How to create Net.TCP WCF binding for\using SOAP 1.1?

Question

How to create Net.TCP WCF binding for\\using SOAP 1.1? Is it posible?

If yes. What do I need?

• MSDN if there is any help on this.
• Open Source Libs/wrappers.
• Tutorials and blog articles on How to do it.

---

If no : I need know where did you get the information from (link to MSDN or other official WCF information resource).

Answer 1

I think TCP binding also uses SOAP protocol, but within SOAP message it uses binary encoding instead of text. For more clarification please see this article:

MSDN:

• Chapter 7: Message and Transport Security

Answer 2

• SOAP is an XML format.
• Net tcpbinding is a binary format.

They are two different things.

What you can do is to expose a service with 2 endpoints, one SOAP and one binary.

Answer 3

I think if you need a SOAP/TCP protocol (SOAP-based or XML Infoset-based) and you want to keep your solution open for interoperability like WCF - WSIT (Java) you need to use a tool like WCF-Xtensions from Noemax.

Oracle has a SOAP/TCP recommendation, but I don't really see a lot of out of the box components, etc which implement it. It is a shame because it is pretty fast and works on both Java and .NET

I am not aware of free components. If you know any please comment on my post. I am working on a WCF - WSIT (Metro) integration project and WS-Http turned out to be very slow.
