We have a requirement to log requests without replies (in case of timeout). We are using implementation of IClientMessageInspector to do this. Unfortunately there is second case in which AfterReceiveReply is not invoked - when the service method is void (does not return anything). Is there any way to recognize void method in BeforeSendRequest method?
There's no pretty way to do so but I have found an ugly one :)
/// <summary>
/// Checks internal operation formatter for action reply attribute which is empty for one way methods.
/// Based on above returns whether service method will have reply or not.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="request">Request message.</param>
/// <returns>Whether service method will have reply.</returns>
private bool WillRequestHaveReply(Message request)
{
FieldInfo operationFormatterField =
request.GetType()
.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic)
.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "operationFormatter");
if (operationFormatterField != null)
{
object operationFormatter = operationFormatterField.GetValue(request);
if (operationFormatter != null)
{
PropertyInfo actionReplyProperty =
operationFormatter.GetType()
.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic)
.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "ReplyAction");
if (actionReplyProperty != null)
{
return actionReplyProperty.GetValue(operationFormatter) != null;
}
}
}
// Every request should have operationFormatter inside.
// Use standard behaviour (requests with replies) if it doesn't.
return true;
}
