How to add Custom Service Behavior To WCF Configuration - wcf

Question

I have a service with ComplexType in the Uri Template Parameter, I have Override the CanConvert() and ConvertStringToValue() methods to the class MyQueryStringConverter.
I need to add that behavior to the web.config file.
Here is the Behavior
public class MyWebHttpBehavior : WebHttpBehavior
{
protected override QueryStringConverter GetQueryStringConverter(OperationDescription operationDescription)
{
return new MyQueryStringConverter();
}
}
Here Is the Configuration File :
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttp"
maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000" >
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType = "None"/>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="mexBehaviour">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress>
<defaultPorts>
<add scheme="http" port="80" />
</defaultPorts>
</useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="web">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service name="Service.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="mexBehaviour">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Service.IService1" bindingConfiguration="webHttp" behaviorConfiguration="web"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
Please help how to add that behavior.

Answer 1

First, you must register your behavior, using behaviorExtensions element in your configuration file:
<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add name="MyWebHttpBehavior"
type="FullNameSpace.MyWebHttpBehavior, MyWebHttpBehavior.AssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral" />
</behaviorExtensions>
</extensions>
Where:
"FullNameSpace.MyWebHttpBehavior" is your class with full namespace,
"MyWebHttpBehavior.AssemblyName" is your assembly name with extension
where your class is compiled.
"1.0.0.0" is the version of your assembly
"neutral" is your Culture. Change if any special Culture is required
Secound, declare your behavior:
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="customMyWebHttpBehavior">
<webHttp/>
<MyWebHttpBehavior/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<behaviors>
Next, add to the binding:
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttp"
maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000" >
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType = "None"/>
</security>
</binding>
<MyWebHttpBehavior />
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
And finally, set the behavior to your service endpoint:
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Service.IService1" bindingConfiguration="webHttp" behaviorConfiguration="customMyWebHttpBehavior"/>
I've copied this configuration of a service I've developed and changed the names to fit your class/configuration, but check if I did not wrote anything wrong.
I've used this link as base to setup my configuration: Custom Behavior won't register in my web.config
Hope it helps.
