  • 0

I created a RESTful service using WCF which calculates some value and then returns a response to the client.

I am expecting a lot of traffic so I am not sure whether I need to manually implement queues or it is not neccessary in order to process all client requests.

Actually I am receiving measurements from clients which have to be stored to the database – each client sends a measurement every 200 ms so if there are a multiple clients there could be a lot of requests.

And the other operation performed on received data. For example a client could send an instruction “give me the average of the last 200 measurements” so it could take some time to calculate this value and in the meantime the same request could come from another client.

I would be very thankful if anyone could give any advice on how to create a reliable service using WCF.

Thanks!

    You could use the MsmqBinding and utilize the method implemented by eedsi9n. However, from what I’m gathering from this post is that you’re looking for something along the lines of a pub/sub type of architecture.

    This can be implemented with the WSDualHttpBinding which allows subscribers to subscribe to events. The publisher will then notify the user when the action is completed.

    Therefore you could have Msmq running behind the scenes. The client subscribes to the certain events, then perhaps it publishes a message that needs to be processed. THe client sits there and does work (because its all async) and when the publisher is done working on th message it can publish an event (The event your client subscribed to) letting you know that its done. That way you don’t have to implement a polling strategy.

    There are pre-canned solutions for this as well. Such as NService Bus, Mass Transit, and Rhino Bus.
