Agenda • n-Tier History • Topologies • The Service Application Framework • SharePoint History • Service Application Anatomy • Service • Service Instance • Service Application • Service Proxy • Service Proxy Application

  3. n-Tier

  4. MTS \ COM+

  5. J2EE

  6. Conceptual Topology • Distributed • Scalable • Fault Tolerance • Load Balancing • Process Isolation • JIT Activation (vs. Instantiation) of Pooled Resources • Role Based Security • Transactions (Distributed Across Systems) DB WFE APP DB

  7. Actual Topology • .NET Framework Enterprise Services • First Two Tiers = Relatively Balanced • Cheaper (one or even two less servers) • Broader Fault Tolerance (three deep rather than two) • Better Load Balancing DB WFE APP DB

  8. Actual Topology Exception (Historical) • Reporting • Search Indexing \ Querying • Heavy Number Crunching • Business Data Catalog • Excel Services DB WFE APP DB

  9. Why Use an Application Layer • Offload Resource Consumption • Load Balanced • Process Isolation • Added Resource • Centralized State (according to Todd) • Cached • Common • Performant • Cross Platform (Farm)

  10. ASMX Web Service or WCF Service • Traditional Approach (Simple) • Custom Management • External (Software \ Hardware) Load Balancing • Direct Web Method Calls • Custom Disaster Recovery (DR) • Boolean Permission Management

  11. The Service Application Framework • Hosted, middle-tier services (similar to COM+ or J2EE) • Scalable Shared Services • Consumed by Multiple SharePoint Web Applications or even External Consumers • Extensible!

  12. Service Applications Also Provide • Provisioning • Of the Service Application (Manual or Automatic) • PowerShell, Farm Configuration Wizard, and\or Central Administration • Creation of a new Application Pool • Configuration and\or Content Database • Optional Management Pages • Create, Manage, and Properties page • Claims aware • Backup, restore, upgrade support • Pluggable round robin load balancer • Custom permissions

  13. SharePoint History • SharePoint 2003 Server • Web Application-based Shared Services Portals • Search, User Profiles, Audiences, and My Sites • Limitations • One Shared Service or up to 20 Unique Services • SharePoint 2007 Server • Shared Services Providers (SSPs Supersede Portals) • Search, User Profiles, Audiences, My Sites, BDC, Excel Services • Limitations • Web Application configured to an SSP collection of services, Could not mix and match • Not Extensible

  14. SharePoint 2010 Foundation • Service Applications supersede SSPs and they are now baked into the core platform • Web Applications are related to a collection of independent Service Applications • Big win for Hosted, Multi-tenant Implementations • Managed in Central Administration • Built on WCF (Secure, Runs on Port 80) • Extensible, Hence This Talk • Every component is heavily abstracted \ pluggable

  15. A Few SharePoint 2010 Examples • Offload Resource Consumption • Excel Services • PerformancePoint • Search • Centralized State (according to Todd) • Web Analytics • Managed Metadata • Cross Platform (Farm) • Managed Metadata • Search

  16. Custom Service Application Examples • Offload Resource Consumption • Resume Crunching • Centralized State (according to Todd) • Who’s Online • Cross Platform (Farm) • “My Company” Sandboxed Solution Gallery

  17. Service Application Anatomy • Service to Surface (typically WCF) • SVC (http:\\tinyurl.com\ReplacableParameters) • TokenReplacementFileExtensions • Contract (behavioral \ data Interface) • {SharePointRoot}\WebServices • {SharePointRoot}\WebClient • DLL to GAC

  18. Service Application Anatomy (Cont.) • Use Core Component Names as Class Suffixes: • *Service • *ServiceInstance • *ServiceApplication • *ServiceProxy • *ServiceApplicationProxy

  19. Service Application Optional Extensions • PostDeploy.ps1 PowerShell Script • Provision Service Instance • Provision Service Application • Provision Service Application Proxy • Add to Default Application Proxy Grou • Alternative ways to create New Service Applications • FeatureReceiver (FeatureInstalled\FeatureUninstalling) • _Admin\Project\New.aspx Admin Page • PowerShell Script/Cmdlet • Farm Configuration Wizard • Web Application Create Page

