  • Speaking at SOAWorld

    I am at New York this week. I will be speaking tomorrow at SOAWorld about Web Services interoperability; we have some cool demos showing interoperability between WCF and different J2EE-J2SE technologies. If you are in the area or attending to the conference just swing by and we can have a chat.

  • Orcas Durable Services

    Long running WCF Services is another great feature of the new Orcas Beta 1. Implementing durable service is always a combination of persisting the message itself as well as the state of the service. The current version of WCF provides stateful WCF services using sessions. However this feature does not address a lot of the most common enterprise stateful services scenarios on which state of an service instance needs to be persisted to a more robust durable store in order to handle unexpected events like host recycling, server shutdown, etc. Other Microsoft technologies such as BizTalk Server and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) do provide support for long running services. Specifically, WF provides an extensible model based on persistence services that allow developers to create their own mechanisms for persisting the state of a WF instance.

  • Teched demo

    Thanks to all the people who attended to my session at Teched. The sample code and presentation can be downloaded from here. The Before folder contains the template code we used to create the adapter. Similarly, the After folder contains the final code of the adapter.
