Calling Cached Data (in Service Layer) From A MVC View?
Jul 22, 2010
We are adding tooltips to our ASP.NET MVC product, and we are getting the text from our database (technically, from a cached copy of the data). To do so, we created an Html Helper method:
<%=Html.Tooltip(Model.GetTooltipText(Tooltips.ClientPage.StartDateId))%>
The GetTooltipText method is in our BaseViewModel, and simply uses the passed in Id to fetch the tooltip from cache. Would this be considered a bad design? What other alternatives would we have?

I'm reading through Architecting Microsoft .Net Solutions for the Enterprise and I try to figure a couple of things out concerning the Presenter and the Service Layer.
First off, my Presenter needs to call methods that reside in the Service Layer, like initialize(), save() etc. But where do I place a reference to the service layer? Should it be at class level in the Presenter, or should I define a new service in the presenter methods itself?
Second - this isn't really clear in the book either - is this how the processing from the Presenter to the Service Layer works?:

We're building a large web app that has numerous layers. In order to communicate to the business layer we're using a service layer that the web layer calls when data is needed. Unfortunately, it seems that if exceptions are thrown in the business layer, it seems that the services on the web side are wrapping the exceptions and re-throwing them. We're looking for a clear way to encapsulate the error and log it, without WCF wrapping a new exception around the original.

I have created a table adapter in DAL. I have created a gridview in the page and want to fill the gridview with a table data by calling a method. My table has 11 columns but i want to display only 2 columns of the table. My getSong() method has a query as Select title, category from Muisc. But it diaplyas all columns with no data except title and category and the autoincrement primary key column with negative values. The pic is given below. How can i solve it?

I'm trying to reevaluate our n-layer architecture and would love to get some based on your experiences. Here is our typical .NET n-layer (sometimes n-tier) design.
Project.UI
Project.Services
Project.Business
Project.Model
Project.DataAccess
DataAccess typically consists of Entity Framework 4 and Repository classes. I attempt to follow the Aggregate Root concept in order to avoid having a repository for table, easier said than done in my experience. I tend to have ~70% match between Repositories and Tables.
Model usually consists of my Entity Framework 4 entities, I've been using Self-Tracking EF entities with success.
Business is what I struggle with the most. I typically have a Manager class for every Repository. This class will contain methods like .Add() which will perform business validation before forwarding down to repository.Add().
Services, typically I will only implement this if in fact I am looking to create a web service based solution. This layer will be tasked with marshaling requests/responses between DTOs and entities. And most importantly provide the more coarse grained interface. For example a TradingService.SubmitTrade(), which is really a facade for a business transaction which might include AccountManager.ValidateCash(), OrderManager.SubmitOrder(), etc.
My business layer is very entity centric, really it's just the glue between the entities and the repository, with validation in between. I've seen many designs where the Service Layer is what holds a reference to the repositories (in essence skipping the "business layer"). In essence it serves the same purpose as my Business layer, it does the validation, however its' responsibility (and naming) is a higher level, more coarse grained business transaction. Using the example above the TradingService.submitTrade() will not delegate to any business manager classes, it would itself query the necessary repositories, perform all the validation etc.
I like my design in a sense that I can reuse a business layer method in multiple service calls, however I hate the fact that for every repository I have a matching business layer manager, creating tons of extra work. Maybe the solution is a different type of grouping at the Business Layer level? For example combine individual Manager classes like PhoneManager and EmailManager (note I have Phone entities and Email entities) into a logical Manager class such as ContactsManager (note I don't have a "Contact" entity type). With methods such as ContactManager.GetPhones() and ContactManager.GetEmail(), etc.

Just wondering, in an ASP.NET MVC3 environnement with entity framework. Should the Unit of Work point to the service layer or the repository (and then the repository point to the service layer) ?
Ive saw two example:
* One where the unit of work and repository both have an instance to the service layer..
Link: Entity Framework 4 CTP 4 / CTP 5 Generic Repository Pattern and Unit Testable
Doesn't use a service layer but its obvious that one could be use in that case.
* Second where the unit of work have an instance to the repository which have an instance to the service layer..

What would be better ?

I have been researching for a while and have actually created a prototype ASP.NET web service as a DAL for a few ASP.NET 2.0 web sites. Just would like to ask for some insight/advice from more experienced developers out there who had successfully rolled out DAL as a web service. What are the drawbacks/risks to deploying DAL as a web service? What is the best way to secure or authenticate consumption of this web service? WCF is out of the question, I'll be coding in VS 2005.

