WCF 可扩展性
WCF 提供了许多扩展点供开发人员自定义运行时行为。 WCF 在 Channel Layer 之上还提供了一个高级运行时,主要是针对应用程序开发人员。在 WCF 文档中,它常被称为服务模型层(Service Model Layer)。该高级运行时主要由一个称作 Dispatcher(在 ServiceHost 的 Context 中)的组件和一个称作 Proxy(在客户端的 Context 中)的组件组成。

每个扩展点都使用接口定义来扩展。
Stage | Interceptor Interface | Description |
---|---|---|
Parameter Inspection | IParameterInspector | Called before and after invocation to inspect and modify parameter values. |
Message Formatting | IDispatchMessageFormatter IClientFormatter | Called to perform serialization and deserialization. |
Message Inspection | IDispatchMessageInspector IClientMessageInspector | Called before send or after receive to inspect and replace message contents. |
Operation Selection | IDispatchOperationSelector IClientOperationSelector | Called to select the operation to invoke for the given message. |
Operation Invoker | IOperationInvoker | Called to invoke the operation. |
Behavior 是一种特殊类型的类,它在 ServiceHost/ChannelFactory 初始化过程中扩展运行时行为。WCF 有四种类型的行为:服务行为、终结点行为、契约行为和操作行为。
Scope | Interface | Potential Impact | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Service | Endpoint | Contract | Operation | ||
Service | IServiceBehavior | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
Endpoint | IEndpointBehavior | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | |
Contract | IContractBehavior | ✗ | ✗ | ||
Operation | IOperationBehavior | ✗ |
每种行为类型也是通过不同的接口定义来扩展,它们都共用一组相同的方法。一个例外是,IServiceBehavior 没有 ApplyClientBehavior 方法,因为服务行为不能用于客户端。
Method | Description |
---|---|
Validate | Called just before the runtime is built—allows you to perform custom validation on the service description. |
AddBindingParameters | Called in the first step of building the runtime, before the underlying channel is constructed, allows you to add parameters to influence the underlying channel stack. |
ApplyClientBehavior | Allows behavior to inject proxy (client) extensions. Note that this method is not present on IServiceBehavior. |
ApplyDispatchBehavior | Allows behavior to inject dispatcher extensions. |

案例:使用WCF扩展记录服务调用时间
服务定义:
1 [ServiceContract] 2 public interface ICalculatorService 3 { 4 [OperationContract] 5 int Add(int a, int b); 6 }
服务实现:
1 public class CalculatorService : ICalculatorService 2 { 3 public int Add(int a, int b) 4 { 5 return a + b; 6 } 7 }
配置文件:
12 3 15"WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole.CalculatorService"> 4 14"" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" 5 contract="WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole.ICalculatorService" 6 name="myCalculatorServiceEndpoint"/> 7 "mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/> 8 9 1310 12"net.tcp://localhost:12345/CalculatorService"/> 11 16 2317 2218 2119 "true"/> 20
问题描述
现在需要记录每次服务调用执行所需的时间,比如可以将测量的方法执行时间传递给 PerformanceCounter 用于性能计数,或者直接写入到日志中等。
方式一:直接在方法内测量
1 public class CalculatorService : ICalculatorService 2 { 3 public int Add(int a, int b) 4 { 5 Stopwatch watch = Stopwatch.StartNew(); 6 7 int result = a + b; 8 Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(123)); // waste time here 9 10 Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("Method [{0}] execution cost [{1}] milliseconds.", 11 "Add", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds)); 12 13 return result; 14 } 15 }
这种方法浅显易懂,但如果服务所提供的功能过多,会导致大量冗余代码。
方式二:形成测量类简化代码
1 public class Measure : IDisposable 2 { 3 private Stopwatch _watch = null; 4 5 protected Measure(string methodName) 6 { 7 MethodName = methodName; 8 _watch = new Stopwatch(); 9 } 10 11 public string MethodName { get; private set; } 12 13 public void Start() 14 { 15 _watch.Start(); 16 } 17 18 public void Stop() 19 { 20 _watch.Stop(); 21 22 Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("Measure method [{0}] execution cost [{1}] milliseconds.", 23 MethodName, _watch.ElapsedMilliseconds)); 24 } 25 26 public static Measure StartNew(string methodName) 27 { 28 Measure m = new Measure(methodName); 29 m.Start(); 30 return m; 31 } 32 33 public void Dispose() 34 { 35 Stop(); 36 _watch = null; 37 } 38 }
