Making WCF Output a single WSDL file for interop purposes.
By default, when WCF emits a WSDL definition for your services, it can often contain many links to others related schemas that need to be imported. For the most part, this is fine. WCF clients understand this type of schema without issue, and it conforms to the requisite standards as far as WSDL definitions go.
WCF and Concurrent usage throttling
Have a requirement to interface with a legacy system that exposes a set of web services. The legacy system is not terribly fast and there are concerns by the client that it cannot handle excessive load. It seems to handle the current load ok, but we have been tasked with writing a system which will interface directly with the legacy system and potentially increase that load substantially. I can neither confirm nor deny the legacy systems ability to handle our projected load as the metrics simply are not available and its not feasible to generate them at this time.
ASP.NET Podcast - Show #94 - WCF, Client Side
WCF Client Channel Pool - Improved Client Performance
Not long ago, I posted about WCF client performance and some work I have been doing around improving that with a "Channel Pool" type implementation.
Well its finally ready for some public consumption. You can grab the code here. (http://www.theglavs.com/DownloadItem.aspx?FileID=55)
You can grab the download from here. Its very "apha" at this point and my testing has been limited, but it has been showing consistently beter results than using a standard ClientBase proxy class in WCF.
So first a quick usage example:
public class MyProxy : ClientBasePool<ISomeInterface>, ISomeInterface
public void MyInterfaceMethod(string s)
}And you use it as you normally would:
MyProxy prox = new MyProxy();
prox.Close();And thats it. The same way you would use a normal ClientBase proxy class.
Using this proxy class will typically yield better performance by approx. 20%-50% by optimising the client side of the communication process.
What it Does.
Using the ClientBasePool proxy class will utilise a pool of pre-opened channels behind the scenes. Negotiating the WS-SecureConversation is expensive, so this class manages a pool of channels, that have already done this negotiation before hand, in the background on a separate, low priority thread.
The pool will automatically get refilled in the background (on a separate thread) as channels are removed from the pool. In its default configuration, the pool has a size of 50, and a maximum of 126. The pool is refilled when a "threshold" value is hit. By default this is half the pool size, ie. 25. So when there are 25 or less channels in the pool, the process refills to pool with pre-opened channels.
Additionally, the channels will periodically be checked to see when they were opened, and if they exceed a pre-defined time period . If so, they are closed and removed from the pool. This is also done in the background on a separate thread. Think of this as the Garbage collector process. This is to prevent clients using a channel from the pool that may have been opened half an hour ago, after which the security conversation is not valid (token expired) and the channel is faulted when using it. This process will pro-actively close and remove end-of-life channels, and the refill process will kick in if requied. By default, the channels have a "life" of 90 seconds and are considered end of life after that. The clean up process runs (by default) every 45 seconds to check the pool. This is half of the channels life period.
All these settings are configurable.
My previous post shows some performance tests I initially did. I also did a more recent one using a 20,000 call test for a standard ClientBase proxy, my ClientBasePool proxy, and a comparative test using a single proxy for all calls. The results are:
Normal Proxy (ClientBase): 6:31:647
My Channel Pool ClientPoolBase Proxy: 4:48:618
Single Proxy: 1:5:522You can see that my ClientBasePool took 4 minutes and 48 seconds compared to a standard proxy time of 6 seconds and 31 seconds. Not huge, but still a significant difference. Obviously, the times are far longer than using a single proxy only (without creating a new proxy for each set of service calls) with a time of 1 minute and 5 seconds.
1. I have only tested this using the wsHttpBinding. I think that the netTcp binding wont really need it or wont benefit that much because of increased performance of the protocol. However, it may benefit somewhat, just haven't tried it.
2. Its early days and my time is limited so extensive testing is not possible. If you use it and have an issue, let me know. I'd love to hear about it.
3. During idle times, this channel pool will be periodically closing channels that have expired, and re-opening new ones in preparation for them to be used. Obviously this is extra traffic where there may be none at all.
