QUESTION 6
A Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) solution uses the following contract to share a message across its clients. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
01 <ServiceContract()>
02 Public Interface ITeamMessageService
03
04 <OperationContract()>
05 Function GetMessage() As String
06
07 <OperationContract()>
08 Sub PutMessage(ByVal message As String)
09 End Interface
The code for the service class is as follows.
10 Public Class TeamMessageService
11 Implements ITeamMessageService
12
13 Dim key As Guid = Guid.NewGuid()
14 Dim message As String = "Today s Message"
15
16 Public Function GetMessage() As String _
17 Implements ITeamMessageService.GetMessage
18
19 Return String.Format("Message:{0}. Key:{1}", message, key)
20 End Function
21
22 Public Sub PutMessage(ByVal message As String) _
23 Implements ITeamMessageService.PutMessage
24
25 Me.message = message
26 End Sub
27
28 End Class
The service is self-hosted. The hosting code is as follows.
29 Dim host As ServiceHost =
New ServiceHost(GetType(TeamMessageService)) 30 Dim binding As BasicHttpBinding =
New BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None)
31 host.AddServiceEndpoint( "MyApplication.ITeamMessageService", binding, "http://localhost:12345")

C. Pass a service instance to the instancing code in line 29, as follows.
Dim host As ServiceHost = New ServiceHost(New TeamMessageService())
D. Redefine the message string in line 14, as follows. Shared message As String = "Today s Message"
E. Then change the implementation of PutMessage in lines 22-26 to the following. Public Sub PutMessage(ByVal message As String) _
Implements ITeamMessageService.PutMessage TeamMessageService.message = message End Sub

Answer: A

QUESTION 7
You are creating a Window s Communication Foundation (WCF) service application. The application needs to service many clients and requests simultaneously.
The application also needs to ensure subsequent individual client requests provide a stateful conversation.
You need to configure the service to support these requirements.
Which attribute should you add to the class that is implementing the service?

A. [ ServiceBehavior ( InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single )]
B. [ ServiceBehavior ( InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall,
ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Reentrant )]
C. [ ServiceBehavior ( InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple )]
D. [ ServiceBehavior ( InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple )]

Answer: C

QUESTION 8
You are configuring services to be discoverable. The services must be discoverable without relying on a central server. Client applications that consume the services are on a network segment that is separate from the network segment that the services are located on.
A firewall blocks all TCP ports between the two network segments, but allows other protocols to pass through.
You need to ensure that the client applications can discover the services.
What should you do?

A. Use ad-hoc discovery mode over HTTP.
B. Use ad-hoc discovery mode over UDP.
C. Use managed discovery mode over HTTP.
D. Use managed discovery mode over UDP.

Answer: B

Explanation: Explanation/Reference:
Managed discovery modes are incorrect, they require central server for discovery. By default the .NET Framework contains support for Ad-Hoc discovery over the UDP protocol
