Workflow Foundation Part III: Participating in persistence

<p>This is the third post about the Workflow Foundation 4. The first two posts can be found <a href="http://www.infinitec.de/post/2009/10/19/Persistence-in-Workflow-Foundation-4.aspx">here</a> and <a href="http://www.infinitec.de/post/2009/10/20/Workflow-Foundation-4-e28093-Part-II-NativeActivities-and-Extensions.aspx">here</a>.</p> <p>In the second article I introduced the IncrementExtension which asynchronously increments an integer value and waits one second each time it is called. The activity used bookmarks to stop and resume the workflow while it is running. The problem is this: When the application is forcefully stopped and restarted, the index will start again at zero. This is a shame, since the workflow instance is already persisted to the database between each call.</p> <p>Enter <strong>PersistenceParticipant</strong>. This is a base class for extension that which to persist data to the instance store configured for a workflow application. The <strong>PersistenceParticipant</strong> class has three virtual methods that enable the persistence functionality. Here is the IncrementExtension from the last post extended with the persistence features:</p> <div id="codeSnippetWrapper"> <div style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px" id="codeSnippet"> <pre style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px"><span style="color: #606060" id="lnum1"> 1:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">using</span> System;</pre>

<p>To save data to the instance store, a unique id for the the data, represented by an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.xml.linq.xname.aspx">XName</a> instance. This can be created using the XNamespace class (see line 13). With this unique id, the data of the extension instance can be persisted to the instance store. To save the data the extension needs to override the <strong>CollectValues</strong> method and add the properties to be persisted to the <strong>readWriteValues</strong> (lines 50 to 56). The runtime uses the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer.aspx">DataContractSerializer</a> to serialize the data. Since .NET 3.5 practically every class that has the SerializableAttribute on its class and/or implements the ISerializable interface can be serialized. At minimum, this method should serialize the bookmark. This is required to continue the workflow when it’s restarted.</p>
<p>When the workflow is restarted the runtime calls the <strong>PublishValues</strong> method on the extension to load the instance data from the store (line 59-66). This method also should check whether to resume any bookmarks to continue the workflow.</p>
<p>That’s all. </p>

Workflow Foundation 4 – Part II: NativeActivities and Extensions

<p>This is the second post about Workflow Foundation 4, Beta 2. This time, it’s about native activities and custom extensions. The sample used here is the same as in my last post (<a href="http://www.infinitec.de/post/2009/10/19/Persistence-in-Workflow-Foundation-4.aspx">Persistence in Workflow Foundation 4</a>). In that post, I used a simple workflow which incremented a integer value by one each time it was executed. To make things more interesting, the custom activity does this in an asynchronous manner. </p> <p>The activity is a rather simple one, since it uses an extension to do the actual work:</p> <div id="codeSnippetWrapper"> <div style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px" id="codeSnippet"> <pre style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px"><span style="color: #606060" id="lnum1"> 1:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">using</span> System.Activities;</pre>

<p>The action has an out argument, the Result property. The value written to this argument is incremented by one each time the activity is called. The key to enable automatic workflow persistence are bookmarks. A short summary about bookmarks can be found in plenty of blogs (for example <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/bursteg/archive/2009/05/19/wf-4-0-long-running-custom-activities-with-bookmarks-and-nativeactivity.aspx">here</a>). But most of them are wrong with their examples: The syntax has changed quite a bit when it comes to how to create bookmarks. When an activity calls the <strong>CreateBookmark</strong> method, the runtime automatically stops the workflow instance at that point and persists it to the instance store, if configured. The bookmark takes a name and a callback. The workflow instance is resumed, when the callback is called. In this example, the callback function sets the ‘Result’ argument to the value it receives from the extension. </p>
<p>Note that the activity needs to return true in the <strong>CanInduceIdle</strong> property. Otherwise, a call to <strong>CreateBookmark</strong> method will throw an exception.</p>
<p>Once the bookmark has been created, it is handed over to the <strong>IncrementExtension</strong>.</p>
<p>The IncrementExtension has one method that actually does something: The Increment method. It takes a Bookmark instance as input and resumes it after waiting for 1 second on a different thread:</p>

<p>To resume the workflow instance, the extension needs to know which instance it should resume. By default, it does not have this info. It only has an instance of a Bookmark. To get the workflow instance associated with an instance of an extension instance, the extension needs to implement the <strong>IWorkflowInstanceExtension</strong>. This method is called during the initialization of the extension instance.</p>
<p>Given the instance and the bookmark, the extension can now call the <strong>BeginResumeBookmark</strong> method on the workflow instance.</p>
<p>One question remains: Where does the extension instance come from? Simple, it is provided during the initialization of the workflow:</p>

Persistence in Workflow Foundation 4 Beta 2
2009-10-19T18:55:48+00:00
hkrause
<p>The Workflow Foundation has changed dramatically since .NET 3.5… and many changes have been made even since Beta one. One of the big changes is related to persistence. In earlier versions, either an SqlWorkflowPersistenceService or the and SQLPersistenceProviderFactory was used. Things have become much easier, though, with the release of the second beta of Visual Studio 2010. A workflow can now easily be persisted with a few lines of code. For this sample, I have created a simple workflow which just counts from zero upwards. Since persistence is primarily useful for long-running workflows, I have come up with this example:</p> <p><a href="http://www.infinitec.de/image.axd?picture=WindowsLiveWriter/PersistenceinWorkflowFoundation4/02BA6B0F/image.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.infinitec.de/image.axd?picture=WindowsLiveWriter/PersistenceinWorkflowFoundation4/42181E9F/image_thumb.png" width="516" height="520" /></a> </p> <p>Obviously, this workflow runs very long… espacially, since the custom IncrementActivity waits one second before incrementing the variable ‘Index’.</p> <p>To execute the workflow, only a few lines of code are required:</p> <div id="codeSnippetWrapper"> <div style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px" id="codeSnippet"> <pre style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px"><span style="color: #606060" id="lnum1"> 1:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">class</span> Program</pre>

<p>Sure, there are simpler ways to execute a workflow but AFAIK only this method support persistence using the SqlWorkflowInstanceStore.</p>
<p>To reload the workflow from the database one line needs to be added to the code (in line 12, just before the app.Run() call):</p>
<div id="codeSnippetWrapper">
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px" id="codeSnippet">
<pre style="border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px"><span style="color: #606060" id="lnum1"> 1:</span> app.Load(<span style="color: #0000ff">new</span> Guid(<span style="color: #006080">"1E1A5265-A135-4D42-9D64-2ECCCF22E888"</span>));</pre>
<!--CRLF--></div>
</div>
<p>Of course, the id needs to be replaced with the instance id of the workflow. Once the workflow is running, the instance id can be retrieved from the app.Id property (as shown in line 15).</p>
<p>That’s all.</p>
<p>To persist workflows to a database, the necessary tables and stored procedures must be created in a database. This can easily be accomplished with two files from the .NET 4 runtime directory under %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006\SQL\en. The SQL statements from the two files SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreSchema.sql and SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreLogic.sql have to be executed against the target database.</p>
