Logging information about the client making requests to WCF (WAS) webservice

I have a WCF webservice, a number of webservices actually, all using net.tcp and hosted in IIS through WAS. Multiple clients are calling these services, all are known but cannot be controlled (that is, I cannot change their code and therefore I cannot change the services either). Some of these clients are not very nice to the service and...

Alternative to HttpContext when using NInject with a WCF Service Hosted in WAS using MSMQ binding

I have a one way WCF service using the MSMQ Binding which is activated using Windows Activation Service in IIS 7.0. I'm a big fan on NInject so I've been using the NInject extension for WCF, which for a typical HTTP WCF service would work great. However, in WAS activate services there is no HTTP pipeline, so I can't use InRequestScope...

How much IIS7 is dependent on WAS?

WAS is usually described as a service, which was created to support non-HTTP protocol hosting in IIS7. But is it true that WAS has actually taken over much of WWW Service tasks and so even HTTP-only IIS7 hosts cannot exist without WAS, since this service is responsible for working with all protocol listener adapters and worker process ...

WAS Non-HTTP activation - hooking application startup

I'm trying to integrate a netTcpBinding based application that is hosted inside WAS with an IoC container (autofac/spring).

what is the global.asax Application_Start equivalent when using WAS in IIS7

Hi I'd like to use the netTcpBinding for my WCF application which is currently hosted in IIS7, which means configuring it to use WAS instead.

How to avoid ClassCastException in JMX calls with complex arguments on Websphere appserver

URLCallback with JAAS on WAS?

I extended the JAAS javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule, and installed it into a WAS server. It works; all logins go through the code in this new class, and if it says to not let them login, they're prevented from logging in. The root problem: I don't want it to filter logins for the admin console (/ibm/console), but I do want it to f...

Elmah for non-HTTP protocol applications OR Elmah without HttpContext

We are working on a 3-tier application, and we've been allowed to use the latest and greatest (MVC2, IIS7.5, WCF, SQL2k8, etc). The application tier is exposed to the various web applications by WCF services. Since we control both the service and client side, we've decided to use net.tcp bindings for their performance advantage over H...
