i wonder if there is a way to specifiy a custom ServiceHost (i.e. a ServiceHost derived class) in configuration?
thanks
I don't think you need to specify anything in a config file in order to use a custom ServiceHost. I haven't tried to do that before, but I see nothing in the config file that would specify information about the ServiceHost.
Here's a web page on MSDN titled "Custom Service Host."
Hopefully some of that helps!
Yes we have just come across this pain too, we wanted to have different endpoints on the ServiceHost, which on the client side is dead simply you just pass in the Endpoint you want when creating the ChannelFactory, however on the server side this is not so simple.
I agree the above you need to create a Custom Service Host and override the ApplyConfiguration() method.
There is an excellent example of doing this here : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wcf/thread/3af366c1-3b11-42e6-85a4-ea63cd48be18/
Hope it helps

I've gone through all the documentation and examples of setting up NServiceBuse in NetCore, however, all the examples have the configuration being done in the Program.cs (Host.CreateDefaultBuilder().UseNServiceBus()).
I would like to know if I can configure NServiceBus in the ConfigureServices method of Program.cs.
The reason is that in the HostBuilder I'm building up all of the IConfiguration options (e.g. reading from appsettings.json, EnvironmentVariables, AzureKeyVault, ConfigMaps, etc.) and the Logger implementation. By the time ConfigureServices is called, all of those have been resolved. I need to be able to get things like connection strings from the IConfiguration, and so I don't believe it will work to do it in the HostBuilder.
It looks like a lot of work might be being done under the covers to inject the IMessageSession and scan for IHandlMessages instances. That should be able to be done in the Service.
Edit: Forgot to add, because it is in the Program.cs and we are using Serilog, I do not have a LoggerFactory. The LoggerFactory is registered and injected by the Services, but I cannot get it at this point in startup.
Looks like this isn't an option. I was able to have a workaround to get it all working, which is just to put it in the Program() and just make sure it is called after all the other configuration is done. It doesn't seem ideal and seem to be an anti-pattern from where netcore 3 is going.
I'd like to add that this is a poor design choice. I should be able to register my stuff in startup and package scanning shouldn't be happening.
This is a neat project, but I think that for any non-trivial development it may be left lacking.
The reason is that I would like to have a web host with multiple endpoints and I cannot do that without running two full instances (https://docs.particular.net/samples/hosting/generic-multi-hosting/).
My workflow is
message comes in to do all the work
message #1 starts a saga with 100+ messages
each message publishes an update that it is done, so that the UI can check the status of the Saga
The messages from #3 are not handled until all 100+ messages are processed (FIFO).
What I'm wanting to do is have a second queue (we're using Azure service bus) to listen for the worker updates on and update the UI.
Although you already have a workaround I have build a similar setup as you described with with Serilog as logger and NServiceBus. You can access the configuration in Program.cs like so:
public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder() =>
Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
.ConfigureAppConfiguration()
.UseSerilog()
.UseNServiceBus(c => NServiceBusSetup.Configure(c.Configuration, c.HostingEnvironment))
In the self made method NServiceBus.Configure you can setup your endpoint.
how can i get the WcfFacility to make my service Per call, I have tried
Component.For<IService1>().ImplementedBy<Service1>().AsWcfService(new DefaultServiceModel()).LifeStyle.PerWcfOperation()
however when I run the WCF Test client with out the "create new proxy" box ticked it does not run the ctor everytime.
please help
bones
(ps this is not same issue as the other post of mine, that is still an issue too)
Shiraz pointed out a way which I was aware of however knowning castle does lifeStyle management of PerCall and PerSession, i was hoping for a way which did not include the default attributes.
I recently changed the line of code in the question to
Component.For<IService1>().ImplementedBy<Service1>().ActAs(new DefaultServiceModel().Hosted()).LifeStyle.PerWcfOperation()
which resulted in a PerCall (on my machine). Would be very interested if this was the intended behaviour
Have you specified percall at the service definition:
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
class MyService : IMyContract {...}
I have a sharp architecture project and I am making use of ApplicationServices in it as well.
There is requirement to provide a winform client that will use a wcf service. The wcf service will in turn use the ApplicationServices. I have not started working on the winform client yet but I am working on the wcf service.
