WsdScanService

Project Overview

This project is a .NET-based implementation of a WSD (Web Services for Devices) Scan Service. It allows clients to discover and interact with scanners over the network using the WSD protocol. The solution is divided into several projects:

• WsdScanService.Host: The main application that hosts the WCF services and manages the scanner devices.
• WsdScanService.Scanner: Implements the core WSD Scan protocol using CoreWCF.
• WsdScanService.Contracts: Contains the data contracts and service interfaces for the WSD Scan protocol.
• WsdScanService.Discovery: Implements the WS-Discovery protocol for device discovery.
• WsdScanService.Common: Contains common utilities and extension methods used across the solution.

The application is designed to be run as a containerized service using Docker.

Building and Running

The project can be built and run using the .NET SDK and Docker.

Building the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, run the following command from the root of the project:

docker build -t wsdscanservice .

Running the Service

The service can be run using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up

The service will be available at the IP address and port specified in the appsettings.json file.

Development

To run the project in a development environment, you can use the .NET SDK:

dotnet run --project WsdScanService.Host/WsdScanService.Host.csproj

Development Conventions

• Dependency Injection: The project uses the built-in dependency injection container in .NET. Services are registered in the Program.cs file and in extension methods in each project.
• Configuration: The application is configured using appsettings.json files and environment variables.
• Logging: The project uses the standard .NET logging framework.
• WCF: The project uses CoreWCF for implementing the WSD Scan protocol.
• WS-Discovery: The project implements the WS-Discovery protocol for device discovery.
