Learning NServiceBus

By: David Boike

Overview of this book

<p>Web service-based systems are designed using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) techniques. This technique is effective; however, this method creates problems with scalability and reusability as fault tolerance is inherently hindered by the RPC principles. This book helps you to overcome this problem by introducing you to the principles of messaging and SOA to build scalable and reliable systems, that are easy to extend and maintain.</p> <p>"Learning NServiceBus" is your essential guide to becoming a messaging guru. The book details the process of building a software system based on the SOA principles. From sending a simple message to publishing events, this book covers everything you need to know to understand and implement an SOA-based message driven systems.</p> <p>"Learning NServiceBus" will teach you how to use publish/subscribe to create an Serivce Oriented Architecture. We will then look how to manage and extend that architecture. Through the course of the book, you will build reliable systems which will automatically compensate for failures. You will also learn to build complex yet testable business processes which will make batch processes seem outdated. By the end of the book, you will realize that SOA is much more than just web services.</p>

Profiles


In a lot of software systems, you'll either see a litany of different settings in a configuration file, or a single configuration value and a huge wall of settings in a switch statement in code. Not so with NServiceBus. NServiceBus uses a concept called profile to activate different options within an endpoint based on environment or capability.

Tip

Many of the dependency injection containers support a similar profile feature. Be sure to check the documentation for your favorite one!

A profile can be activated on an endpoint by including its full class name as a command line parameter, or by including it with the install options when installing an endpoint as a service. For instance, to run an endpoint with the Lite profile, as we have done in some of the examples in this book, run the following code:

> NServiceBus.Host.exe NServiceBus.Lite

All of the built-in NServiceBus profiles are located directly in the NServiceBus namespace. These profiles fall into two categories; environmental...
