How to: Create a Service That Requires Sessions

Sessions create a shared state between two or more endpoints that enables useful features such as callbacks, multi-hop security, and associations between clients and service instances. For more information about sessions in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications, see Using Sessions.

To specify that a contract require its binding to support sessions

Create a service contract with at least one operation. For an example of how to create a service contract, see How to: Define a Windows Communication Foundation Service Contract.
Modify the System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute that declares the contract by setting the System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute.SessionMode property to either:
- System.ServiceModel.SessionMode.Required if this contract must be run within a session.
- System.ServiceModel.SessionMode.Allowed if this contract can be run within a session.
- System.ServiceModel.SessionMode.NotAllowed if this contract must not be run within a session.

Configure your service endpoint to use a binding that supports sessions. The following configuration example shows the use of the System.ServiceModel.WSDualHttpBinding, which supports a WS-ReliableMessaging session.

<appSettings>
  <!-- use appSetting to configure base address provided by host -->
  <add key="baseAddress" value="https://localhost:8080/ServiceMetadata" />
</appSettings>
<system.serviceModel>
  <services>
    <service 
      name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.DuplexHello"
      behaviorConfiguration="mex"
    >
      <endpoint
        address="/DuplexService"
        binding="wsDualHttpBinding"
        contract="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.IDuplexHello"
       />
      <endpoint
        address=""
        binding="mexHttpBinding"
        contract="IMetadataExchange"
      />
    </service>
  </services>
  <behaviors>
    <serviceBehaviors>
      <behavior name="mex" >
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
      </behavior>
    </serviceBehaviors>
  </behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>

Example

The following example code shows how to specify a contract-level session requirement and use a configuration file to support that requirement with the System.ServiceModel.WSDualHttpBinding binding.
