public class HelloService : IService
{
public object Execute(Hello request)
{
return new HelloResponse { Result = “Hello, ” + request.Name };
}
}

So this same service can be called via the XML,JSON,JSV RPC endpoints or alternatively via the SOAP 1.1/1.2 endpoints – The SOAP endpoints is similar to the same service in WCF SOAP. Note: ServiceStack’s SOAP endpoints themselves uses the generic WCF Message class underneath, and the SoapServiceClients uses WCF Client’s generic proxy that allows you to use use the same WCF client to send any arbitrary DTO’s.

WCF with Agatha is actually optional… if you use WCF with agatha, WCF is just a transport layer, nothing more. But it was originally intended to be a better alternative to the typical WCF services, which explains the focus being put on WCF

var client = new ClientConfiguration(typeof(HelloWorldRequest).Assembly, typeof(Agatha.Ninject.Container));
client.RequestProcessorImplementation = typeof(DynamicRequestProcessor);
client.AsyncRequestProcessorImplementation = typeof(DynamicAsyncRequestProcessor);
client.Initialize();

public class DynamicRequestProcessor : RequestProcessorProxy
{
public DynamicRequestProcessor() :
base(CreateBasicHttpBinding(), CreateEndPoint())
{
}
}

public RequestProcessorProxy(Binding binding, EndpointAddress remoteAddress) : base(binding, remoteAddress) { }

passing in something like this:

EndpointAddress epa =
new EndpointAddress(new Uri(“http://localhost:3994/AgathaDemo.Web/Service.svc”));
WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
