract [MessageContract] public class ComplexProblem { [MessageHeader(Name="Op", MustUnderstand=true)] public string operation; [MessageBodyMember] public ComplexNumber n1; [MessageBodyMember] public ComplexNumber n2; [MessageBodyMember] public ComplexNumber solution; // Constructors… }

Mapping Contracts (1/2) [ MessageContract ] public class MyRequest { [MessageHeader] public int Amount; [MessageBody] public ItemInfo Info; } [ DataContract ] public class ItemInfo { [DataMember] public int ID; [DataMember] public double Cost; [DataMember] public string Name; } wsdl:message wsdl:part xsd:element

Mapping Contracts (2/2) [ ServiceContract ] public interface MyContract { [OperationContract] MyReply MyOp(MyRequest request); [OperationContract] void MyOp2(MyRequest2 request); } wsdl:portType wsdl:operation

Behaviors: Overview Behaviors are all local Developers care about some behaviors Concurrency, instancing model, … Everything that affects the correctness of the service Deployers care about other behaviors Throttling, Metadata exposure, message routing info, … Everything that has to do with the service’s runtime aspects Anything you can do in config, you can do in code Code is King – you can always override the config settings

Example: Security Service Client Be Be Bindings Move Claims in Messages Behaviors Implement Security Gates Behaviors Provide Credentials C B A C B A A B C C B A
