1 Overview of the WCF LOB SDK

2 Demo – SqlBinding

3 Enterprise LOB and Generic Scenarios

4 Architecture of the SDK

5 Demo - SalesForceBinding

What is the WCF LOB SDK?Free Toolkit from Microsoft based on WCF

custom bindingsProvides client manageability, usability

improvements for using custom bindingsLOB = [classic ERP] datasource Can be used for any system that needs to

provide metadata or context to developersArchitectural foundation for BizTalk Adapter

Pack

What is provided?VS client-side integrationWizards for creating custom binding adapters

(Code gen)Metadata explorerWCF Service wrapper extensionSDK, samplesAdd custom binding to machine.config codeSetup project example

Example of a custom binding (WCF)<configuration> <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <customBinding> <binding name="myBinding"> <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11" /> <httpTransport /> </binding> </customBinding> </bindings>

<services> <service behaviorConfiguration="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1Behavior"

Demo - Using the SqlBinding in VS 2008ObservationsWizard-like form similar to Add Service RefObject browser enables quick selection of

datasource objectsAfter wizard executes, new proxy class addedDataContracts created for parameters,

resultsWhen used with BizTalk, XSDs are generatedProxy generation options like with SvcUtil

Agenda






Enterprise LOB ScenarioEnterprise system storing data: SAP, Oracle,

PeopleSoft, Siebel, CRM, etc.System-specific formats, connectivity,

supporting infrastructureWCF LOB SDK provides foundation for

custom bindings/adapters based on your code:Example: Custom Oracle binding from WCF

LOB SDK + ODP.Net APIsWCF LOB SDK service wrapper acts as

protocol transition/bridge layer

Generic Datasource ScenarioLOB<T> where T : YourDataSourceFoundation for exposing data or O/R layerMiddle tier service layerCSLA service layerAPI obfuscation

Other Uses for the SDKClient for connecting to ESB or SOA

Agenda






Demo – SalesForce CustomBindingWhy create a SalesForce binding?No supported SalesForce VS extension currently was

availableSalesForce provides REST and SOAP APIs but has

specialized implementationAsync operations only exposed on REST, would be

useful if called via SOAP and bridged from RESTWhat does this demonstrate?Property grid customizations make for better UI

Experience.NET invocation helpful for BizTalkLittle code required to generate proxy, XSDs

Comparing WCF LOB with BizTalkWCF LOB SDK BizTalkCustom Binding centricCustom Bindings shown

in Add Adapter Service wizard

.NET project: add adapter service

Generates client proxy

Adapter centricCustom Bindings shown

in WCF-Custom adapterBizTalk project: Add

generated items \ consume adapter service

Generates BizTalk schema, binding file

Comparing Adapter ModelsAdapter Framework Adapter WCF LOB SDK AdapterNo built-in code genLimited VS integrationSimpler development

integrationMore complicated
