我的WCF之旅(2):Endpoint Overview

WCF实际上是构建了一个框架,这个框架实现了在互联系统中各个Application之间如何通信。使得Developers和Architect在构建分布式系统中,无需再考虑如何去实现通信相关的问题,更加关注与系统的业务逻辑本身。而在WCF Infrastructure中,各个Application之间的通信是由Endpoint来实现的。

 

Endpoint的结构

Endpoint包含以下4个对象:

  • Address: Address通过一个URI唯一地标识一个Endpoint,并告诉潜在的WCF service的调用者如何找到这个Endpoint。所以Address解决了Where to locate the WCF Service?
  • Binding: Binding实现在Client和Service通信的所有底层细节。比如Client与Service之间传递的Message是如何编码的——text/XML, binary,MTOM;这种Message的传递是采用的哪种Transport——TCP, Http, Named Pipe, MSMQ; 以及采用怎样的机制解决Secure Messaging的问题——SSL,Message Level Security。所以Binding解决的是How to communicate with service?
  • Contract: Contract的主要的作用是暴露某个WCF Service所提供的所有有效的Functionality。从Message Exchange的层面上讲,Contract实际上是把每个Operation转化成为相对应的Message Exchange Pattern——MEP(Request/Response; One-way; Duplex)。所以Contract解决的是What functionalities do the Service provide?
  •  Behavior: Behavior的主要作用是定制Endpoint在运行时的一些必要的Behavior。比如Service 回调Client的Timeout;Client采用的Credential type;以及是否支持Transaction等。

当我们Host一个WCF Service的时候,我们必须给他定义一个或多个Endpoint,然后service通过这个定义的Endpoint进行监听来自Client端的请求。当我们的Application需要调用这个Service的时候,因为Client 和Service是通过Endpoint的进行通信的, 所以我们必须为我们的Application定义Client端的Endpoint。只有当Client的Endpoint和Service端某个Endpoint相互匹配(Service端可以为一个Service定义多个Endpoint),Client端的请求才能被Service端监听到。也就是说,我们只有在Client具有一个与Service端完全匹配的Endpoint,我们才能调用这个Service。而这种匹配是比较严格的,比如从匹配Address方面,Client端和Service端的Endpoint Address不仅仅在URI上要完全匹配Service, 他们的Headers也需要相互匹配。对于Binding, 一般地,Client需要有一个与Service端完全一样的Binding,他们之间才能通信。

</client>
  
</system.serviceModel>
 
</configuration>

 

如何在Application中定义Endpoint

对于Self-Host的Service,绝大部分的Endpoint相关的信息都具有两种定义方式——Managed Code 和Configuration。而对于把Service Host到IIS中的情况, Endpoint的信息一般虚拟根目录下的Web.Config中定义。一般的,我们不推荐使用代码的方式Host和调用Service,这主要是基于以下的理由。首先我们开发的环境往往与部署的环境不尽相同,用configuration的方式是我们可以在部署的时候通过修改配置文件以适应新的需要。其次,对于不需要出现新的需要,比如对于一个原来只供Internet内部使用的Service,我们一般会定义一个基于TCP的Endpoint,现在出现来自于Internet的潜在用户,我们只需要通过修改Config文件的方式为这个Service添加一个新的基于Http的Endpoint就可以了。 把Endpoint的信息写在config文件中的优势在于,修改config文件的内容是不需要重新编译和重新部署的。相应的定义方式请参照以上的Sample。

 

下面我们来看看在host 一个Service的时候,置于配置文件的信息是如何起作用的。在上面的例子中我们通过下面一段代码Host一个Serivice(对应得Service Type是GeneralCalculatorService)。

 

using (ServiceHost calculatorSerivceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(GeneralCalculatorService)))
{              
        calculatorSerivceHost.Opened += delegate
         {
              Console.WriteLine("Calculator Service has begun to listen  ");
          };
         calculatorSerivceHost.Open();
         Console.Read();
}

 


下面是Service相关的配置信息: 

<services>
            
<service behaviorConfiguration="calculatorServieBehavior" name="Artech.WCFService.Service.GeneralCalculatorService">
                 
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="Artech.WCFService.Contract.IGeneralCalculator">
                
</endpoint>
                
<endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="Artech.WCFService.Contract.IGeneralCalculator" />
                
<host>
                    
<baseAddresses>
                        
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8888/generalcalculator" />
                        
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:9999/generalCalculator" />
                    
</baseAddresses>
                
</host>
            
</service>
</services>

 