Following the Northwind sample. I have created a "Wcf Service library" project and a "Wcf Service Application" project in my solution.
I am new to wcf but i know all the basics and have worked with web services alot in the past. I have following questions:-
1) I would like to know why there is a need of two projects, wcf library and wcf application?
2) I have noticed that the ITerritoriesWcfService interface in the Northwind sample inherits ICloseableAndAbortable.
public interface ITerritoriesWcfService : ICloseableAndAbortable
What is the purpose of ICloseableAndAbortable?
3) There is another class TerritoriesWcfServiceClient
public partial class TerritoriesWcfServiceClient : ClientBase<ITerritoriesWcfService>, ITerritoriesWcfService
What is the purpose of this class?
4) In the TerritoriesService.svc file, what is the purpose of Factory="SharpArch.Wcf.NHibernate.ServiceHostFactory, SharpArch.Wcf" ? Usually in a normal wcf service application, I use codebehind attribute, but since the .cs file actually resides int the wcf service library project, I would like to know what following code is doing?
<%# ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true"
Service="Northwind.Wcf.TerritoriesWcfService"
Factory="SharpArch.Wcf.NHibernate.ServiceHostFactory, SharpArch.Wcf" %>
Even if I remove the above Factory attribute, I can still run the service app project and test the service using WcfTestClient utility.
6) When i run my service and using WcfTestClient If I run a method twice that accesses a repository, then on the second call, I get an ObjectDisposedException.
{"Session is closed!\r\nObject name: 'ISession'."}
I believe the NHibernate Session is getting disposed after the first call. How can reinitialise for each call or should I keep it open? I would like to know the best practice?
7) Also If I run the Northwind.Wcf.Web project and click on TerritoriesService.svc
file on the Directory Listing screen, I get the following error
{"Method 'Generate' in type 'Northwind.Data.NHibernateMaps.AutoPersistenceModelGenerator' from assembly 'Northwind.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.":"Northwind.Data.NHibernateMaps.AutoPersistenceModelGenerator"}
I don't understand why is it throwing this error, when i already got the method and the Northwind.Web works fine too.

1) Strictly, you can combine the WCF library and the WCF application
in one assembly. This would mean that you would combine the contracts
and the implementations in one assembly.
If you are using svcutil.exe or Visual Studio (which uses svcutil.exe
in turn) to generate proxy classes for your client, you'd be fine
because the proxy classes are generated from discovery of your
services.
If however, you want to use your own classes for transport, which is
quite common in DTO scenarios and the like, you'd need to reference a
shared library from both the client and the server. If that shared
library would be your combined library/application assembly, the
client would get the application implementation in scope (because it
references the assembly that contains the contracts) and that's really
not something you'd want. The client needs to know as little as
possible about the server, just as much as the contracts expose --
that's what the contracts are for in the first place.
I think it is best practice to separate interfaces/contracts from
implementation anyway because it leads to better separation of
concerns. It's just that most parts of your solution don't need (and
shouldn't) know HOW something is done, just WHAT that something can
do. There are many more advantages over this, such as improved
testability.
2) Taken from the code documentation of ICloseableAndAbortable:
"When implemented by your WCF contracts, they are then interchangable
with WCF client proxies. This makes it simpler to use dependency
injection and to mock the WCF services without having to worry about
if it's a WCF client when you go to close/abort it.".
I think that says it all.
3) The client class is, like the code documentation says, a strongly
typed client proxy. It can be used by clients to talk to the server,
providing a strongly typed class that has members that correspond to
the service operations that can be called on the server.
The advantage of this class is that you don't need to use the
svcutil.exe generated proxy classes. This what they mean by not having
to configure it via WCF configuration. This allows you to ship proxy
classes to your clients so they can immediately talk to your server
instead of generating proxy classes first. It allows for more control
as well, changing the code that is generated by the proxy class is
really not something you'd want to do.
This again is a good reason to put the interfaces/contracts in a
separate assembly because you don't want to ship the service
implementation code to your clients.
