we currently have an asmx webservice which exposes a single method to make various updates to a Sql database, wrapped internally in a SqlTransaction.

I am re-writing this service in WCF and we would like to split up the existing method into sub-calls accessed through various different WCF services. There is a restriction to use basicHttpBinding on the services, which rules out all the built-in WCF transaction features. Is it possible to go with this architecture and maintain a transaction across multiple service calls? WS-TRANS has been suggested as a possible solution but I’m not familiar with it, would this work?

  1. It’s very rare that you get something for nothing. The chief difference between basicHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding is that the latter supports the WS-* protocols.

    basicHttpBinding gives you what you had with ASMX, more or less. ‘transactions’ would be much more than you had with ASMX.
