GlassFish V2 Beta3 and Vista - Interoperable out-of-the-box

Posted by arungupta on July 10, 2007 at 3:19 PM EDT
GlassFish V2 beta3 is now available. I take this opportune moment for a follow up entry showing how a Reliable WSIT endpoint can be invoked from WCF client and vice versa. WSIT is already integrated in GlassFish V2.

The first part where a WSIT endpoint is invoked by a WCF client is now already available in this entry by Jesus Rodriguez. Couple of points in the entry:

  • The Web Service configuration (a.k.a. WSIT configuration file) is not hand edited. Instead it is conveniently generated by NetBeans IDE as shown in screencast #ws3. The user experience really is to just check mark a box and all the relevant XML fragments are generated by NetBeans.
  • Even though entry requires to rely on SOAP 1.1 (mistyped as WS-Addressing 1.1) , it workes with SOAP 1.2 very well. In fact, I've used SOAP 1.2 in the code below.

This entry provides the code to deploy a Reliable WCF endpoint and invoke it using a WSIT client.

  1. Create a service endpoint service.svc as:

    <%@ServiceHost language=c# Debug="true" Service="WCFReliableEndpoint.Hello" %>

    using System.ServiceModel;

    namespace WCFReliableEndpoint
    {
      [ServiceContract]
       public interface IHello
       {
         [OperationContract]
         string sayHello(string name);
       }

       public class Hello : IHello
       {
         public string sayHello(string name)
         {
           return "Hello " + name;
         }
       }
    }
  2. In the same directory, create Web.config as:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <configuration>
      <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
          <service name="WCFReliableEndpoint.Hello" behaviorConfiguration="MetadataBehavior">
            <endpoint address=""
                      binding="customBinding"
                      bindingConfiguration="Binding1"
                      contract="WCFReliableEndpoint.IHello" />
          </service>
        </services>

        <bindings>
          <customBinding>
            <binding name="Binding1">
              <reliableSession />
                <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12WSAddressing10" writeEncoding="utf-8" />
                <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Anonymous" bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
                  hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                  proxyAuthenticationScheme="Anonymous" realm=""
                  useDefaultWebProxy="true" />
            </binding>
          </customBinding>
        </bindings>

        <behaviors>
          <serviceBehaviors>
            <behavior name="MetadataBehavior">
              <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
            </behavior>
          </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>

      </system.serviceModel>
    </configuration>
  3. If IIS was installed after Vista installation was complete, then you'll have to explicitly register WCF components with IIS following these instructions and as shown below:

  4. Create a virtual directory, say wsit-reliable, in IIS mapping to the directory where service.svc and Web.config are present. You should now see the default WCF/IIS page as below:



    The service endpoint is now hosted at http://localhost/wsit-reliable/service.svc and the WSDL of the endpoint looks like:

  5. Create a WSIT client, using NetBeans IDE, following the instructions in screencast #ws2. Enable WSIT message logging by adding the following property to domains/domain1/config/domain.xml:

    <jvm-options>-Dcom.sun.xml.ws.assembler.client=true</jvm-options>

  6. The SOAP messages exchanged between the WSIT client and the WCF endpoint are given below:

    ============

There were no custom settings or configurations required to make the WSIT client This shows, once again, that GlassFish V2 and .NET 3.0 (pre-bundled in Vista) are interoperable out of the box.
