Hi folks,
Here’s the web service that I demoed tonight. This web service provides an authenticated and instrumented web service that uses a persistent, encrypted database cache to support web farm caching of generated results in 60 lines of code. It also (coincidentally) makes use of every one of the Enterprise Library application blocks directly, or through configuration.
You can download the demo here. The powerpoint file can be found at the Enterprise Library gotdotnet workspace (under releases on the right-hand side), this is a direct link to that file.
To run, ensure that you have created the Caching and Security databases (by running the .cmd files in the Enterprise Library source). Add a user “martin”, password “martin” using the SecurityDatabaseConsole.exe program. Make sure that the ASPNET account has access to the databases. You may also need to run the “Install Services” script to register instrumentation sources.