4. This is NOT faster than using one single proxy class that is held statically for all your service calls. if you can do that, and manage the timeout issues and whatever, then that will easily be the fastest option.
Configuration and Usage
You dont need to set anything explicitly to make this work, but you can change it to better suit your needs.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel.ChannelPool
Main Classes to use (among others):
ClientBasePool : The proxy class to use which interacts with the ChannelPoolFactory and the ChannelPool to get the job done.
ChannelPool : The Channel Pool implementation for each chanel. Normally you should not have to interact directly with this class.
ChannelPoolFactory : Takes care of instantiating and destroying ChannelPool instances for a channel/service interface. To initialise a channel pool and start off the processing threads use:
To destroy a channel pool and terminate all background threads, use:
Configuration Options:
All Configuration options exist in a class called (not surprisingly) Config. I haven't setup reading from a configuration file or anything like that. I'll let the specific implementation take care of that.
The properties in this class of relevance are:
PoolSize : Defaults to 50. The capacity of the channel pool. Max 127. The refill thresold is automatically set to half of the pool capacity, so by default, when 25 channels or less exist in the pool, the refill process is triggered to refill it.
PoolRefillTrigger: Defaults to 25. This value determines how low the pool can get before a refill is triggered. When a new size is set for the PoolSize, then this value automatically gets adjusted to half of the PoolSize.
ChannelLifetime: Defaults to 90 seconds. Channels are closed and removed from the pool after this time.
CleanupInterval: Defaults to half of the ChannelLifetime, ie. 45 seconds. When a new ChannelLifetime period is set, this value is automatically set to approximately half the ChanelLifetime period.
System.ServiceModel.ChannelPool.Config.PoolSize = 100;
System.ServiceModel.ChannelPool.Config.ChannelLifetime = 300;Final Notes:
There is a console application included in the source that I used for some testing. I chopped and changed this many times to try different tests so its a bit of a mess, but not too complex.
I have cleaned up the code somewhat but there are still bits and pieces lying around. I'll get to them. Happy for people to point them out to me though.
Love to hear any feedback.
Remember, grab it from here.
WCF Client Performance
One of the easiest performance traps when using WCF services is constant creation of new client proxies when accessing those services. In WSE land, this was common place:
WCF Performance Whitepaper - realistic?
I recently looked through a WCF Performance whitepaper published by Microsoft and was a little puzzled by some of the comparisons.
WCF Proxy Performance vs WSE V3
Recently, I had been asked to examine a situation where WSE V3 service calls were substantially quicker than the equivalent WCF version.

The exquisitely curated Spoleto Festival brings, for two-plus weeks every May, top music, dance, and performance to the city, as it has since 1977, and has settled into a comfortable middle age; it's no longer the all-consuming social phenomenon it was in the 1980's, when Charleston was smaller, but nevertheless Spoleto is a large part of why the city has risen to become such a tourism powerhouse.
Tourism has, in fact, been the number one industry in Charleston since the 1980's, and, as ever, residents can be overheard in polite company grousing about the hordes while bragging about their own house's placement in the upcoming house-tour season. (It's complicated.)
The latest flash point for debate, though, centers on the cruise ships that anchor at the very heart of downtown. Can our infrastructure handle the strain of an all-inclusive, 1,000-room hotel mooring at the foot of Market Street? Can the valuable fisheries offshore handle the effluent? Charleston owes so much of its aesthetic appeal to having been an innovator in preservation law in the 1930's; can we lead the country in sustainable cruise-ship practices?
On a recent wintry Monday, Celebrity Cruise Lines' Mercury was berthed, its double black chimney looming above the steeples of the city. But we were headed to the Restoration on King, an intimate new boutique hotel that itself embodies the story of recession-era Charleston. The site, two 19th-century storefront buildings on King Street, was originally developed for luxury condos but by the time the renovation was complete, the market for seven-figure apartments had vanished. Instead, the investors converted the property into a completely new kind of accommodation for Charleston: 16 modern, apartment-style suites that embrace the texture—weathered brick walls; expansive windows—of early-American commercial-district architecture. Looking out over the storefronts on King Street, we had a sense we'd been in the place before. And then it dawned on us that we had: just a few years ago, our rooms had been part of our friend Will Milner's painting studio. Back then, Will had borrowed an entire floor of the building, rent-free, from a friend in real estate.
