  3. Agenda • What’s new in WCF 4? • Default endpoints • Default bindings and behaviors • Recommendations for defaults • What is Windows Server AppFabric? • Simplified WCF configuration and troubleshooting

  4. Who Is This Session For?

  5. WCF 4 • WCF 4 released April 2010 • Part of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 • WCF 4 enhancements • Configuration defaults, default endpoints • High performance tracing with ETW • New features for REST-based services • Queued messaging enhancements • WCF Workflow Services • New protocols • Basic Profile 1.2 • WS-Discovery and DiscoveryService • RouterService • New DataContractResolver, extensibility Our focus + AppFabric

  6. Is WCF Hard?

  7. ASMX and WCF 4 • ASMX • Generate a web service class, modify namespace • Expose web methods • Use complex types, serialize public members • Generate web reference (proxy) • Create proxy and call methods • WCF 4 • Generate a service interface and class, modify namespace • Expose service operations • Use complex types, serialize public members (POCO) • Generate service reference (proxy) • Create proxy and call operations

  8. WCF Simplified DEMO

  9. ASMX Equivalence In WCF 4 • POCO types introduced with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 • No need to produce data contracts or serializable types for WCF • WCF 4 introduces features to simplify the ASMX equivalent path • Protocol mappings • Default endpoints • Default bindings and behaviors

  10. Protocol Mappings • Protocol mappings match • Protocol scheme • Binding • Binding configuration (default “”) • Binding defaults are provided by the service model • NOTE: See Machine.config.comments

  11. Default Endpoints • Generate one endpoint per base address, per contract • Only one base address per protocol (http, net.tcp, net.pipe, net.msmq) • IIS-hosting • Base address is .svc endpoint • HTTP protocol provided by default • Protocols added in IIS Manager • Self-hosting • Supply base address per protocol in config or code • Explicitly call ServiceHost.CreateDefaultEndpoints() • MetadataExchange endpoint added by default • Supports proxy generation

  12. Default Endpoints DEMO

  13. Are default endpoints a good thing?

  14. Default Endpoints • Feel good ASMX-equivalent experience • No need to touch configuration • Administer protocols via IIS Manager • However… • Default bindings usually require some tweaking • BasicHttpBinding is pretty close, could be quota issues • Might want to map HTTP to WSHttp or WebHttp • Developer ultimately has to come up with the right binding configuration • Sometimes want/need more control over endpoints • Which contracts exposed over multiple protocols • Suppressing metadata endpoints (Look ma! I can do WCF!)

  15. Default Bindings and Behaviors • Supply better defaults in the machine or application config • Protocol mappings • Map http protocol to WS2007HttpBinding or WebHttpBinding • And then use default binding • Binding configurations • Provide new defaults for each binding • Behaviors • Provide a default service behavior • All services must share settings

  16. What makes a better default?

  17. Default Bindings And Behaviors DEMO

  18. Default Bindings and Behaviors • Heavily influenced by security model • Common scenarios: • Classic Intranet • Anonymous over HTTP • Anonymous over HTTPS/SSL • UserName over SSL • UserName for Certificate • Trusted subsystem / Windows or Certificate • Federated identity

  19. WCF 4 Templates http://wcf4templates.codeplex.com DEMO

  20. Recommendations: Endpoints, Bindings and Behaviors • Automatic endpoints, default bindings and default behaviors are very useful for early prototyping and productivity • You will necessarily make adjustments for protocol requirements • Unless all you want is ASMX • You will control endpoints • Visibility • Not all contracts may be exposed over all protocols • You may choose a few default bindings per protocol • Configure in application config (visibility) • Allow default configuration to be used per endpoint • You may be able to share service behaviors across services • If security behavior is equivalent

  21. Configuring WCF Services • For developers • Easier with default endpoints, default bindings, default behaviors • Easier with templates illustrating recommended practices • For IT • How does IT know to adjust relevant settings? • What tools can they use?

  22. Troubleshooting WCF Services • For developers • Exceptions during development • Enable trace in configuration • Test again • Search through trace logs (cumbersome) • Difficult to resolve problems involving multiple service calls • For IT • File-based logs inefficient • Performance counters are heavy • May not be able to reproduce issue • Need a way to control monitoring and diagnostic settings • Must not affect system performance

  23. Windows Server AppFabric • Technologies for deploying, managing and scaling applications deployed on Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 • Manage and monitor services and workflows via IIS Manager and Windows PowerShell (formerly codename “Dublin”) • Distributed in-memory cache (formerly codename “Velocity”) • AppFabric and WCF • Empowers the IT role • Through dashboard can access necessary WCF configuration • Provides immediate visibility into application metrics • Enable monitoring and diagnostics • Leverages high performance ETW tracing • View relevant execution statistics

  24. Configuring WCF and WF Settings • Per machine, disable metadata browsing • Per application, enable as desired • Enable or disable metadata endpoints

  25. Configuring WCF and WF Settings • Per machine, enable Health Monitoring • Per application, use Troubleshooting as needed • Enable message logging as needed • NOTE: can customize profiles!

  26. Configuring WCF and WF Settings • Per machine, disable auto-start to conserve resources • Per application, likely to opt-in depending on availability requirements • Required for services hosted with the Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus

  27. Configuring WCF and WF Settings • Per machine, set defaults for throttling • Per application, may require adjustments for load • Throttles are very important to WCF service scalability and throughput! • WCF 4 throttling defaults are much better

  28. Configuring WCF and WF Settings • Per machine, not likely to set certificate • Per web site, good place to set default cert for site • Per application, may adjust per application

  29. WCF and Windows Server AppFabric DEMO

  30. Summary • WCF can be as easy as ASMX • If you don’t need additional features • WCF 4 simplifies configuration • Reduced footprint • Centralize defaults (and customize them) • AppFabric provides useful administrative and troubleshooting tools • IT administrator can configure appropriate settings • Developers can troubleshoot code locally, more easily • Easier to track down issues on production servers
