Routing multiple wcf services to a single wcf

Question

Hi,

I have to services:

http://localhost/ChorusService/ProcessFirstEntity.svc with method Add

http://localhost/ChorusService/ProcessSecondEntity.svc with method Delete

Now I want to route these requests to another single service

http://localhost/ChorusService/ProcessThirdEntity.svc with a single method

ProcessAny.                                                            Please Help!!

Answer 1

Hello, in this case you can just add service reference to the ProcessThirdEntity in both ProcessFirstEntity and processSecondEntity, and invoke ProcessAny within the other two services' implementation.

No, I am looking for the solution in WCF 4.0 Routing behaviour only.

Answer 3

Do you mean both ProcessFirstEntity.svc and ProcessSecondEntity.svc are routing services? In this case, you can just route everything to ProcessAnyEntity.svc (use a MatchAll filter). But the requirement is a bit strange. Why do you want to use two routing services to route to the same actual service?

Answer 10

I saw your email. When using built-in routing services, you cannot have custom service implementations. So you need to delete the .cs files for your routing service implementation. And modify both routing service's svc file to:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="System.ServiceModel.Routing.RoutingService,System.ServiceModel.Routing, version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %>

This indicates you want to use WCF routing service, not your own service.

In addition, your routing service's web.config has the wrong address:

<client>
   <endpoint address="http://localhost/TempReceiver/Receiver1.svc"
    binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="*" name="ReceiverService1" />
  </client>

But the correct address in your case is: http://localhost:3727/ReceiverService/Receiver1.svc (port may vary).

Finally, you cannot add service reference to the routing services themselves. Routing services do not share the WSDL file with actual services. You have to add service references to the actual service. Then you can use code to construct two client proxies which point to the routing service:

                RouterService1Client client1 = new RouterService1Client(new BasicHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:3725/RoutingService/RouterService1.svc"));
                Item1 data1 = new Item1();
                data1.Field_1 = "Hello Service1";
                data1.Field_2 = "good morning Service1";

                string result1 = client1.GetData1(data1);

                Console.WriteLine(result1);

                RouterService1Client client2 = new RouterService1Client(new BasicHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:3725/RoutingService/RouterService2.svc"));
                Item1 data2 = new Item1();
                data2.Field_1 = "Hello Service1";
                data2.Field_2 = "good morning Service1";

                string result2 = client1.GetData1(data2);

                Console.WriteLine(result2);

The above code is sending requests to your routing services instead of the actual service. Since you only have a single actual service, you cannot have two different contracts. Routing service doesn't allow you to modify contracts. If you want to use contracts that do not exist in the actual service (say, Item2), you cannot use routing service. You have to build a normal WCF service without any routing features.
