# Consumption

**No consumer exists in this repository.** `ClientServiceClient` and `ClientAccessPolicyClient` are `public` (`Reference.svcmap`'s `GenerateInternalTypes` is `false`), so an external consumer of the `SAIF.SAIFCode.Core` package — in which `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies` is packaged — could construct and call them*, but that is not evidence of use. `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies` is documented at [its own overview](../../libraries/saif-services-web-proxies/overview.md).

## Reference style

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Mechanism | Service Reference (svcutil), sourced via WS-MetadataExchange |
| Declared in | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies.csproj` |
| Generated artifacts | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/CallRex/Reference.cs` (≈900 KB), `Reference.svcmap`, `configuration.svcinfo`, `configuration91.svcinfo`, 8 metadata files, 35 `.datasource` files |
| Target framework | .NET Framework 4.6.2 |
| Regeneration command | Visual Studio "Update Service Reference" |

## Construction

No construction exists in this repository.

| Step | Requirement |
| --- | --- |
| Endpoint address | Not applicable — never constructed |
| Binding | Not applicable |
| Credentials | Not applicable |
| Initialization | Not applicable |

## Endpoint configuration

| Setting | Value | Source | Changeable without a rebuild |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Endpoint address | `http://callrexprod:8002/ClientService` / `http://callrexprod:8002/ClientServiceBasic` (configured, unused) | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/app.config:61,66` | Not applicable — no code reads this configuration |
| Binding configuration | `customBinding` / `CustomBinding_IClientService` (binary encoding + NTLM transport auth) | `app.config:34-37` | Not applicable |
| Security mode | NTLM transport authentication (no message security) | `app.config:36` | Not applicable |

## Resilience

| Concern | Finding | Configurable by consumer | Source | Tech debt |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Timeout | None configured on `CustomBinding_IClientService` — framework defaults would apply if used* | No | `app.config:34-37` | Yes |
| Retry | None configured | No | — | No — not applicable, no caller |
| Circuit breaking | None configured | No | — | No |
| Thread safety | Not determined from source | — | — | No |
| Cancellation | Not supported — no code exists to cancel | — | — | No |
| Message size limits | None declared in the WSDL or the configured binding | No | — | No |

Because there is no call site, every resilience row is a latent gap rather than an active one: it would matter only if an external `SAIF.SAIFCode.Core` consumer starts calling the proxy.

## Disposal

| Aspect | Finding |
| --- | --- |
| Disposal performed | None found — no call site exists |
| Faulted channel handled | Not applicable |
| Wrapper responsibility | Not applicable — no wrapper exists |
| Source | Not applicable |

## Error handling for consumers

Not applicable — there is no call site, so there is no consumer-visible error-handling behavior to record.

## Usage examples

No usage example exists in this repository.

## Lifecycle guidance

| Question | Answer |
| --- | --- |
| Construct once or per call | Not applicable |
| Disposable | Yes (`IDisposable` via `ClientBase<T>`), if constructed |
| Safe to share across threads | Not determined from source |
