  1. RBA Consulting WCF 4.0: Routing & Discovery Services January 20, 2011

  2. WCF Routing • The Routing Service is a generic SOAP intermediary that acts as a message router. The core functionality of the Routing Service is the ability to route messages based on message content, which allows a message to be forwarded to a client endpoint based on a value within the message itself, in either the header or the message body. • from MSDN

  3. Routing Service Usage • Protocol Bridging • Content-Based Routing • Failover (Backup Lists)

  4. Routing Service Architecture

  5. Using the Routing Service • Create regular WCF Services to be called by the Routing Service. • Create a Routing Service: • Change the markup in the .svc file to point to the routing Service. Be sure to reference System.ServiceModel.Routing in your project • In the web.config: • Add endpoints for all the services to which you’ll connect in the <client> section.

  6. Using the Routing Service (cont’d) • In the web.config (cont’d): • Create a namespace filter and set the Xpath filterData • Add filterTables to point to the correct end points • Set the Routing behavior to identify the filterTables

  7. WCF Discovery • The Discovery APIs provide a unified programming model for the dynamic publication and discovery of Web services using the WS-Discovery protocol. These APIs allow services to publish themselves and clients to find published services. • MSDN

  8. Discovery Architecture

  9. How Discovery Works • Discovery involves a client, a service, and/or a Discovery Proxy • A Client is an entity that is looking for services and utilizes the “DiscoveryClient” to search for them. • A Service is a WCF service that has endpoints which can be discovered. A Service adds a ServiceDiscoveryBehavior in the service host description, which enables it to respond to find requests from clients. A service may also host an announcement client if it wants to announce itself.  • A Discovery Proxy is a centralized repository that knows about services. It is not required. • Find/Resolve • A client can find a service based on criteria such as the service type. It can send out a Probe message to which the recipient of the probe, either a service or a proxy, responds back to the client with the appropriate service metadata. • A resolve can be used to find a service based on its endpoint address. • Announcements • Services can announce themselves to the network and clients can be configured to listen for such announcements
