I want to build a service that exposes a basicHTTP endpoint and a webHTTP Endpoint. If i test the following project with VS2010 in running mode everything is fine; but i want to host the service in IIS (local or remotely) and the tests to pass.
Service.svc:
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ContactLibrary.ContactLibraryService"%>
I host my web site into local IIS. When i try : http://localhost/ContactLibrary2.0/Service.svc i get :
The type 'ContactLibrary.ContactLibraryService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could not be found.
Web.config looks like :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="ContactLibraryNamespace.ContactLibraryService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
name="soap" contract="ContactLibraryNamespace.IContact" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
name="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<endpoint address="rest" behaviorConfiguration="web" binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="" name="rest" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost/ContactLibrary2.0" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="web">
<webHttp />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
IContact looks like :
[ServiceContract]
public interface IContact
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "GetContact/{idContact}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
Contact GetContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "AddContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string AddContact(Contact contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "EditContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped)]
string EditContact(string idContact, Contact Contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "DeleteContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string DeleteContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "GetAllContacts/{start}/{end}", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
List<Contact> GetAllContacts(string start, string end);
}
Best Answer
In your svc file you need to associate the code behind as well as shown below:
You dont need to have seperate classes for using BasicHttpBinding and webHttpBinding.
Just change your IContact interface to the below:
Then change your service element in your config to :
Doing so would expose your interface IContact accessible via SOAP and REST.
The only change would be to the REST endpoint url which would be
http://localhost/virtualDirectoryname/ContactLibrarySOAPService.svc/rest/resourcename
NOTE: Change the name of the class that implements IContact so as to make it generic rather than having the word SOAP or REST to avoid confusion.
