Is there a framework that supports publishing (pushing) messages from a WCF service (REST or SOAP) to various clients like IPhone, Android and WP7? I’m thinking I can use the WSDualHttpBinding to do dual communication between WCF and WP7. However, I’m assuming WSDualHttpBinding is not supported in the other two platforms since is not a WS-* standard and there’s a lot of stuff that WCF does to establish a receiving channel on the client side. Is there any other way to accomplish this? How would I about rolling my own?
I’m thinking about exposing my WCF service as a restful endpoint and implement a COMET style pub/sub and calling it good.
I’m stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I found this “Cloud to Device Messaging”, C2DM, yesterday and thought it may serve your question:
