More and more companies are adopting Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), (I am not going to explain SOA in this post, and it’s such an overloaded term and requires special dedication to explain) Service Orientation mainly takes use of WS-* standards to achieve service orientation. Managing new requirements, developing those requirements is become more complex. To overcome these difficulties Microsoft has enhanced .Net Framework and Windows Server, new version of Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF); Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a part of .Net Framework 4.0 for Windows Server. These enhanced capabilities codenamed as "Dub
