WCF / ASMX :: Best Practice For Blocking Requests Until Data Is Cached?
Mar 13, 2011
I have a RESTful webservice. This webservice builds some information (which can take upwards of a couple seconds) and caches the contents.
This works well; however, suppose that many of the same requests come in at about the same time. In our current scenario, each request will build the content before caching. This is obviously not desired as it uses CPU time that could be better served elsewhere. What I would like to do is to suspend/block requests to the same url/cachekey until the content has been built and cached, at which time those other requests will be unblocked and simply fetch the content from cache.
I am not sure the best way. The following are options I have thought about:
Use string.Intern on that cache key and lock. Problem is that this could cause a deadlock if that string is used elsewhere. Use a ConcurrentDictionary and WaitHandle objects to allow other request to lookup in the dictionary if a request is being processed and then "wait" for the request to finish. This would at least give me a timeout capability but I am concerned with the performance of creating many wait handles.

I used following to cache my ASP.NET page.
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60));
The problem is when I send AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) request from other page to this page, that response does not get cached on any browser but IE. (On IE, it gets cached even if I don't specify). How do I make it cache?

we have this web service that sends JSON code to an iPhone application.
Each time the app makes a request, the web serice accesses the database, grabs corresponding xml data, transforms it to JSON code and then sends it back to the app.
the xml data gets updated approximately every minute, you can assimiliate this process with a sport app of which you can watch live game commentaries.
Now the iPhone app is going to implement a refresh button which a user can proactivly hit it against the service to fetch the latest data.
So we need to implement something that is capable of handling multiple requests that could occur at the same time or in a very short period of time.

which is better approach from performance point of view, is it better to use one web-service method to load data by passing Database Table name and keys or is it better to use separate method for each database table! knowing that i'm using .net asmx through ajax requests.it's obvious that one method is better from OO perspective since it have one function type 'data loading' but what about performance? does IIS affected by that or not? also is it better to make multi web-services 'asmx files' or just one!

am new to web services and have a quick question. I've some data (an c# class object) that needs to be shared between two different users (of my web service) . all the methods in the web service have a parameter called "sessionkey" which can be used to know what data to share.
i need to know how/where to store this data ?

we are using the WCF service and hosted using a console application, now we are using LoadRunner and hitting it concurrently
Where giving 50 hits at a time few requests (26) gets completed successfully and remaining gives error TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I am calling a web service in my aspx page. the web service (written in java) is acting as a middleware between my system and another system (Siebel) to which I send services and get response for these services. some requests are synchronous. Sometimes when invoking a method the response takes a long time to respond, so a time out exception is thrown.
The problem is that the web service is receiving the same request many times despite I am calling it only once.In my log file and database entries it is clear that the request is called only once. but in the middleware and Siebel side they are receving four or five requests for the same request sent by me.
Is this a bug in asp.net. is it possible that the server where my application is deployed is sending the request many times when not getting the response.Note: iam using Visual studion 2005. the application is deployed to windows server 2003.Iam not discussing the problem of time out. iam asking about the duplicate issue.

A customer wants us to create an ajax-enabled web application that can be used to manage their IT environment (Active directory, mail, file security, ...). However, as the team that will support the web application does not know anything about these IT systems, they would like to split the coding so that all interfacing with the IT environment is done via PowerShell, which is known by the administrators of these systems. This would mean that if new functionality is required, the web team can just create an additional web page and interface and use PowerShell scripts that get created by technically skilled people in that specific topic (ie mail administrators). I don't see an issue using this approach for requests like adding a user where latency is not an issue, but I do wonder if this is feasible for interactive content with Ajax.
Ie I would like to implement a google suggest like search for AD users. This would mean that ie for every x keystrokes (or x seconds whatever approach I implement) an Ajax request will be made and the web application or web service will than use PowerShell to get the data. Taken into account that up to about 75 users can use this feature, is this something that would work? Not only performace-wise but also the number of connections (I read about the Powershell 5 remote session limit but also that it could be put to a higher number)? The example above is probably the most resource heavy Ajax requests (and can be optimized by caching), so taken into account they don't want this nice feature, are basic PowerShell scripts in ajax request really an option. My gut feeling is telling me this is a no-go, but I don't want to exclude the option just because it's not something I usually would do.