4) The service host factory creates a service instance based on the
provided service type. This can come in handy if you want to put the
service code somewhere other than in the code behind file. You'd also
need it if you are using Depency Injection, you'd provide the service
contract interface as the type and the SharpArch.Wcf service host
factory resolves it to the correct implementation class type by means
of the DI framework (Castle Windsor in SA). You can think of this as a
means of getting hold of a service implementation while not caring
about where it actually is coming from.
In this case, the service will run when you remove the factory
attribute, because the default factory is able to resolve the service
type. You're bypassing on stuff like DI and session management though,
exactly that what makes SA valueable.
5) I'll have to skip this one because apparently there is no question number 5 :-)
6) As in the Northwind sample project, you are probably using the ServiceHostFactory that comes with SA. With this service host factory, each created service instance is extended by a behavior that closes the NHibernate session directly after it's called. That okay by itself but chances are that your proxy clients are not managed in a transient way by Castle Windsor. Therefore instances get reused, including the closed sessions they (still) contain. Decorate your client proxy classes with the Transient attribute (Castle.Core.TransientAttribute) and Castle Windsor will create a fresh instance every time a service call is performed.
Apparently, there is a second way to solve this but it requires modification of the S#arpArchitecture code base. See WCF connections which process more than one request fail because the nhibernate session is closed and isn't re-opened. on GitHub.
7) I'm sorry, I seriously have no idea. I might look into this later.
Is it possible when using slsvcutil.exe to generate a proxy through the command line not to have the proxy file output the Interface in an Asynchronous fashion.
For example, if I have a function "foo()" on the serverside in the Interface, when I generate the proxy using Slsvcutil.exe, it makes two functions in the interface definition in the proxy named "BeginFoo()" and "EndFoo()".
All I want is "Foo()", I don't need the other two methods.
Is this possible? I'm using the proxy with Monotouch which is why I need to use Slsvcutil.exe but don't need the Asynchronous methods.
Thanks!
Turns out the Asynch methods are needed on the iPhone making this a moot question.
You can try to copy the ServiceReference from a Visual Studio Project and use the Interface and write the Servie and ServiceChannel maualy. Like: Monotouch/WCF: How to consume the wcf service without svcutil
But it's without svcutil and need some more work
I have a silverlight project that calls into a wcf service. Everything works fine on my local machine.
However when I deploy to a virtual machine, with the exact same query the wcf service returns, but the result is empty.
I've tried debugging, but have not been able to get it to break in the wcf service.
Any ideas what the problem could be, or how I could go about debugging it?
Thanks
I figured out what the problem is, but am not sure what the solution is.
In my silverlight project the wcf service I am referencing is http://localhost/.../SilverlightApiService.svc
I used fiddler on my vm to see the request that was made and instead of trying to contact the above service, it was trying to contact:
http:///.../SilverlightApiService.svc
So, for some reason my machine name is getting inserted in there instead of localhost. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I had this exact problem when deploying to amazon ec2 - The machine name for the service was being returned in the wsdl rather than the dns.
There were a couple solutions (one involved creating static wsdl - yuck!)
But the other was creating a sort of factory pattern for the service

The slight downfall with this is that although it works - if you change the location of the server, you will need to remember to update your config - Which although isn't hard, it's easy to forget to do.
Can you give us a bit more information? What kind of binding are you using? What does the service config and the client config look like? Where do you get your data from that gets returned? Could it be the service on the VM just doesn't get any data? (e.g. queries a database that just doesn't have the data requested?)

I have had that happen before. I would try this. Set you start page as the web service file and run the app. Then set the start page back to your default page. Then update all the server references in your SL project. Recompile everything and republish. This has helped me a bunch of times in the past.
I figured it out.
Basically my machine name was hard coded in my ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file in my silverlight project.
What I had to do was specify programmatically what url to use for the service reference when instantiating my service client:
System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(new Uri
(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../WebServices/SilverlightService.svc"));
ServiceClient serviceClient = new ServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_IService", address);
I figured out what the problem is, but am not sure what the solution is.
In my silverlight project the wcf service I am referencing is http://localhost/.../SilverlightService.svc
I used fiddler on my vm to see the request that was made and instead of trying to contact the above service, it was trying to contact:
http:///.../SilverlightService.svc
