Ron,

IIS will handle multiple requests simultaneously, as well as the ServiceHost instance. However, depending on the instancing that you have set up, it's hard to say. If you are set up for a per-call instancing, then you don't have to worry, as a new instance of your service object will be created on each incoming request.

If you are set up as a singleton, then you will have one instance created for your service at a time, in which case, you have to take into account the concurrency of the singleton (this would typically be defined through the ServiceBehaviorAttribute, or through configuration). If you are not set up for Multiple, then each call will be serialized and be handled one at a time (although requests will come in on multiple threads and be queued).

Hi,

I have a WCF service using a WSHTTP binding context running under IIS.

My question specifically is that each request that is processed can potentially take quite some time to complete (a minute or so)...does the service by default handle multiple requests simultaneously...or do I need to implement multithreading in the service to make that happen?

...if so do I implement the multiple threading at then entry point method...or at which point?

Thank you for any insight you might be able to provide.
Ron
