On my previous MSDN WebCast I showed a demo of how to use a custom WCF protocol channel to combine Workflow Services and durable messaging transports channels like MSMQ. If you watch the recording of the WebCast you can see the entire demo, but there are some things that I would like to highlight about the structure of the channel. Using durable transports with Workflow Services entails some challenges that should be considered carefully. The first thing is related with the OneWay nature of most...( read more ) Read More...

This Wednesday (25 th ) I will be presenting a MSDN WebCast about deep WCF-WF integration techniques . The session is rated 400 which means that I don't intend to spend too much time on PowerPoint :). Instead, I am planning to cover in depth (meaning code...) some of the WCF-WF extensibility mechanisms that facilitate the integration of those two technologies in real world scenarios beyond just Workflow Services. In terms of features, I plan to talk about Workflow Services (of course), Durable Services...( read more ) Read More...

This Wednesday I will be speaking at the Web Services Security Summit in Baltimore, MD. Specificallym my session is about Web Services security patterns and I will be exploring how the principles of claim based security can be applied in trust, federation and other complex security scenarios. Also I plan to cover some of the most common patterns in claims based security. Finally, I will also be participating in a panel about Web Services scalability and manageability moderated by Computer Associates...( read more ) Read More...

In a previous post I explained the importance for traditional integration servers and ESBs to embrace REST as one of the architecture styles used to interact and expose resources. For the simplicity of this post (and to avoid starting a religious war J) I am going to use the term ESB as the generic name to refer to integration and mediation technologies that can interact with RESTful services. So yes, BizTalk Server is going to be an ESB for the next few paragraphs J Erroneously, a lot of developers...( read more ) Read More...
