I must admit that I don't understand the connection between:
Windows Azure .NET SDK 2.1+ and Service Bus for Windows Server 1.1
I need a recommendation on how to correctly install development environment and recommended architecture for my problem:
I would like to use Event-Driven Message Programming Model to convert a Biztalk sequential activity/orchestration workflow that coordinates several WCF service calls that are correlated by an ID.
So instead of polling the queue I would like to use the new message pump.
I would like to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 windows service as a production machine and Windows 7 as a development machine. I have yet to see how the Biztalk orchestration is being called. I believe it had an inter call from a Java JSP pages or a desktop app
calling a Biztalk WCF end point to start the workflow and then a number of asynchronous calls are made to different WCF endpoints (I believe .NET) sequentially waiting on the receiving end for the processing to finish and issue another similar calls.
I would like to user Rest API to talk to Service Bus and some lighter authentication like SharedSecret or SWT.
I was wondering if I need to have a client, a server and a listener at the minimum? I don' t know the role of the server and the listener (still learning).
I understand that Azure SDK includes some VS 2013 tooling and Azure libraries
There seem to be multiple ways to bring libraries on the develpment machines:
-Nuget packages
-Platfrom Installer
I currently have these installed:
-Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 RC
-Windows Azure SDK for .NET 2.2
I heard that the last compatible version of Windows Azure Service Bus 2.1.4 nuget package
which contains Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll with
- Assembly Version 2.1.0.0 and
- File Version 2.1.31019.0 (I believe this is current version of the on-premises version of the Service Bus)
When installing Windows Azure SDK for .NET 2.2 I found Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\v2.2\ref folder
Assembly Version 2.2.0.0
File Version 2.2.30924.1
So my questions:
Any examples of Event-Driven Message Prog. Model (publish-subscribe and temporal decoupling)
What tooling in VS 2013 does PI Windows Azure Service Bus 1.1 package installer provide?
Any non-VS tooling like MMC or powershell commandlets?
How to get any updates of .net libraries installed with above package?
How Windows Azure SDK for .NET 2.2 is impacting Windows Azure Service Bus 1.1
i.e. can I have it installed or I have to uninstall it and install compatible version Windows Azure SDK for .NET 2.1?
Or this compatibility only pertains to Nuget package:Windows Azure Service Bus currently
in 2.2.1.1 version and one needs to only obtain Windows Azure Service Bus 2.1.4 that is compatible with Windows Azure Service Bus 1.1?
Thanks,