In my ASP.NET app, I noticed that the results of any web service calls are cached. I don't want any results to be cached, how can I stop the browser from caching the results?Update:Here's the proxy code generated by calling the web service URL appending '/js', e.g. /mywebservice.asmx/js
var MyWebService=function() {
MyWebService.initializeBase(this);
this._timeout = 0;
this._userContext = null;
this._succeeded = null;
this._failed = null;

I have a datagridview control that I'm using to display cache data to the end used on a web form. The issue that I'm having is that every time I re-run the application, and the cache data is re-generated... it loads duplicate data that's being displayed to the end user. I can't seem to figure out how to keep this from happening.
What I would like to have happen is that only unique data rows be returned and cached for the end user. Unless there are new data rows on the database that needs to be included in the cache data results...the previous data results should not be duplicated. I've tried to change a few properties on the datagridview control, but nothing seem to keep this from happening.

We're doing a data integration project between a MS Sql Server database and a Microsoft CRM system (through its web services).
We're trying to build a "service" layer on top of the database. The design of our current solution is to use web services for CRUD, with xml being the format of data.
Views are created to consolidate related tables into one entity, and we query these views, using the "SELECT * FROM someview " + "For XML" to generated xml that will be returned from our web services.
For update we're trying to use the same approach - using SQL XML to map updates views, we have "instead of" triggers defined on top of these views, and in these "instead of" triggers we update the underlying tables.
The views/triggers are generated by tools so don't be too concerned with coding efficiency here...
what do you think if we use WCF data Provider to publish a enterprise data model (essentially DTOs) ? p.s., we don't have a BL layer for now, it's all in the stored procedures!!!
What's your opinion on this / any better design?

I've a static page method in web form application and I want to call method on private class level variable from it as shown below. I'm using jQuery to call the page method.
private readonly ICatalogBLL _catalogBLL = new CatalogBLL();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
_catalogBLL.GetSomething();
}
}
[WebMethod]
public static UpdateSomething(int i)
{
//Want to do as below. But can't call it from a static method.
_catalogBLL.UpdateSomething();
}
UPDATE If I call it as said by John Saunders, won't it use the same instance for requests from different users as it is within a static method?

I am building a web site following the tutorials on asp.net. I am using dataset as data access lay, and writing classes to access the dataset. But the example is just basic ideas, how do I retrieve individual table column value in the business layer?For example, if I have a table called Product, I only want to find out what is the product name by product id. I did this in my ProductBLL:
public ProductBLL
{
public int GetProductName(string productId)
{
ProductDataSet.ProductDataTable prodData = Adapter.GetProductById(productId);
[code]...
Is there a better way, or am I doing this correctly? Can anybody give me a reference to a more complicated business logic model?

I was going through the MVC samples regarding validation at the service layer and I have a question and probably a dumb question at that.
If you have the item below, the data is already in the product object and this is fine if you are expecting mappings with the correct data types, however presuming UnitsInStock is an Int, then if the user had typed in "banana," and considering that nothing has been validated on the server side at this point, then the app would have failed as soon as you tried to insert "banana" into UnitsInStock when the form returned from wherever at the controller layer.
protected bool ValidateProduct(Product productToValidate)
{
if (productToValidate.Name.Trim().Length == 0)[code]....
So my question is...is there a tricksy way (or best practice way) of dealing with this or do you have to use a "dirtyProduct" all strings object that you validate at the service layer and which returns a clean "Product" object if is "isValid" that can be passed into the repository?

I am working on Tenant module that has to display following fileds, Tenant Id, Tenant Desc, Contact Person, Contact Phone. In the DB, these are designed as two separate tables - Tenant and Contact. Tenant table has Tenant Id, tenant Desc and Contact Id . Contact table has all the contact related properties. I am using EF as DAL.
To make my system loosely coupled, I have created a repository pattern to talk to EF entities. Also, for validation I am using service layer.
My repository layer has two interfaces and classes corresponding to Tenant and Contact.
public interface ITenantRepository : IRepository<Tenant> // IRepository<T> is a generic interface for CRUD operations
{
Tenant Get(int id);
IEnumerable<Tenanr> List() ;

We are designing a system that has functionality that is essentially the same at the presentation layer and the exposed API layer. My question is what technique / strategy to use so we can get the most reuse out of our code with performance in mind? Here's a simplified example: A user can add a Customer via a web form. This will fire the Customer.Create() method. An API consumer / user can add a Customer via a SOAP / HTTP-POST to a web service which will call the Customer.Create() method.
Imagine these layers:
PRESENTATION
|
|
WEB SERVICE API (Customer.Create() is available here
|
|
FACADE Business Object Interface - Customer.Create() signature is here
|
|
BUSINESS Business object - Customer.Create method() is fleshed out here
|
|
DATA ACCESS - Writes data
The presentation layer SOAP calls the Create() web method, which calls the facade's Create() method which calls the business object's Create() method which wires via the data access layer.
Questions:
Is there a concern about performance in using the API's web services in our presentation layer, or are there alternatives to connect the presentation layer directly to the facade? If so, what technology to use (WCF, Remoting, Web Services, etc)?

Assuming that I do not need the cross domain capability, what is a good option in terms of Security and ease of development?
