Best Practices and Recover a Faulted Channel

[graween]

Hi.

I have a question.
Sometimes our WCF net.tcp binded service falls in faulted mode.
For the moment to get a new working connection, we have to restart the client app.... Not very nice.

How do you recover from this state using spring and wcf ? For the moment we're using the client proxy in singleton mode. This was the only way we've found to avoid a second problem. The second problem being we don't know how to close a channel, and after a certain time od use we exceed the default (10) number of channel allowed.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Singleton WCF proxy sounds like a bad idea. The proxy channel can get in a faulted state and is no longer usable then. There's some discussion at least here:

Generally it's advisable to have some kind of template to wrap WCF calls to prevent misuse.
