Hi,

My company just bought idealblade, right now I'm trying to understand the EntityServer.  Let me explain my purpose, before here we were using WCF service all the time for our WPF application.

Most of the time the architecture was like that :

Data Layer --> Business Layer --> Service Layer (WCF) -->  CLIENT

So that mean I have a server that contains all my entities and expose a WCF service.  The client doesn't have the need to have the entities model on his side.

Now I want to do the same with the EntityServer, I mean having the entityserver with contain the entity model and the client connect to this server.

I read the documentation of the EntityServer and I took a look of the template idealblade provide for the n-tier architecture.  I found nothing like an example that illustrate what I wanna do.

Please needs some help here.

Regards

Hi hartdrooz,
 
DevForce is designed to support an application with the layers as you described (as shown in the http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/architecture - DevForce Resource Center ).
 
I'm not sure what you meant by not needing to have the entitymodel on the client side. Perhaps you are looking into working with OData services? ( http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/odata - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/odata )
 
Regards,
   Silvio.
