How to auto-start WCF service without AppFabric

问题:

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup a WCF service running on IIS 7.5 so it would start automatically (and not waiting for the first request to come in), without the installation of AppFabric?

回答1:

You can achieve this by using the module IIS 8.0 Application Initialization, which is compatible with IIS 7.5:

IIS 8.0 Application Initialization

Here's the download link for IIS 7.5: Application Initialization Module for IIS 7.5

An alternative would be to write a small app which calls your service, you could then schedule that to run regularly or when your app pool is recycled.
