在本篇文章上一部分Order Processing的例子中,我们看到原本已Collection形式定义的DetailList属性(public IList<TDetail> DetailList),在Data Contract中却以Array的方式体现(public OrderDetail[] DetailList)。我们现在就来详细地讨论一下基于Collection & Dictionary 的Data Contract。
Data Contract for Collection 我们照例用例子来说明问题,在这里我们创建一个批量处理Order的Service,于是我们创建了一个OrderCollection Type:
代码语言:javascript复制namespace Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract
{
[DataContract]
public class Order
{
[DataMember]
public Guid OrderID
{ get; set; }
[DataMember]
public DateTime OrderDate
{ get; set; }
}
public class OrderCollection : List<Order>
{
}
}
下面是Service Contract的定义:
代码语言:javascript复制namespace Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IOrderManager
{
[OperationContract(Name = "ProcessWithCollection")]
void Process(OrderCollection orders);
}
面是OrderCollection 在XSD中的呈现:
代码语言:javascript复制<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract"
xmlns:ser="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">
<xs:import schemaLocation="http://artech/Artech.SpecialDataContract/OrderManagerService.svc?xsd=xsd1"
namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" />
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfOrder">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Order" nillable="true" type="tns:Order" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="ArrayOfOrder" nillable="true" type="tns:ArrayOfOrder"/>
<xs:complexType
name="Order">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="OrderDate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:element
minOccurs="0" name="OrderID" type="ser:guid"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element
name="Order" nillable="true" type="tns:Order"/>
</xs:schema>
加上通过Add Service Reference默认生成的Class,我们可以很清楚地看出Collection是以Array的形式呈现的(Artech.SpecialDataContract.Client.OrderManagerService.Order[] orders):
代码语言:javascript复制[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "3.0.0.0")]
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName="OrderManagerService.IOrderManager")]
public interface IOrderManager {
[System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action="http://tempuri.org/IOrderManager/ProcessWithCollection", ReplyAction="http://tempuri.org/IOrderManager/ProcessWithCollectionResponse")]
void ProcessWithCollection(Artech.SpecialDataContract.Client.OrderManagerService.Order[] orders);
}
因为Array相对很Common的数据类型,基本上所有的厂商均提供了对Array的支持,这也是WCF在通过Add Service Reference生成Client端代码的时候,会生成Array的原因。不过并不是我们只有唯一的选择,事实上VS为此提供了扩展,允许我们对于基于Collection 的Data Contract生成我们需要的各种类型,我们只需要在Add Service Reference的时候选择“Configure Service Reference”进行相应的配置:
通过上面的截图,我们发现在Collection Type一项我们有若干选项,我们可以选择我们希望生成的数据类型:Array,ArrayList,LinkedList,Generic List,Collection和BindingList。
Data Contract for Dictionary
前面的内容,我们分别讨论了基于Generic和Collection的Data Contract,接下来,我们来讨论最后一个特殊的数据类型的Data Contract:Dictionary。
延续上面的Order Batch Processing的例子,不过我们现在处理的不是一个OrderCollection对象,而是一个Dictionary对象,线面是Service Contract和Order的定义:
代码语言:javascript复制namespace Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IOrderManager
{
[OperationContract(Name = "ProcessWithCollection")]
void Process(OrderCollection orders);
[OperationContract(Name = "ProcessWithDictionary")]
void Process(IDictionary<Guid, Order> orders);
}
}
代码语言:javascript复制[DataContract]
public class Order
{
[DataMember]
public Guid OrderID
{ get; set; }
[DataMember]
public DateTime OrderDate
{ get; set; }
}
闲话少说,我们来看XSD:
代码语言:javascript复制<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:ser="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">
<xs:import schemaLocation="http://artech/Artech.SpecialDataContract/OrderManagerService.svc?xsd=xsd1" namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/"/>
<xs:import schemaLocation="http://artech/Artech.SpecialDataContract/OrderManagerService.svc?xsd=xsd2" namespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract"/>
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfKeyValueOfguidOrder_SkVQi6O3">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<IsDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">true</IsDictionary>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="KeyValueOfguidOrder_SkVQi6O3">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Key" type="ser:guid"/>
<xs:element name="Value" nillable="true" type="q1:Order" xmlns:q1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Artech.SpecialDataContract.Contract"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="ArrayOfKeyValueOfguidOrder_SkVQi6O3" nillable="true" type="tns:ArrayOfKeyValueOfguidOrder_SkVQi6O3"/>
</xs:schema>
Data Contract的名称为ArrayOfKeyValueOfguidOrder_SkVQi6O3=ArrayOfKeyValueOf guid(Key的类型) Order(Value) _SkVQi6O3(Hash Value)。从该XSD的结构我们不难看出,只是一个数组,每个元素为Key-Value pair。
我们照例看看通过Add Service Reference方式生成的Client端code中的对应的定义:
代码语言:javascript复制[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "3.0.0.0")]
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName="OrderManagerService.IOrderManager")]
public interface IOrderManager {
[System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action="http://tempuri.org/IOrderManager/ProcessWithDictionary", ReplyAction="http://tempuri.org/IOrderManager/ProcessWithDictionaryResponse")]
void ProcessWithDictionary(System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.Guid, Artech.SpecialDataContract.Client.OrderManagerService.Order> orders);
}
生成的是一个System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary类型。同Collection一样,也依然可以有多种选择:
