  1. Distributed Communication via ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting By Richard King

  2. What are ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting? • Two new technologies provided in the .Net Framework for developing distributed applications. • ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting replace: • Microsoft’s DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) • Java RMI (Remote Machine Invocation) • CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)

  3. Definitions • ASP.Net Web Services: provides a simple API (Application Programming Interface) for Web services based on mapping SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages to method invocations. • .Net Remoting: provides an infrastructure for distributed objects. It exposes the full-object semantics of .NET to remote processes using plumbing that is both very flexible and extensible.

  4. .Net Remoting • A tight coupled client and server approach to distributed communication. • Supports the communication of a full feature set of data types. • .Net Remoting has support for passing objects by value or by reference, callbacks, and multiple-object activation and lifecycle management policies. • Similar to Java’s RMI.

  5. .Net Service Architecture

  6. ASP.Net Web Services • Works by exposing APIs called web methods via HTTP. • Web Methods provide a service to the end user. • Enables cross platform integration using XML, HTTP and SOAP. • Using industry standards makes Web Services independent of programming languages and platforms.

  7. ASP.Net Web Services Cont… • WSDL (Web Service Discription Language): exposes web methods, protocols supported, signatures of methods and web service location. • DISCO (short for discovery): Microsoft technology for publishing and discovering web services. • UDDI (Universal Description and Discovery Integration): specification for building distributed databases that provide parties a way to “discover” web services.

  8. ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting Compared. • Protocol: • ASP.Net Web Services only provides access via HTTP. Data is formatted in a SOAP packets. • .Net Remoting provides access via TCP, HTTP and custom protocols. Data can be formatted as binary or SOAP packets.

  9. ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting Compared Cont… • States: • ASP.Net Web Services is a stateless environment. • .Net Remoting can be a stateful and stateless environment. • Client Activation • Under the control of lease-based lifetime manager. • Lease-times ensure that the objects are garbage collected when the lease time expires. Lease-times are set by extending the MarshalByRefObject class and implementing the ILease interface inside of MarshalByRefObject . • Server Activation • Stateless mode • SingleCall: creates a new instance of the remoting object for each request. • Stateful mode • Singleton: creates only one instance of an object that is used for all requests.

  10. ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting Compared Cont… • Interoperability: • ASP.Net Web Services works with industry standards to provide high levels of interoperability. This allows for ASP.Net Web Services to work in a heterogeneous environments. • .Net Remoting supplies a tightly coupled form of distributed communication. Clients must be implement with the .Net Framework. The tight coupling causes .Net Remoting to be implemented in a homogeneous environment.

  12. ASP.Net Web Services and .Net Remoting within the .Net Framework

  13. Sample ASP.Net Web Service • using System; • using System.Collections; • using System.ComponentModel; • using System.Data; • using System.Diagnostics; • using System.Web; • using System.Web.Services; • namespace Example • { • public class Example: System.Web.Services.WebService • { • [WebMethod] • public String SayHello() • { • return "Hello"; • } • } • }

  14. Future of Distributed Computing and .Net Framework 2.0 • .Net Remoting will transfer to Indigo Services. • Indigo services will allow for the transfer of objects without sharing .Net assemblies.
