Communication to the service is done through an Ethernet connection, and the service connection is configured using Microsoft Visual Studio.
About the contract
The Simple Host service uses .NET WCF to offer SOAP based access to the Patroller database. A contract is defined to identify the data access available to client applications.
Example:
[ServiceContract(Name="SimpleHost", Namespace="http://autovu.com")]
public interface ISimpleHostContract
{
[OperationContract]
string GetLatestXGuidAndPlateNumber(int lastX);
[OperationContract]
string GetHitData(Guid hitGuid);
[OperationContract]
void AddNewWanted(string plateNumber, string plateState,
int expirationDuration);
[OperationContract]
List <Guid> GetReadIds(DateTime from, DateTime to);
[OperationContract]
string GetReadData(Guid readGuid);
[OperationContract]
void RaiseHit(Guid readGuid, string hitPlateNumber,
string hitPlateState,
string category, HitColorEnum hitColor,
string attributeKeyValuePairs);
}
