Is IIS a requirement in order to use AppFabric Server functionality for WCF Services?

I'm about to build a set of WCF Services. Previously I have written service-library DLL's and self hosted. However this new environment requires services to be deployed to AppFabric. It's my experience with AppFabric that it requires a .svc file, which must be hosted in IIS.

If I want to use AppFabric for my WCF services (Cacheing, Monitoring, Relay etc.) do I HAVE to use IIS? Or are there other options available to me? If so, 开发者_如何学JAVAwhat are those available options?

As far i know, all App Fabric requires is service to be hosted on WAS. By not having IIS you wont be able to use the IIS UI but i guess there would be command line options for this.

please have a look into :App Fabric FAQ
