Message Routing doesn't work

Hi, all. I defined a very simple ASP.NET Web service as follows (namespace omitted):

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class Service : WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public void Log(string log)
{
using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(@"C:\log.txt"))
{
write.WriteLine(log);
}
}
}

The session manifest is as follows:

<Session timestamp="0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000-08:00" timeout="30" serialize="None" routeAnyAction="true" ackOnRouteMsgToParticipants="false" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XmlSchema-instance" xmlns="http://Microsoft/ConectedServices/2006/06/Session/">
<SessionName>HelloWorld</SessionName>
<Participants>
<Participant timeout="30" role="Service" inChannelResponse="false" type="WebService">
<ParticipantName>TestService</ParticipantName>
<ParticipantID>TestService</ParticipantID>
<ParticipantUrl>http://localhost/TestService/Service.asmx</ParticipantUrl>
</Participant>
</Participants>
<RoutingTable version="0" timestamp="0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000-08:00">
<Routes>
<Route>
<Criteria>(ACTION EQ 'http://tempuri.org/Log')</Criteria>
<Destination>TestService[http://tempuri.org/Log]</Destination>
</Route>
</Routes>
</RoutingTable>
</Session>

Then I created an ASP.NET Web site to talk to the service defined above through CSF Session. On the ASP.NET page, there's a button named OK. Here's the code:

propected void OKButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (InputTextBox.Text.Length != 0)
{
Header header = new Header();
header.Addressing = new AddressingHeader();
header.Addressing.To = new Uri(SessionUrls.SessionUrl);
header.Addressing.Action = @"http://tempuri.org/Log;"
header.CsfProperties.SessionId = new Uri(SessionIDTextBox.Text);
header.Security.Add(SecurityHelper.GetUsernameToken());
Message msg = Message.CreateMessage(header, InputTextBox.Text);
MessageSender msgSender = new MessageSender();
msgSender.SendAsync(msg);
}
}

Several things to be noted:

The ASP.NET Web service works fine when I talk to it directly either by using IE or proxy class in a test project. The log.txt will sit in C:\ when we finish the talk.
Both ASP.NET Web service and ASP.NET Web site have permission to have access to local resources.
Session can be created successfully and the ID can be displayed on the web page.
HelloWorld sample code correspond to CSF 3.0 can be run properly.
Session trace has been enabled. Session_InputTrace.webinfo shows that message that should to be sent to my service has been received by Session. But Session_OutputTrace.webinfo doesn't contain any response message from my service.

What's the problem How can the message be routed to my service What else should I take into account

Hi Vikram. After I sent the request, there were four logs in the event viewer. Three of them are of type information: one for Session service has started successfully; one for clustering is not enabled in Session; and one for CustomUsernameTokenManager is enabled. The last of them is of error type, detailed as follows:

Hi Vikram. As SenthilN-msft said, I need to add one more service as a participant in order to send message to the destination service. But the method of the service a defined above has no return value. How can I expect there is a response routing in the routing table Is it a must to add this kind of response routing no matter whether the target method has a return value

Hello - I would like to clarify a concept in session here.

The anology I could draw is a telephone conference bridge. In order to talk to somebody in the conference you need join the conference and become a participant. To join the a teleconference you need some kind of credentials. Also when you join the conference, your name gets announced to everybody in the conference. When you leave the conference, that also gets announced to everybody in the conference.

Similarly to route a message in Session that service needs to be a participant in the Session. You cannot route a message to a session if you are not a participant. When a participant is added / removed in a session, AddRemoveParticipantNotification is sent to all the participants who have subscribed to it. Please refer the Session documentation on how to subscribe to these notifications.

To address your question of how do I route a message from a webpage, we have shipped a Sync Session sample which shall provide you more clarity on this. So please take a look at that.

Thanks

Hi,

In the manifest you have routed the request message to teh required web service, but the response returned by the web service will have the action as http://tempuri.org/LogResponse (if you havent specified any other action name for the method explicitly in the web service)

This response needs to be routed to the originator, hence another route needs to be created in the manifest to route the response message. Also a service should be running at your web site to receive and process this response.

