I have WCF service that is hosted in IIS.
I need to initialize once several things that will exists through all calls to the services.
Where is the appropriate place to make those initializations ?
Thanks for assistance .
Use constructor (either that of BaseService or actual service class) to initialize these properties
Bear in mind that when WCF service is configured for Per-Call instance mode, Service instance will be created for each client request
If is not strictly needed don’t use any Singleton strategy:
Singleton WCF services should hardly ever be used- Singletons are the enemy of scalability! They only make sense in weird scenarios- logging to a single file, a single communications port or hardware device.
