Architecture :: Web Service - File Download With MTOM?
Jan 18, 2011
I have a web service I put together that has a custom soap header for the authorization (UserName and Password).I have a function currently that will allow a user to download a file from my site via a web service.I have integrated this download to the membership system of the site.They are using a vb.net front end client to perform the download.The files I download are around a meg in size.I would like to show the download progess of the file.I was going to setup MTOM and download the file in chunks.I am trying to get around the authorization of each "chunk" of data that I am sending down to the client.I do not want to hit my authorization process for all of these calls to the web service with the file offset.The authorization header works well for other functions I have put together for this web service.
They set a username and password and then call a function for specific data that I am making available via the web service.Is there an easier method to stream a file to a user and show the download progress of the file?I was going to generate a token and have that token passed per chunk,but I still have to go through my security process.Can anyone assist in the proper design of a webservice to stream a file with progress and passing credientials.
I have an asp.net application running on a web farm that allows users to upload files and download them later via link to that file. Currently, I use Windows DFS to replicate the local IIS directory where the files are stored across the web farm servers. However, as this solution does not scale out, I want to implement a more scalable solution by partitioning the documents. Specifically, say I set up multiple file storage servers (Fs1, Fs2, Fs3, etc.) on the network. Further, let's say I change my upload page to save the uploaded file to one of the file storage servers on the local LAN (based on some logic). I assume so far I am safe with ASP.NET doing this much assuming I have the correct permission for the ASP.NET process ID. The question I have is withregards to download links. When a user gets served a download link to their document (e.g. http://www.testco.com/data/doc1.txt) is there a way for me to "intercept" that HTTP request and underneath the coversserve the doc1.txt from the file storage server (e.g. Fs2) it resides
I am trying to implement a service to download a image file. The code does nothing but upload a file to the response with each client request.
There are no SOAP messages involved but I am planning to implement it as ASP.NET web service. It can also be implement as ASP.NET website but since it has no view (forms, html etc) I planned to implement a web-service.
Download pdf file using webmothed asp.net without error. Can't download file .. what error ..
[WebMethod]   public static string usernamecheck(string name, string amount, string floder, string getfile) { string path = "PrintPDF.pdf"; HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";       HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + path);  // HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path));       HttpContext.Current.Response.TransmitFile(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path));       //HttpContext.Current.Response.End(); return ""; }
i want to create a centralised business or Service authendication architecture in .net. for example, we have a clients like c1, c2, c3, c4, ... etc. everybody logins seperatly as well as grouply. ie, if client "C1" logins [with login authentication] he can access c2 , c3, c4 also without login authendication. So its like a google. if we enters gmail account, we can access orkut, picasa like that.. i need the cetralised architecture.
And, client "c1" seperately asks seperately how will be the authendication architecture.
so give me the single solution for both these two scenarios. how will be the architecture for these two and how is the Data Base (Login) Structure.
I am going to create the SAAS (Software as a service) Application. Can you please provide all the attributes that we have to consider in SAAS application (for example usability, pluggable architecture etc .. )
How architecture should be build for this project, provide sample architecture for SAAS application. This architecture should be easy to upload and upgrade or degrade the features. Error handling should be easy.
I am try to create architecture design for WCF service.
We have WCF service that we have to expose to third party so then can request with xml and get back xml response.
The wcf service should do the following:
- Accept the request call with xml
- Check xml against the schema
- Parse the xml
- Authenticate the incoming xml by username and password that will be in xml
- Send back the response
If anybody can let me know what kind of design I can use or is there any pattern available that I can take it and then extend it as per my requirement.
I am not sure which approach I should use. I have a web application that needs to get/receive data from a third party application that is in a secure remote network. The data needs to be secure during transport. The data layers cannot be exposed and the databases will not talk to each other. The data will be received from remote application on demand, or will get at scheduled intervals.
I have looked at WCF, but not sure if this will work. Can a WCF service be used to receive data as needed from a remote sender or service? Is this a secure way of doing it? I have also looked at SFTP using some XML/XSLT, but I don't think this is the right way to go. In addition, some data may be transported from my web application to the remote application (mostly reports at first). What protocols are used to transfer data between HIPAA compliant applications?
