re: How To Load WF4 Workflow Services from a Database with IIS/AppFabric

Hi Ron... this is working like a charm.

However, is there a way I can use the WorkflowServiceHostFactory while using this VirtualPathProvider?

Any idea, please let me know.

Thanks!

Nice Post!

Is it possible to specify additional metadata on a subscrption?

I'd like to be able to store information like who created the subscription etc...

Also the management portal doesn't allow you to specify any filters. Is it only supported via the API?

So, is .NET 4.0 required really? Is this just a side-effect of it being a vsix for vs2010? If I convert the metrobinding (for example) into a customBinding in .NET 3.5, should it work ok? Metro doesn't explictly target .NET 4.0 itself anyway - 1.0 does .net 3.0, 1.3+ does 3.5... Thanks for any help.

To answer the question I posted, I found that a wsHttp service is created for the xamlx at http://<host>/xaml/<wfname>.xmalx/System.ServiceModel.Activities_IWorkflowInstanceManagement

@ashish The service would still emit tracking events in the monitoring store but as you point out AppFabric would not display it as a service or offer control operations on it.

i am wondering how we would use appfabric with this type of sitiuation, in case we want to monitor or persist a service, since these services are not visible through IIS in Appfabric dashboard

Thanks Jim! No I don't know why returning null works.

Thanks for the great sample. I found that adding the GetCacheDependency override allows you to avoid having the xaml folder, but using sample code gets an error. The link forums.asp.net/.../1289756.aspx said returning null works, which it does. Do you have insight as to why that works?

public override CacheDependency GetCacheDependency(string virtualPath,

IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies,

DateTime utcStart)

{

if (IsPathVirtual(virtualPath))

return null;

else

return Previous.GetCacheDependency(virtualPath, virtualPathDependencies, utcStart);

}

Outstanding article. For first contact with Service Bus Queues - perfect! All basic and necessary things to start with queues were clearly explained. Great job.