If the time when a friend might loan a painter 3,000 prime square feet in downtown Charleston has passed, the climate for visual artists working in the city has steadily improved. One incubator for the new art scene here is Redux Contemporary Art Center, which offers subsidized studio space and printmaking and darkroom facilities to local artists of all stripes. On a recent Saturday, an open-studio day, the place was a hive of activity, each artist having turned his or her modest studio into an exhibition. Gallerygoers visited with artists, gathered pensively around a sculpture by Greg Stewart featuring wheelbarrows and trophy bucks, and attended an impromptu class in screen-printing handmade cards.
For much of the 20th century, the successful artists in town were painters in the tradition of Elizabeth O'Neill Verner and Alfred Hutty, whose Japanese-influenced watercolor landscapes and genre scenes defined the style of the Charleston Renaissance (and whose prints were once the ne plus ultra in souvenirs). Hutty's most talented student was William Halsey, who became an abstract painter over the course of his career, and for whom the recently completed Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is named. A number of small independent contemporary art galleries—Eye Level Art and Rebekah Jacob Gallery—have opened in the past few years, concurrent with the rise of Charleston's most acclaimed artist of recent vintage, Shepard Fairey, the creator-provocateur behind the Obama hope poster. We knew him as "Shep" back when he built a skateboard ramp on the sidewalk in the historic district, blasted Agent Orange cassettes on a boom box, and applied goofy stickers (andre the giant has a posse) to lampposts around town.

I used plastic coated speaker wire because it's what I had. I'm sure there are better choices.
Make a small spiral at the end of your wire.
Make a "C" shape.
Use your pliers to bend the wire up. Follow the "C" almost all the way down.
Then back up.
Make a point.
Cut your wire.
Wrap thin wire to hold it in place.
Wrap with string (or thin wire).

I picked up A Jane Austen Education by William Deresiewicz yesterday, and already learned something new. It has to do with the extremely talkative Miss Bates, from Emma.
Miss Bates has always struck me as pitiable and ridiculous, a character thrown into the novel largely for comic effect. But Deresiewicz has a different angle. He argues that Miss Bates lives "the novel's highest lesson of all": that it is the little things of everyday—the sorts of things talked over repeatedly by Miss Bates—of which real life is made.
Deresiewicz contrasts the small talk of Miss Bates (and of Austen's novels in general) with the conversations he used to have with his friends, and with the modernist literature he read. They were all about "the big issues—politics, social justice, the future" etc. Serious stuff. Nothing like the chick lit represented by Austen. But then he began to notice that
ultimately, all that [big] talk was just theoretical, no more real in the feelings it involved than Emma's ideas for rearranging the lives of the people around her. Austen taught me a new kind of moral seriousness—taught me what moral seriousness really means. It means taking responsibility for the little world, not the big one. It means taking responsibility for yourself.
Elsewhere Deresiewicz speaks of small talk as a way of attaching oneself to life and to other people, a way of "weaving the web of community, one strand of conversation at a time."
Perhaps Deresiewicz overstates his point. No doubt there is such a thing as mindless chatter and destructive gossip, and perhaps Miss Bates frequently engages in it (I'll have to reread Emma to be sure). Still, I think he is basically right. Just as a lot of business gets done spontaneously, in hallways and coffee shops, so relationships are often established and deepened over small-talk. To avoid it (or, as in my case, to have no talent for it) is often to be disconnected from the people around you.
Moreover, small talk is often not small at all. Events that are unimportant on a large scale, or issues that are trivial to one person, can loom large for another. Being aware of and sensitive to this is a way of putting personalism in practice. Underneath the unending chatter of Miss Bates lies an undeniable goodness, a genuine interest in and concern for others. This explains, as Deresiewicz reminds us, the positive way in which Austen introduces her to the reader:
Her youth had passed without distinction, and her middle of life was devoted to the care of a failing mother, and the endeavour to make a small income go as far as possible. And yet she was a happy woman… She loved every body, was interested in every body's happiness, quick-sighted to every body's merits; thought herself a most fortunate creature, and surrounded with blessings…
Emma is much more intelligent, beautiful, etc., than Miss Bates. She knows how to talk and behave. But until the very end of the novel she is cut off from the people around her, and cut off from herself too. She can even be downright cruel, as in the well-known scene in which she mocks Miss Bates for being unable to limit herself to saying only three dull things. The reader, though sympathetic to Emma and sharing her view of Miss Bates, can only agree with Mr. Knightly that it was "badly done indeed!" And that is exactly the effect Austen hopes for. It is her way of making us feel the shabbiness of an attitude we sometimes share. It was an eye-opener for Deresiewicz:
By creating a heroine who felt exactly as I did, and who behaved precisely as I would have in her situation, she was showing me my own ugly face. I couldn't deplore Emma's disdain for Miss Bates, or her boredom with the whole commonplace Highbury world, without simultaneously condemning my own.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the book.
A wonderful reflection. I realized recently that this is one of the things that changed in me between the time I left for college and the time I returned to my home county. When I left, I felt that it was impossible to connect with the people at home (outside my family) because they were small-minded and not interested in the big conversations that caught my attention. I wasn't unkind, like Emma, but I was uncomfortable, and I really didn't see or appreciate the virtues these people had.
Now I've returned as an adult, and as so often happens when we ourselves have changed, everything else looks different. I have such esteem for these people, who take care of their neighbors and worry about their children and get involved in their community in little, every day ways. I still feel a bit like an alien, but a humbled one, at least.
Even more humbling, to realize that other people, who would never be able to express the concepts I've learned, nevertheless have decades of experience living them so much better than I.

Thank you Kate.
Like you, I admire many people I encounter, and wish I knew them better, but somehow I tend to remain the odd one out. For instance: I see the other parents at the bus stop, and would like to be friendly and talk with them. But I don't know what they are talking about: the local soccer team, this or that teacher, a certain tv show, local politics, and so forth. All perfectly good topics with which, however, I am totally unfamilliar. So I end up just standing there and try to say something nice about their dogs.
So now, even after 6 years (!) of waiting at the bus stop in our neighborhood, we still have no relationships there to speak of. Very odd, and a bit sad. But what to do?

He also goes by the name of Dimitri or Jimmy Michalaki. His assorted companies (D&M Financial, D&M Mortgage, etc.) were players in New York and New Jersey during the housing bubble years. Michalaki and his affiliates were the target of numerous legal actions by lenders, individuals, and law enforcement agencies. The most notorious D&M connection was to the mortgage frauds perped in New York by Emmanuel "Toto" Constant, the former Haitian death squad leader turned real estate pro.
Interesting that Michalaki is now a fugitive. Also interesting that he's been up to his old tricks rather than hanging out in a jail cell. Interesting, but not surprising...

We at NYYUniverse.com have been dying to get this season going! Going into our second season of the website – we are so excited by the amount of followers and readers that we have received. This year we have a newly designed website that features a magazine look, and makes it easy for Yankees fans to browse around and read different articles; and a new forum that we hope will give more fans the opportunity to talk about what's on their mind. We also have a full cast of great writers that will be delivering loads of insightful content, analysis, and opinion articles.
In honor of Pitchers and Catchers reporting we are giving away 5 of our Brand New "BLEED PINSTRIPES" T-shirts.
Just go to our Facebook page and enter the Sweepstakes: http://ht.ly/92TUV
Can't Wait for the season to be underway, and talking with more of you as we fight for #28!!