I'm currently trying to work out the best way to build this web application, which will then be intergrated on other systems, such as WinForms, Intranets etc.
We hope to include the usual layers i.e. DAL, BLL, BOL and UI but I have been experimenting with Entity Framework 4 and WCF Data Services and managed to get something in place where I was using WCF as a gateway to EF4.
i.e. Adding a Service Reference to my project and then using the EF4 context and writing LINQ queries against the DB
e.g.[Code]....
Now with the current setup I would still need to write a DAL Class Library, that interacts with the Data Service, because as I said WCF Data Services only seems to be a gateway, I can't see where to put the code (above) in the Data Service and then how I could these methods.
My questions are: 1. How do I develop a WCF Data Service in such a way to allow this behaviour - I know how I could do it using ASMX web service, something like [Code]....
2. If I am to use WCF Data Services, how is serialization handled (if at all) - again I know how to do something in ASMX web services
3. Again, If I am to use WCF, how do I add Security and only allow my applications to access the web service - for obvious reasons
4. Would it be possible / logical to also include the Business Logic Layer into the web service?
I am trying to consume a java wenb service which has MTOM feature enabled. I developed a Asp.Net aplication as client which consumes the above java webservice. How can we enable MTOM feature on the asp.net Client ?
I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?
I have an off-line project. User uses a laptop to input data off line into local SQL server express. Once connected to domain (on line), local data will sync with remote SQL server using sync framework. (It is done, works fine)
One job left:
Since another user used another program to update some tables in remote SQL server, such as CUSTOMER, SHIPINFO, my off-line program need to update these new data once connect to domain.
Here is what I design in Pseudo code: (take CUSTOMER as example)
1) In remote SQL server, create a store procedure (sp_customer) to select all CUSTOMERS
2) In application, create a dataset (dst_customer) based on sp_customer
3) Insert all customers data which is in remote SQL server but not in local SQL server based on CUSTOMER_ID
We need to download multiple files from remote servers. It is a process that would take few hours to complete, since we are talking about images ~50kb each and more than 250.000 in total. Each images will downloaded, resized and then imported to SQL.DB, so we do not need to write files to the disk. Also the applications need to use network credentials, since it is behind ISA.
From your experience, what is the best method to implement this? Should we use WebClient or HttpSockets? Should we use Async methods or Threads ? How can we implement for example 5 simultaneously download to achieve better speed, since we may getting files from many different servers at once?
i m creating asp.net Mobile website page to download symbian .sis file to mobile ,but its not geting download properly.its working perfectly on desktop.
I am downloading file from database using the following code. This code downloads an excel file from the database which has a macro attached to it when it is opened. This macro reads file name of the excel file and uses it for its computation. Everthing works file if user saves the file on his harddisk and then open if but if he directly opens the file from the dialog(by hitting 'Open' button) then file name of the opened excel file comes out be the name of the webform that has the above code and this leads to error in the macro. Is there any option through which i can control the name of the file if user directly opens the file from dialog or the option to disable or remove 'Open' button form the dialog?
My company has just purchased a .net version of Cete Pdf Merger (great product btw). We use both .Net & asp code and will likely use java in the future as well.
The scenario is that one technology (asp, java, .net) would have a list of raw data such as an array of field names & values. This data would be posted to the web service that would then open a given pdf, match pdf form fields to the field names array, grab the corresponding value, populate it on the pdf, and then stream the pdf back to the user to download.
I wanna embed the windows service in the web application. I have seen few posts in the web. where they generate separate exe for the windows service and use it as an installable.
The same process i tried doing it but it threw an OS error in my server which is windows 2000 and didnt supported the executable.
However the website of mine runs fine in the same server. Thus i was thinking if i cd embed the same code in the web application.
Also, in my case the website of mine takes job for simulation. These jobs are taken for simulation execution and nearly takes 12hrs for completion and if they are not completed within twelve hours then they are supplied extra twelve hours to complete the simulation jobs.
The simulation executables are a series of executable and bat files.
The results of the simulation gets updated in the tables of MySql and hence are displayed to the user.
I've never tried this myself, but am attempting to build a proto-type of a discovery service (much like WS-DISCO Services) for a research project I'm currently working on.
Was wondering if anyone had tried it before with WCF/ASP.NET and have any articles/blog posts to share?
