WCF and SOA
• Suppose you have a CRM System, Accounting
System and Reporting System in place, you will
think of creating a API layer for this Functionality.

• WCF is all about exposing the functionality over

API layer (Service) defined by a contract.

• WCF is Buildup from Ground up level to be a first

class SOA citizen.
Lets discuss that in SOA we
have Little SOA and Big SOA
• Suppose we have a Agency Management System
of a Insurance Company which is Busy in day to
day activities, like providing certificates, issuing
policies, keep track of customer for a particular
customer on a particular Policy.

• There fore “Agency Management System ” that is

small exe but in the backend it has big
activities/functionality like Reporting System with
a separate database, CRM System with a
Separate Table etc.
create a API layer for this Functionality, that’s is exposing the functionality over
ayer defined by a contract. By hiding the crucial details.

ness Tier Components Cordinates the Functionality at Data Tier Level

All the details of access to table and all

hould have a Service that Isolates this Business Tier and Data Tier that

Language.

For Http Protocol

When we say host.open(), it create/opens the
channels for communication and the creates the
Service Description , so at runtime information of
the Protocols, what all End points are available . So
it generates the WSDl document.
And client use the same to create the Proxy.

The service Model Generates the Service Description

Ask client to use svcutil.exe tool,
to generate the Proxy