首先我们创建一个ServiceHost对象calculatorSerivceHost,同时指定对用的Service Type 信息(typeof(GeneralCalculatorService))。WCF Infrastructure为在配置文件在Services Section寻找是否有相对用的service定义。在这个例子中,他会找到一个name属性为Artech.WCFService.Service.GeneralCalculatorService的Service。然后他会根据定义在Service中的Endpoint定义为calculatorSerivceHost添加相应的Endpoint。如果有对应的Endpoint Behavior设置存在于配置文件中,这些Behavior也会设置到改Endpoint中。最后调用Open方法,calculatorSerivceHost开始监听来自Client端的请求。

 

Address

每一个Endpoint都必须有一个Address,Address定位和唯一标志一个Endpoint。在Managed code 中,Address由System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress对象来表示。下面是一个Adress的结构:

 

  • URI:指定的Endpoint的Location。URI对于Endpoint是必须的。
  • Identity:当另一个Endpoint与此Endpoint进行消息交互时,可以获取该Identity来Authenticate正在与之进行消息交互的Endpoint是否是它所希望的。Identity对于endpoint是可选的。
  • Headers:Address可以包含一些可选的Headers, 这些header最终会加到相应的Soap Message的Header中。Header存放的多为Address相关的信息,用于进行Addressing Filter。

Address的主要作用就是通过Uri为Service提供一个监听Address。但在某些特殊的场景中,我们可以借助Address的Headers提供一些扩展的功能。在大多数的情况下Client可以直接访问Service,换句话说,如果我们把Message 传递的路径看成是以系列连续的节点(Node)的话,Message直接从Client所在的节点(Node)传递到最终的Service的节点。但在某些情况下,考虑的实现负载平衡,安全验证等因素,我们需要在Client和最终的Service之间加入一些中间节点(Intermediaries),这些中间节点可以在Message到达最终Service Node之前作一些工作,比如为了实现负载平衡,它可以把Message Request分流到不同的节点——Routing;为了在Message达到最终Node之前,验证Client是否是一个合法的请求,他可以根据Message存储的Credential的信息验证该请求——Authentication。


这些Intermediaries操作的一般不会是Message Body的内容(大多数情况下他们已经被加密),而是Message Header内容。他们可以修改Header的内容,也可以加入一些新的Header。所以为了实现Routing,我们需要在Message加入一些Addressing相关的内容,为了实现Authentication我们需要加入Client Credential的信息, 而这些信息都放在Header中。实际上你可以把很多内容加到Header中。


我们可以通过config文件加入这些Header:

<service behaviorConfiguration="calculatorServieBehavior" name="Artech.WCFService.Service.DuplexCalculatorService">
                
<endpoint binding="wsDualHttpBinding" contract="Artech.WCFService.Contract.IDuplexCalculator">
                    
<headers>
                        
<role>admin</role>
                    
</headers>
                
</endpoint>
                
<host>
                    
<baseAddresses>
                        
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:7777/DuplexCalculator" />
                    
</baseAddresses>
                
</host>
            
</service>

 

<client>
      
<endpoint address="http://localhost/WCFService/SessionfulCalculatorService.svc"
        binding
="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="Artech.WCFService.Contract.ISessionfulCalculator" >
<headers>
         
<role>admin</role>
                    
</headers>
                
</endpoint>
    
</client>

Binding

WCF,顾名思义就是实现了分布式系统中各Application之间的Communication的问题。上面我们说过, Client和Service之间的通信完全有他们各自的Endpoint的担当。Address解决了寻址的问题,通过Address,Client知道在哪里可以找到它所希望的Service。但是知道了地址,只是实现的通信的第一步。

 

对于一个基于SOA的分布式系统来说,各Application之间的通信是通过Message Exchange来实现的。如何实现在各个Application之间 进行Message的交互,首先需要考虑的是采用怎样的Transport,是采用Http呢,还是采用TCP或是其他,比如Named Pipe、MSMQ。其次需要考虑的是Message应该采取怎样的编码,是text/XML呢,还是Binary,或是MTOM;此外,对于一个企业级的分布式应用,Security与Robustness是我们必须考虑的问题——我们应该采用Transport Level的Security(SSL)还是Message Level的Security;如何确保我们的Message的传递是可靠的(Reliable Messaging); 如何把在各application中执行的操作纳入同一个事物中(Transaction)。而这一些都是Binding需要解决的问题。所以我们可以说Binding实现了Client和Service通信的所有底层细节。

 

在WCF中,Binding一个Binding Element的集合,每个Binding Element解决Communication的某一个方面。所有的Binding Element大体上可以分为以下3类:

1. Transport Binding Element:实现Communication的Transport选取,每个Binding必须包含一格Transport Element。

2. Encoding Binding Element:解决传递数据的编码的问题,每个Binding必须包含一个Encoding Element,一般由Transport Binding Element来提供。

3. Protocol Binding Element:解决Security,Reliable Messaging和Transaction的问题。

 

下边这个表格列出了Binding中的各个层次结构。