1 public class CalculatorService : ICalculatorService 2 { 3 public int Add(int a, int b) 4 { 5 using (var measure = Measure.StartNew("Add")) 6 { 7 Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(123)); // waste time here 8 return a + b; 9 } 10 } 11 }
此种方式简化了代码,但仍然需要在各自方法内实现,并需提供方法名作为参数。
使用 Message Inspection 来解决问题
我们定义类 IncomingMessageLoggerInspector 来实现 IDispatchMessageInspector 接口。
1 #region IDispatchMessageInspector Members 2 3 public object AfterReceiveRequest( 4 ref Message request, 5 IClientChannel channel, 6 InstanceContext instanceContext) 7 { 8 var context = OperationContext.Current; 9 if (context == null) return null; 10 11 var operationName = ParseOperationName(context.IncomingMessageHeaders.Action); 12 13 return MarkStartOfOperation( 14 context.EndpointDispatcher.ContractName, operationName, 15 context.SessionId); 16 } 17 18 public void BeforeSendReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState) 19 { 20 var context = OperationContext.Current; 21 if (context == null) return; 22 23 var operationName = ParseOperationName(context.IncomingMessageHeaders.Action); 24 25 MarkEndOfOperation( 26 context.EndpointDispatcher.ContractName, operationName, 27 context.SessionId, correlationState); 28 } 29 30 #endregion
通过服务的当前上下文实例,我们可以获取到服务被调用的契约名称 ContractName,并且可以在 IncomingMessageHeaders 总解析出被调用的 OperationName。
我们在方法 MarkStartOfOperation 中启动 Stopwatch 开始测量执行时间,在方法执行完毕后服务模型会调用 BeforeSendReply 并将 Stopwatch 实例引用传递至 correlationState,此时我们可以在方法 MarkEndOfOperation 中解决时间测量,并打印日志。
1 #region Private Methods 2 3 private static string ParseOperationName(string action) 4 { 5 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(action)) return action; 6 7 string actionName = action; 8 9 int index = action.LastIndexOf('/'); 10 if (index >= 0) 11 { 12 actionName = action.Substring(index + 1); 13 } 14 15 return actionName; 16 } 17 18 private static object MarkStartOfOperation( 19 string inspectorType, string operationName, string sessionId) 20 { 21 var message = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, 22 "Operation [{0}] was called at [{1}] on [{2}] in thread [{3}].", 23 operationName, inspectorType, 24 DateTime.Now.ToString(@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffffff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), 25 Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); 26 27 Debug.WriteLine(message); 28 29 return Stopwatch.StartNew(); 30 } 31 32 private static void MarkEndOfOperation( 33 string inspectorType, string operationName, 34 string sessionId, object correlationState) 35 { 36 var watch = (Stopwatch)correlationState; 37 watch.Stop(); 38 39 var message = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, 40 "Operation [{0}] returned after [{1}] milliseconds at [{2}] on [{3}] in thread [{4}].", 41 operationName, watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, inspectorType, 42 DateTime.Now.ToString(@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffffff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), 43 Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); 44 45 Debug.WriteLine(message); 46 } 47 48 #endregion
此时,我们需要定义 EndpointBehavior 来讲 Inspector 设置到 DispatchRuntime 中。
1 public class IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehavior : IEndpointBehavior 2 { 3 #region IEndpointBehavior Members 4 5 public void AddBindingParameters( 6 ServiceEndpoint endpoint, 7 BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) 8 { 9 } 10 11 public void ApplyClientBehavior( 12 ServiceEndpoint endpoint, 13 ClientRuntime clientRuntime) 14 { 15 } 16 17 public void ApplyDispatchBehavior( 18 ServiceEndpoint endpoint, 19 EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher) 20 { 21 if (endpointDispatcher != null) 22 { 23 endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add( 24 new IncomingMessageLoggerInspector()); 25 } 26 } 27 28 public void Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint) 29 { 30 } 31 32 #endregion 33 }