If a user makes a second request to the same Web Service method while the first request is already running, is there a way to simply stop the execution of the first request and discard it immediately?
Usually what happens is users get impatient and click on a button 10 times when there's a performance blip in the system, which only makes things worse since the system now has to process 10 queued requests (the first 9 of which are now irrelevant) before any results are returned.

I've got a WCF web service that runs fine at the moment but there is talk about using it very heavily soon. As part of it's normal process it writes a file out, then reads it back in again (don't ask why, I know it's stupid). I'm concerned that if we start hitting it with lots of requests then the following might happen.
1. Request 1 writes the file out.
2. Request 2 comes in and overwrites the file.
3. Request 1 reads the file back in but this is now the wrong file.
My understanding is that the requests would naturally queue up so that request 2 wouldn't start until request 1 had finished, but I'm not totally sure.

I have uncommented the ScriptService line to allow access from scripts.
What else do I need to set to make jquery connections?
Can I prevent access from outside my app? I only want to provide a service for signed-in users (web forms) via own webpage.

I have a piece of code written in 2 different ways, one a web service and another a WCF client which are trying to access an external 3rd party URL.
The same code when written as an exe works fine, i see my submissions on the 3rd party site, while the web code does not work.
I installed Fiddler to check traffic and to my surprise the web code works when Fiddler is capturing traffic, As soon as I stop Fiddler my code does not work.
For the web service code I get error: The remote name could not be resolved:
For the WCF client I get error: There was no endpoint listening at <<3rd party URL>> that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.
Am quite sure now that this is because of some network and/or proxy on my corporate network, but not able to figure out what it can be.

I have a problem that is driving me insane. I have a simple detailsview that operates as you would expect a detailsview to do - the only difference being that in the updated event I send an email to various people to advise of detail changes (I have conditional testing to do this).
The problem is that if the user goes crazy with left clicking the update button, email recipients can receive multiple duplicate emails.
I have looked all over the net and seen many varied solutions for this problem - mainly using javascript - but none of them seem to be able to block multiple clicks without disabling or hiding the update button - which obviously causes issues with client side validation in the event that information is missing or incorrect.

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.

I am running into an odd problem, and this is the only thing I can think of. I'm storing a list in cache, and I am randomly losing items from my list as users use the site. I have a class that is called that either goes to cache and returns the list from there, or if the cache is over a certain time frame old, it goes to the database and refreshes the cache. So when I pull the data from cache, this is what it looks like....
results = (List<Software>)cache["software"];
And then I return results and do some processing, filter for security, and eventually it winds up on the screen. For each Software record, there can be multiple resources attached to it, and based on how the security goes they may see some, all, or none of the records. So in the security check it will remove some of those resources from the software record.So my question is.... when I return my results list, is it a reference directly to the cache object? So when I remove a resource from the software object, it is really removing from cache as well? If that is the case, is there any way to not return it as a reference?
edit: I think I may have just answered my own question.... so if I do something like this:
results = new List<Software>((List<Software>)cache["software"]);
it will copy the cached list to my results list, correct?

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?

U are caching a list of items, then Add or update or delete method called. Approach 1)
A- Do the data change at the database. If success do B, C
B- Remove the entire list from the Cache.
C- Re-Cache the list on first read.
Approach 2)
A- Do the data change at the database, If success do B
B- Do the same change at the cached items, and save more time.
Approach(2) probably will cause nasty difficult to spot bugs, because the data come from BLL and placed directly into cache, One can't assume no bugs will happen at the sproc, I am not worry about database runtime errors, runtime errors will show up, but I am worry about invalid data, or miss calculation. Can I proceed with approach (2) with caution? Is there a "best practice" principle which suggest not doing approach(2)?

I'm currently using the fantastic DorkNozzle 'framework' for building a very basic blog in .NET.My first "self-taught" script is as follows, and is for solely retrieving SQL results.
PHP Code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Dorknozzle.master" AutoEventWireup="true" Title="Blog" %>
<%@ Import Namespace = "System.Data.SqlClient" %>

I should change to perhaps improve my coding style, without going down the MVC line just yet?

I've ported a page from classic ASP to ASP.net. Part of what happens in this page is that a collection of custom types is generated and then displayed via Response.Write() commands. I'd like to get the business logic separated out into a code behind file (and maybe move this all into a user control), but I can't seem to figure out how I'd actually display the collection once it's been generated. I want to specify a master page here, too, so the code can't stay inline. Here's a very stripped down version of the current code:
