Problem with WCF dual binding callback channel: channel is faulty - c#

I am facing problem with client which cannot register callback channel on second start. I tried various things it seems I found a solution to remove Close() channel (ResetProxy() call in wrapper) call on shutdown of service. But this it turns out causing another problem: the server is crashing with error "The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access".
Additionally, there are network related issues which also result in same behavior. The solution is always to restart the server which is not really right option to fix callback channel registration.
Could anyone suggest what could be the problem? I've done a lot of testing, and it seems this somehow relates to sudden stop of all clients (global stop of multiple services) and the number of services matters too. As result even new client cannot register with server until server is rebooted. This sounds like server is holding up closed channels.

The number of your clients may exceed the value of Maxconcurrentinstances.
Maxconcurrentinstances is a positive integer that limits the number of instancecontext objects that can be executed through ServiceHost at a time. When the number of slots is below the limit, requests to create other instances are queued and completed. The default value is the sum of maxconcurrentsessions and maxconcurrentcalls.You need to close the channel after each client-side completes.Otherwise, there will be an exception after the client has been queuing for a long time.
try
{
if (client.State != System.ServiceModel.CommunicationState.Faulted)
{
client.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
client.Abort();
}
The close method may fail. If the close method fails, the abort method is required.

IBM MQ Reconnect logic for subscriber

I am have a windows service which will subscribe to a queue and process messages continuously. Every thing is working except except for the reconnect logic. I am using IBM.XMS.dll version 8 in my code.
I am having issues in re-establishing the subscription when IBM Websphere MQ server fail-over happens. During fail-over, I get the following exception:
IBM.XMS.IllegalStateException: XMSCC0026

Separate Logfile and directory for each client and date

I have a windows TCP service, which has many devices connecting to it, and a client can have one or more devices.
Requirement:
Separate Folder per client with separate log file for each device.
so something like this:
/MyService/25-04-2016/
Client 1/
Device1.txt
Device2.txt
Device3.txt
Client 2/
Device1.txt
Device2.txt
Device3.txt

if (_clientId > -1) { logFilesLocation = string.Format("{0}{1}\\{2}\\", _logFilesLocation, dateTime, _clientId); }
var fullLogFile = string.IsNullOrEmpty(logFileName) ? "GeneralLog.txt" : string.Format("{0}.txt", logFileName);
var msg = string.Format("{0} | {1} | {2}\r\n", DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"), messageType, message);
fullLogFile = GenerateLogFilePath(logFilesLocation, fullLogFile);
LogToFile(fullLogFile, msg);
}
private string GenerateLogFilePath(string objectLogDirectory, string objectLogFileName)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(objectLogDirectory))
throw new ArgumentNullException(string.Format("{0} location cannot be null or empty", "objectLogDirectory"));
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(objectLogFileName))
throw new ArgumentNullException(string.Format("{0} cannot be null or empty", "objectLogFileName"));
if (!Directory.Exists(objectLogDirectory))
Directory.CreateDirectory(objectLogDirectory);
string logFilePath = string.Format("{0}\\{1}", objectLogDirectory, objectLogFileName);
return logFilePath;
}
private void LogToFile(string logFilePath, string message)
{
if (!File.Exists(logFilePath))
{
File.WriteAllText(logFilePath, message);
}
else
{
lock (fileLocker)
{
File.AppendAllText(logFilePath, message);
}
}
}
public void Dispose()
{
fileLocker = new object();
}
}
And then I can use it like this:
var _logger = new xPTLogger("DeviceId", 12);
_logger.LogMessage(MessageType.Info, string.Format("Information Message = [{0}]", 1));
The problem with the above class is that, because the service is multi-threaded, some threads try to access the same log file at the same time causing an Exception to Throw.
25-Apr-2016 13:07:00 | Error | Exception: The process cannot access the file 'D:\LogFiles\25-Apr-2016\0\LogFile.txt' because it is being used by another process.
Which sometimes causes my service to crash.
How do I make my Logger class to work in multi-threaded services?

If you don't want to use existing solutions, the reasonable approach to handle multithreaded writes in your logger is to use queue. Here is a sketch:
public class LogQueue : IDisposable {
private static readonly Lazy<LogQueue> _isntance = new Lazy<LogQueue>(CreateInstance, true);
private Thread _thread;
private readonly BlockingCollection<LogItem> _queue = new BlockingCollection<LogItem>(new ConcurrentQueue<LogItem>());
private static LogQueue CreateInstance() {
var queue = new LogQueue();
queue.Start();
return queue;
}
public static LogQueue Instance => _isntance.Value;
public void QueueItem(LogItem item) {
_queue.Add(item);
}
public void Dispose() {
_queue.CompleteAdding();
// wait here until all pending messages are written
_thread.Join();
}
private void Start() {
_thread = new Thread(ConsumeQueue) {
IsBackground = true
};
_thread.Start();
}
private void ConsumeQueue() {
foreach (var item in _queue.GetConsumingEnumerable()) {
try {
// append to your item.TargetFile here
}
catch (Exception ex) {
// do something or ignore
}
}
}
}
public class LogItem {
public string TargetFile { get; set; }
public string Message { get; set; }
public MessageType MessageType { get; set; }
}
Then in your logger class:
private void LogToFile(string logFilePath, string message) {
LogQueue.Instance.QueueItem(new LogItem() {
TargetFile = logFilePath,
Message = message
});
}
Here we delegate actual logging to separate class which writes log messages one by one, so cannot have any multithreading issues. Additional benefit of such approach is that logging happens asynchronously and as such does not slow down the real work.
Drawback is you can lose some messages in case of process crash (don't think that is really a problem but still mention it) and you consume separate thread to log asynchronously. When there is one thread it's not a problem but if you create one thread per device, that might be (though there is no need to - just use single queue, unless you really write A LOT of messages per second).
While it probably isn't the most elegant solution, you could have retry logic built in. For example:
int retries = 0;
while(retries <= 3){
try{
var _logger = new xPTLogger("DeviceId", 12);
_logger.LogMessage(MessageType.Info, string.Format("Information Message = [{0}]", 1));
break;
}
catch (Exception ex){
//Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
retries++;
}
}
Also, I wrote that code just now without actually testing it so if there's some stupid error in it forgive me. But quite simply it'll try to write to the log as many times as you set in the "while" line. You can even add a sleep statement in the catch block if you think it'd be worth it.
I have no experience with Log4Net or NLog so no comment there. Maybe there's a sweet solution via one of those packages. Good luck!

Inheriting class with required constructor in generics

I have several objects in my solution that use the following pattern:
#region Repositories
private RepositoryAccount _account;
private RepositoryInquiry _inquiry;
private RepositoryLoan _loan;
public RepositoryAccount Account { get { return _account ?? (_account = new RepositoryAccount(this)); } }
public RepositoryInquiry Inquiry { get { return _inquiry ?? (_inquiry = new RepositoryInquiry(this)); } }
public RepositoryLoan Loan { get { return _loan ?? (_loan = new RepositoryLoan(this)); } }
#endregion
I created a Generic Class to try to make the Property handling a little cleaner but ran into a snag. The Property Class looks like:
public class Property<T> where T : class, new()
{
private T _value;
public T Value
{
get { return _value ?? (_value = new T()); }
set
{
// insert desired logic here
_value = value;
}
}
public static implicit operator T(Property<T> value)
{
return value.Value;
}
public static implicit operator Property<T>(T value)
{
return new Property<T> { Value = value };
}
}
I replace my property (with backing objects) with the new Generic Property like:
public Property<RepositoryAccount> Account { get; set; }
public Property<RepositoryInquiry> Inquiry { get; set; }
public Property<RepositoryLoan> Loan { get; set; }
However, if you noticed in the original public getter, I need to instantiate each object with another object: this is required and there is no paramaterless constructor for these repository objects.
Any suggestions?
The whole object looks like:
public class UnitOfWorkSymitar : IUnitOfWork

There is a solution using reflection although it might not be the cleanest OOP one. A method of the FormatterService class in the System.Runtime namespace FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject() will create an instance without calling the constructor. There is a similar answer to this problem here.
In order to make it work with your solution you have to make some changes to your code. First of all remove the new() from your generic class Property declaration otherwise you will always get an error from the compiler if you try to use a type T with no parameter-less constructor. Second add this method to your Property class:
private T GetInstance()
{
return (T)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(T)); //does not call ctor
}
It will return an unitialized object but it won't call the constructor.
Here is the full code:
public class Property<T> where T : class
{
private T _value;
public T Value
{
get
{
return _value ?? (_value = GetInstance());
}
set
{
// insert desired logic here
_value = value;
}
}
private T GetInstance()
{
return (T)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(T)); //does not call ctor
}
public static implicit operator T(Property<T> value)
{
return value.Value;
}
public static implicit operator Property<T>(T value)
{
return new Property<T> { Value = value };
}
}
I created a gist here, you can try the code into LinqPad and see the result.
hope it helps.

Exception in Publisher Subscriber model while working in WCF

I have made a WCF publisher Subscriber service which handles 70 to 80 connections per day
If a connection breaks in between ( due to internet connection failure , System shutdown etc.)
the service itself will try to set up a connection itself when the connectivity resumes.
sometime back I am noticed my service is throwing exceptions (operation Timed out)
This request operation sent to net.tcp://localhost:2001/sub did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:00:59.9799877). The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. This may be because the service is still processing the operation or because the service was unable to send a reply message. Please consider increasing the operation timeout (by casting the channel/proxy to IContextChannel and setting the OperationTimeout property) and ensure that the service is able to connect to the client
and then after some of these Exceptions RM destination time out exceptions are coming up which faults the line for further communication with the service
The request to create a reliable session has been refused by the RM Destination. Server
'net.tcp://localhost:2001/Sub' is too busy to process this request. Try again later. The channel could not be opened.
During this time the the clients already subscribed are responding successfully to the pub sub requests
No new Channels are subscribing to the service

Having problem with WCF Service with static data

Update: with help from Henk, determined that public Dispose() is being called, which in turn calls private Dispose(true). This is my first implementation of IDisposable interface, so not sure if it is correct. I don't call Dispose explicitly anywhere. It seems that WCF architecture is calling it on exit from each OperationContract member.
Took unmanaged cleanup code out of Dispose for now, and multiple calls are able to access the static data. It seems that Dispose() is called on all locally allocated objects on return from calls, even if there is a reference to object in static storage. Not sure in .net world how to get around this so that IDisposable interface will get callled correctly. I'm guessing that these objects will get garbage collected at some point also.
Here is call stack on return from 1st call when Dispose is being called:

I read some posts on caching static data in a WCF service implementation class, and was having a problem with the GC calling dispose on the objects in a static Dictionary. I am referencing some activex objects from IBM iSeries Access, so I implemented IDisposable interface to clean up connection to iSeries. My problem is the GC is Disposing of objects in the Static members of the Service class. Not sure all the code was required, but here it is anyway. The problem is that on return from each OperationContract method, the GC is calling Dispose on the ISeriesSystem or Queue object that was added to the associated Dictionary, but the ISeriesSystem Dictionary is static, so I thought that it held a reference to the object, so GC wouldn't be done until it is removed from Dictionary.

Does it happen regularly or every now and then? Does it happen under development or only (after some time) on the production server?
When you host this under IIS, the server might decide to 'recycle' your app. Basic advice: don't use static in server apps. It's not reliable and not scalable.
Edit
OK, I've read a little more (but not all).
The problem is that on return from
each OperationContract method, the GC
is calling Dispose on the
ISeriesSystem or Queue object
You should verify that in great detail. Is it really the GC that calls your Finalizer(s) (aka destructors)? You should use logging or debugging to verify that the overload Dispose(false) is being called. If Dispose(true) is called (and I see a lot of code involved in doing that) you should stacktrace to the actual cause.
Can you put the following code :
[ServiceContract(SessionMode = SessionMode.Required)]
on your service contract just to make sure the transport session is being created? If it isn't this should throw an error.
WSHttpBinding does not create a transport session without security and reliable session.
EDIT :
Other than that, since you are creating a Single Instance service, why would you need static members? There is only going to be one instance alive, so, any instance members of that instance will live with it and will be kind of static. Have you thought about that or there is a specific reason for using static members?
I know it's a bit late but have you tried adding the [OperationBehavior(AutoDisposeParameters = false)] attribute?
