WCF Broker Tutorial
< Go Back
This tutorial guides you through the process of building and deploying a simple client and service based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). It then describes how to deploy and execute the client and service on a Windows HPC Server 2008-based cluster.
After outlining the prerequisites, the tutorial begins by describing how to unpack the instructions for the example. The first step is then to configure the head node to be a broker (or router) node.
The tutorial goes on to describe how to build and deploy the service using either xcopy or MSI (Windows Installer); steps are provided for both approaches. After deployment, the client will be ready to run.
The next section of the tutorial guides you through the three procedures required to build a service-oriented architecture (SOA) application using the session API: creating the service, deploying the service DLL to the cluster (which involves registering the service DLL on each node in the cluster), and creating the client. The code for each procedure is also given and explained.
