How to: Create a Duplex Contract

This topic shows the basic steps to create methods that use a duplex (two-way) contract. A duplex contract allows clients and servers to communicate with each other independently so that either can initiate calls to the other. The duplex contract is one of three message patterns available to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services. The other two message patterns are one-way and request-reply. A duplex contract consists of two one-way contracts between the client and the server and does not require that the method calls be correlated. Use this kind of contract when your service must query the client for more information or explicitly raise events on the client. For more information about creating a client application for a duplex contract, see How to: Access Services with a Duplex Contract. For a working sample, see the Service Contract: Duplex sample.

To create a duplex contract

  1. Create the interface that makes up the server side of the duplex contract.

  2. Apply the ServiceContractAttribute class to the interface.

    <ServiceContract(Namespace:="http://Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples", SessionMode:=SessionMode.Required, _
                    CallbackContract:=GetType(ICalculatorDuplexCallback))> _
    Public Interface ICalculatorDuplex
    
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub Clear()
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub AddTo(ByVal n As Double)
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub SubtractFrom(ByVal n As Double)
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub MultiplyBy(ByVal n As Double)
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub DivideBy(ByVal n As Double)
    End Interface
    
    [ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples", SessionMode=SessionMode.Required,
                     CallbackContract=typeof(ICalculatorDuplexCallback))]
    public interface ICalculatorDuplex
    {
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)]
        void Clear();
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void AddTo(double n);
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void SubtractFrom(double n);
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void MultiplyBy(double n);
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void DivideBy(double n);
    }
    
  3. Declare the method signatures in the interface.

  4. Apply the OperationContractAttribute class to each method signature that must be part of the public contract.

  5. Create the callback interface that defines the set of operations that the service can invoke on the client.

    Public Interface ICalculatorDuplexCallback
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub Equals(ByVal result As Double)
        <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
        Sub Equation(ByVal eqn As String)
    end interface 
    
    public interface ICalculatorDuplexCallback
    {
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void Equals(double result);
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void Equation(string eqn);
    }
    
  6. Declare the method signatures in the callback interface.

  7. Apply the OperationContractAttribute class to each method signature that must be part of the public contract.

  8. Link the two interfaces into a duplex contract by setting the CallbackContract property in the primary interface to the type of the callback interface.

To call methods on the client

  1. In the service's implementation of the primary contract, declare a variable for the callback interface.

  2. Set the variable to the object reference returned by the GetCallbackChannel method of the OperationContext class.

    Dim callback As ICalculatorDuplexCallback
    
    ICalculatorDuplexCallback callback = null;
    
    callback = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel(Of ICalculatorDuplexCallback)()
    
    callback = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel<ICalculatorDuplexCallback>();
    
  3. Call the methods defined by the callback interface.

Example

The following code example demonstrates duplex communication. The service’s contract contains service operations for moving forward and backward. The client’s contract contains a service operation for reporting its position.

' Define a duplex service contract.
' A duplex contract consists of two interfaces.
' The primary interface is used to send messages from client to service.
' The callback interface is used to send messages from service back to client.
' ICalculatorDuplex allows one to perform multiple operations on a running result.
' The result is sent back after each operation on the ICalculatorCallback interface.
<ServiceContract(Namespace:="http://Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples", SessionMode:=SessionMode.Required, _
                CallbackContract:=GetType(ICalculatorDuplexCallback))> _
Public Interface ICalculatorDuplex

    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub Clear()
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub AddTo(ByVal n As Double)
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub SubtractFrom(ByVal n As Double)
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub MultiplyBy(ByVal n As Double)
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub DivideBy(ByVal n As Double)
End Interface

' The callback interface is used to send messages from service back to client.
' The Equals operation will return the current result after each operation.
' The Equation opertion will return the complete equation after Clear() is called.
Public Interface ICalculatorDuplexCallback
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub Equals(ByVal result As Double)
    <OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
    Sub Equation(ByVal eqn As String)
end interface 

' Service class which implements a duplex service contract.
' Use an InstanceContextMode of PerSession to store the result
' An instance of the service will be bound to each duplex session
<ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode:=InstanceContextMode.PerSession)> _
Public Class CalculatorService
    Implements ICalculatorDuplex
    Dim result As Double
    Dim equation As String
    Dim callback As ICalculatorDuplexCallback

    Public Sub New()
        result = 0D
        equation = result.ToString()
        callback = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel(Of ICalculatorDuplexCallback)()

    End Sub
    Public Sub AddTo(ByVal n As Double) Implements ICalculatorDuplex.AddTo
        result += n
        equation += " + " + n.ToString()
        callback.Equals(result)
    End Sub

    Public Sub Clear() Implements ICalculatorDuplex.Clear
        callback.Equation(equation + " = " + result.ToString())
        result = 0D
        equation = result.ToString()
    End Sub

    Public Sub DivideBy(ByVal n As Double) Implements ICalculatorDuplex.DivideBy
        result /= n
        equation += " / " + n.ToString()
        callback.Equals(result)
    End Sub

    Public Sub MultiplyBy(ByVal n As Double) Implements ICalculatorDuplex.MultiplyBy
        result *= n
        equation += " * " + n.ToString()
        callback.Equals(result)
    End Sub

    Public Sub SubtractFrom(ByVal n As Double) Implements ICalculatorDuplex.SubtractFrom
        result -= n
        equation += " - " + n.ToString()
        callback.Equals(result)
    End Sub

}
  • Applying the ServiceContractAttribute and OperationContractAttribute attributes allows the automatic generation of service contract definitions in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

  • Use the ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe) to retrieve the WSDL document and (optional) code and configuration for a client.

  • Endpoints exposing duplex services must be secured. When a service receives a duplex message, it looks at the ReplyTo in that incoming message to determine where to send the reply. If the channel is not secured, then an untrusted client could send a malicious message with a target machine's ReplyTo, leading to a denial of service of the target machine. With regular request-reply messages, this is not an issue, because the ReplyTo is ignored and the response is sent on the channel the original message came in on.
