Sagas and web services


One of the many endpoints that NSB provide integration into is the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) endpoint. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Communication_Foundation for more information.

WCF is part of the .NET Framework ecosystem which provides a runtime and a set of APIs for building connected, service-oriented applications. In the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) binding, it makes use of Web Services Description Languages (WSDL), which defines the interface between a web service and a web service client. Based on a WSDL, the XML is created on the WSDL specification so that the client and server can exchange information irrespective of their programming languages and platforms. It is sent between the server and the client as the protocol is normally HTTP or HTTPS. There are multiple binding types; we will discuss mostly SOAP binding in this book, but for more binding types, you can visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731092%28v...
