Summary


In this chapter, we have learned and clarified many concepts related to SOA, web services, and WCF. The key points in this chapter are:

  • SOA is an architectural design pattern

  • Web services are the most popular and practical way of realizing SOA today

  • There are many standards and specifications for web services, including (but not limited to) WSDL, SOAP, WS-I Profiles, and various WS-* standards

  • WCF is a better technology for developing SOA services

  • A WCF service has at least one service endpoint

  • A WCF service endpoint has an address, a binding, and a service contract

  • A WCF service can be self-hosted or can be hosted in a managed or an unmanaged application

  • A WCF service can publish metadata and communicates with client applications through channels

  • .NET Framework 3.0 or above is required to develop and run WCF service applications

  • Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 are the preferred IDEs for WCF service application development