Hope this helps.

There's no "From" inside. But why should there be a "From" while I sent a message in one-way fashion asychronously The message was sent from an ASP.NET web page by using MessageSender. There was just one participant service who would receive the message and persist it. Can't session route the kind of message
Ekta
Hi, Ashish. For simplicity, I have made the Log method of my service a one-way method, just as the code above shown. When the client message is sent to my service through session, the Log method should create a file under C: drive and inside the file contains the message body text. When dive into the trace file of session, it seemed that message had been sent to session but didn't reach the destination service, i.e. my service didn't receive the message! Is there anything else I should take into account to make the routing work
Daniel Gil
Hello Yoglun,

Check the session output trace and see the "From" address. I suppose you are constructing a message with a "From" address. Ensure that you are including "From" address in the message you are responding back.

Check whether the "From" address matches the participant URL in Session manifest. If not, then change the URL in the "From" address and test the implementation.

See if it work after making the above changes.

Vikram

Hi Vikram. I am using the 3.0 version downloaded from MSDN subscription. What's wrong with it
Aamir Iqbal
Hello Yoglun,

Please send the error log in the event viewer after you send the request. So that I can get some idea as to what is happening.

Hello Yoglun,

Are you using CSF 3.0 Developer Edition or CSF 3.0 Full Version

Did you see the event log. What is the error inside event log

Regards,

Hi

Can you please check the trace and see whats the url present in the "From" section in header of the message.

The session service accepts the messages only from the services which are a participant in the session.

If the "From" information in header is different from the participants list used to create the session, the message is ignored.

Hello Yoglun,

See the manifest submitted to the Session by the service trying to invoke TestService (this is the same manifest you had posted):

<Session timestamp="0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000-08:00" timeout="30" serialize="None" routeAnyAction="true" ackOnRouteMsgToParticipants="false" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XmlSchema-instance" xmlns="http://Microsoft/ConectedServices/2006/06/Session/">
<SessionName>HelloWorld</SessionName>
<Participants>
<Participant timeout="30" role="Service" inChannelResponse="false" type="WebService">
<ParticipantName>TestService</ParticipantName>
<ParticipantID>TestService</ParticipantID>
<ParticipantUrl>http://localhost/TestService/Service.asmx</ParticipantUrl>
</Participant>
</Participants>

<Route>
<Criteria>(ACTION EQ 'http://tempuri.org/Log')</Criteria>
<Destination>TestService[http://tempuri.org/Log]</Destination>
</Route>
</Routes>
</RoutingTable>
</Session>

Here you have added TestService as participant. But you have not added the Service trying to call TestService as a participant. For example: Service XYZ is trying to call TestService then you need to add XYZ as a participant in the session manifest.

Also if you look at the routing table, you have specified route for routing message to the TestService. But there should also be a route to accept the response and route the response to XYZ service.

You need to do all these in order to get the response from TestService.

See the following, I have modified your manifest to include XYZ service:

<Session timestamp="0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000-08:00" timeout="30" serialize="None" routeAnyAction="true" ackOnRouteMsgToParticipants="false" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XmlSchema-instance" xmlns="http://Microsoft/ConectedServices/2006/06/Session/">

</Route>

<Destination>XYZService[Specify Action to accept the response similar to http://tempuri.org/Log]</Destination>
</Route>
</Routes>
</RoutingTable>
</Session>

I hope that should solve the issue.

Hello Yoglun,

See the event log where CSF has been installed. I suppose you will find some error logged by the Session service.

In your code I found that the action specified by you ends with a semicolon

header.Addressing.Action = @"http://tempuri.org/Log;"

Remove the semicolon and try running the implementation again.

I hope that solves your problem.

Regards,

Vikram

Hi, Vikram. I'm sorry, but the code in my computer doesn't contain such a mistake. Well, I didn't copy the code and posted it here. I just re-typed the code again. In addition, if the semicolon sits inside quotation mark, then the compiler will complain! The session input trace file indicates that message has been sent to session, but output trace file indicates that session doesn't route the message to the destination service. Any suggestions
