Async WCF interface with T4

T4 template that takes a DLL, pulls out all the WCF interfaces and gives your client development team a proxy class to code against.

namespace ServerInterfaces
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ILoginFacade
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "/Login")]
GetLoginResponse GetLogin()

[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
Method = "PUT", UriTemplate = "/Login")]
UpdateLoginResponse UpdateLogin(UpdateLoginRequest request);

[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "/Login/WriteToLog")]
void WriteToLog();
}

[ServiceContract]
public interface ITradeFacade
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
Method = "PUT", UriTemplate = "/Trades")]
int UpdateTradesDatabase(string userId);
}
}

Core REST service execution code

namespace ClientProxy
{
public interface IServiceExecutor
{
void Get<TResponse>(string uriTemplate, Action<CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>> callback);
void Put<TResponse>(string uriTemplate, string request, Action<CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>> callback);
}

public class ServiceExecutor : IServiceExecutor
{
ServiceEnvironment serviceEnvironment = new ServiceEnvironment() { UseHttpS = false, BaseAddress = "localhost", Port = 52802 };

public void Get<TResponse>(string uriTemplate, Action<CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>> callback)
{
var client = new WebClient();
var address = GetUri(uriTemplate);
client.DownloadStringCompleted += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
if (callback == null) return;
var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TResponse>(eventArgs.Result);
callback(new CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>(response, eventArgs));
};
client.DownloadStringAsync(address);
}

public void Put<TResponse>(string uriTemplate, string request, Action<CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>> callback)
{
var client = new WebClient();
var address = GetUri(uriTemplate);
client.UploadStringCompleted += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
if (callback == null) return;
var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TResponse>(eventArgs.Result);
callback(new CallCompleteEventArgs<TResponse>(response, eventArgs));
};
client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";
client.UploadStringAsync(address, "PUT", request);
}

private Uri GetUri(string uriTemplate)
{
var uriString = string.Format("http{0}://{1}:{2}/Facades{3}",
serviceEnvironment.UseHttpS ? "s" : "",
serviceEnvironment.BaseAddress,
serviceEnvironment.Port,
uriTemplate);
return new Uri(uriString);
}
}
}

Source code


The solution features:



  • DTOS:  A portable class library project containing DTOs
  • Interfaces:  A class library containing the WCF interfaces.  This project also contains the T4 template scripts
  • WCF ServiceDirectory:  A Silverlight project which calls the rest services , contains REST service calling code.
  • A website project with Web API (WCF) REST Services
