Resource Page Description
A new software system is being build based on a SOA approach. Unfortunately, at least one client is a legacy mainframe socket application with a positional message format. The traditional approach for this problem is to write custom threading and socket code. This often leads to unreliable and hard to maintain code that lacks flexibility to support additional message protocols in a coherent manner.
This sample code and whitepaper explores how to utilize Windows Communications Foundation’s (WCF) extensibility to have instant support for correct threading and additional services and channels.
