In my previous blog, I provided a manual solution to the slow startup problem of Spring.Net dynamic proxy Web Service client. And I promised that I'll continue my venture to provide a better solution for applications with a few dozens of Web Service clients.
In this blog, I'm going to show how to use CodeDom to generate the very same source code that I have posted in the manual solution.
The WebServiceClientGenerator is the class that will generate the source code of a full functional Web Service client that implements a domain interface. So that the class can be used to directly replace the WebServiceProxyFactory in the application context.
With the help of the generator class, the same MyTestClient.cs can be generate by the code below:
new WebServiceClientGenerator(
"Example.Client", "MyTestClient",
typeof(IMyTest), "http://tempuri.org/"
).Generate("..\\..");
The next step is some how to integrate this to the VS 2005 or NAnt build process. I need some idea...
Here is the generator source code. You can find the CodeUtil class in this blog.