然后,我们在 ServiceHost 实例化后,未Open前,将 IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehavior 添加至 Endpoint 的 Behaviors 中。
1 class Program 2 { 3 static void Main(string[] args) 4 { 5 ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService)); 6 7 foreach (var endpoint in host.Description.Endpoints) 8 { 9 endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehavior()); 10 } 11 12 host.Opened += new EventHandler(delegate(object obj, EventArgs e) 13 { 14 Debug.WriteLine(typeof(CalculatorService).Name + " 服务已经启动!"); 15 }); 16 17 host.Open(); 18 19 Console.ReadKey(); 20 } 21 }
使用 WcfTestClient.exe 调用服务,执行 2 + 3 查看结果,
在 Debug 输出中可以看到,
使用配置文件定制
使用配置文件定制扩展的优点就是可以按需添加和删除扩展,而无需改动代码。比如当发现系统有性能问题时,添加该扩展来查看具体哪个方法执行速度慢。
需要定义类来实现 BehaviorExtensionElement 抽象类。
1 public class IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehaviorExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement 2 { 3 public override Type BehaviorType 4 { 5 get { return typeof(IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehavior); } 6 } 7 8 protected override object CreateBehavior() 9 { 10 return new IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehavior(); 11 } 12 }
在配置文件中添加扩展项,
1 <extensions> 2 <behaviorExtensions> 3 <add name="incomingMessageLogger" 4 type="WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole.Extensions.IncomingMessageLoggerEndpointBehaviorExtension, WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole"/> 5 behaviorExtensions> 6 extensions>
在终结点行为中添加该扩展定义,
1 <behaviors> 2 <serviceBehaviors> 3 <behavior> 4 <serviceMetadata/> 5 <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> 6 behavior> 7 serviceBehaviors> 8 <endpointBehaviors> 9 <behavior> 10 <incomingMessageLogger/> 11 behavior> 12 endpointBehaviors> 13 behaviors>
使用 ServiceBehavior 扩展
同理,如果服务实现了多个 Endpoint,则想在所有 Endpoint 上添加该扩展,除了可以逐个添加或者使用 behaviorConfiguration 来配置。
另一个方法是可以借助 IServiceBehavior 的扩展实现。
1 public class IncomingMessageLoggerServiceBehavior : IServiceBehavior 2 { 3 #region IServiceBehavior Members 4 5 public void AddBindingParameters( 6 ServiceDescription serviceDescription, 7 ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, 8 Collectionendpoints, 9 BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) 10 { 11 } 12 13 public void ApplyDispatchBehavior( 14 ServiceDescription serviceDescription, 15 ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase) 16 { 17 if (serviceHostBase != null) 18 { 19 foreach (ChannelDispatcher channelDispatcher in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers) 20 { 21 foreach (EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher in channelDispatcher.Endpoints) 22 { 23 endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add( 24 new IncomingMessageLoggerInspector()); 25 } 26 } 27 } 28 } 29 30 public void Validate( 31 ServiceDescription serviceDescription, 32 ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase) 33 { 34 } 35 36 #endregion 37 }
原理相同,仅是遍历通道分配器中所有的终结点,逐一添加 Inspector。
同理,如果需要在配置文件中使用,也需要实现一个 BehaviorExtensionElement 类。
1 public class IncomingMessageLoggerServiceBehaviorExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement 2 { 3 public override Type BehaviorType 4 { 5 get { return typeof(IncomingMessageLoggerServiceBehavior); } 6 } 7 8 protected override object CreateBehavior() 9 { 10 return new IncomingMessageLoggerServiceBehavior(); 11 } 12 }
此时的配置文件描述如下:
1 <behaviors> 2 <serviceBehaviors> 3 <behavior> 4 <serviceMetadata/> 5 <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> 6 <incomingMessageLogger/> 7 behavior> 8 serviceBehaviors> 9 behaviors> 10 <extensions> 11 <behaviorExtensions> 12 <add name="incomingMessageLogger" 13 type="WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole.Extensions.IncomingMessageLoggerServiceBehaviorExtension, WcfExtensibilityTestServiceConsole"/> 14 behaviorExtensions> 15 extensions>