  20. Optional Extensions (cont.) • Optional Pages Surfaced in Central Administration • New.aspx • Manage.aspx • Properties.aspx • Publish \ Connect • Identification of Administrators • Custom SAF Permissions

  21. Optional Extensions (cont.) • Auto-Provision Custom SAF Databases • Auto-Backup and Restore Custom SAF Databases • Custom Timer jobs • Runs on server running Custom SAF Service Instance • Custom Load Balancer

  22. Core Components • All classes are public • Most Inherit from a base class _and_Implement an interface • For serialization: • Decorate with a System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid • Include a parameter-less, default 'ctor • Override TypeName and supply a nice string • Like most of SharePoint, These Must be Installed on Every Server so that Any Server can be Added to the Pool

  23. Service • Inherits SPIisWebService (or just SPService for no WCF) • Implements IServiceAdministration • Establishes characteristics of the Custom Service • Name – GetApplicationTypeDescription() • CreateApplication • CreateProxy • Create.aspx URL - GetCreateApplicationLink • Instances collection property of Service Instances running on various servers in the Farm

  24. Service Instance • Inherits SPIisWebServiceInstance • 'started' or 'stopped' Instance of a service on a specific server in the farm using Manage Services on Server • Only one instance of each Service runs on any one server • Defines that public Interface available to consumers(think Web Methods or WSDL) • The Service is fully functional whenever at least one Service Instance is online (basically running on a server somewhere) • This is the list that populates the New dropdown in SCA • Called in sequence using the Pluggable Load Balancer

  25. Service Application • Inherits SPIisWebServiceApplication • Implements [IMyServiceContract] • Hosted by a Service Instance • Like a Web Application runs on one or more WFEs, the Service Application runs on one of more APs in the Farm • Establishes characteristics of the Service Application • Location of the: SVC file, WCF endpoints web.config • Manage.aspx URL – ManageLink • Properties.aspx URL – PropertiesLink • Contains administrator settings • May manage data

  26. Service Endpoints • SVC file is typically deployed to: • {SharePointRoot}\ISAPI (AKA _vti_bin) • {SharePointRoot}\WebServices\[subfolder]\*.SVC • WCF Configuration, when needed • {SharePointRoot}\WebServices\[subfolder]\web.config • {SharePointRoot}\WebClients\[subfolder]\web.config • Autogenerated MEX Endpoints or Custom Endpoints • Bindings • Authentication Mechanisms • Magic Numbers

  27. Service Proxy • Inherits SPIisWebServiceProxy • Implements IServiceProxyAdministration • Identifies the Service Applications that SharePoint can Connect To • Class factory for Service Application Proxies

  28. Service Application Proxy • Inherits SPIisWebServiceApplicationProxy • Public (front-end) interface to a Service Application • Handles all communication between the Consumer and the server selected by the Load Balancer on which the Service Application is running • Requires the use of a ChannelFactory • Similar to the proxy that is created by Visual Studio for us when we add a Web Reference or a Service Reference • It interrogates the SharePoint Farm for the dynamic WCF Endpoint location • It must understand all the methods and their parameters • Similar to a reflected invoke on a private member

  29. SCA Administrative Pages • Deployed to {SharePointRoot}\TEMPLATE\ADMIN folder • New.aspx • Application Pool Creation Control • Creates a new Instance and associates it with the current server • Online in code = "started" in the UI • Also creates a new Proxy to consumers can call it • Manage.aspx • Properties.aspx

  30. Consumers • Web Parts • Pages • PowerShell • Applications running outside of SharePoint • Provide others with a Service Consumer Client • They then just call your methods to: • Creates an instance of the Service Application Proxy • Invoke the method on the dynamic channel • Receive the results

  31. Developing First Service Application • Create WCF service; host in IIS • Test service with WcfClientTest.exe • Write 5 classes of SA (3 server, 2 client) • Add GUID; default 'ctors, other 'ctors, TypeName • Farm Feature Receiver creates/destroys: • Service (1/Farm) • Service Instance (1 each server) • Service Proxy (1/Farm) • Proxy Groups – Web Application Association • PowerShell to Auto-Create • _Layouts\Project \Consumer.aspx (Application page)
