Windows Process Activation Services (WAS) Reference Resources

WAS is a new process activation model for IIS7.  It enables you to host any WCF service using other non-HTTP protocols using IIS's robust and reliable model.

This diagram from MSDN helps to shows the different components and their boundaries:

• MSDN Magazine article Sep 2007 Extend your WCF services beyong HTTP
• How to host a WCF Service in WAS (.NET4)
• Building a WCF Workflow service and hosting in AppFabric
• Is there a difference between WAS and AppFabric? They appear to be used interchangeably. (Yes, AppFabric extends WAS, IIS hosts, AppFabric provides superior management and monitoring) - StackOverflow.
