I am trying to host a Wcf Service on the IIS, but am unable to do so. I have the service inside a website in IIS added as an application and am also able to get the wsdl for the service. But when trying to hit the service through the WcfTestClient, I get the following error -
Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible; the client-side configuration does not match the proxy; the existing proxy is invalid. Refer to the stack trace for more detail. You can try to recover by starting a new proxy, restoring to default configuration, or refreshing the service.
I have gone through the steps to host a wcf service on the IIS. Not sure what I am missing or doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
It seems there is error in WCF.
Try putting
try and catch
or
make a empty method to return Hello World

I am getting the below error while trying to call an external service from my service which was hosted in IIS .
Error : An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to ''. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.
And I am not getting any error while trying to call the same external service from a console application.
Any suggestions will help. Thanks in advance.
Issue is with the firewall. When i try to call the external service from console application, the service call going through without any errors, as there was no IIS involved in calling the service. But when i call the external service from another service hosted in IIS, firewall comes to the picture.
I am trying to implement the same functionalities of one WCF web service (which is working of course) to another WCF web service, but I encounter an exception: {"An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail."}
and {"The message could not be processed because the action 'http://tempuri.org/IBlueWebService/GetDataSourceList' is invalid or unrecognized."}
I copied exactly same codes and same configuration and I use my client tool to call the new web service (I only changed the web service url to the new one), but it throws the exception.
Some forums told me to set the establishSecurityContext but it doesn't work also.
Please can somebody tell me what I am missing?
Solution
I tried to compare the wsdl files and I remarked that the new wcf web service had different action url from the old one, but I tried to use the same config file in client application (which is obviously looking for old wcf web service action url).
So in every operationcontract of new web service, I specified the action url and replyaction url for every operation and it works for me now.
I have one worflow service named GetDataWorkflowService.xamlx that I want to use in Silverlight.
When I add a service reference to my application, it gives a message 'This Operation is not supported for the relative URI.' It still adds the reference, however.
When I use the referece:
Servicelient proxy=new ServiceClient();
proxy.GetDataCompleted += (o, a) => Debug.WriteLine("Result is " + a.Result);
proxy.GetDataAsync(123);
I get the following error:
An error occurred while trying to make a request to URI 'http://localhost:1234/GetDataWorkflowService.xamlx'. This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place, or a policy that is unsuitable for SOAP services. You may need to contact the owner of the service to publish a cross-domain policy file and to ensure it allows SOAP-related HTTP headers to be sent. This error may also be caused by using internal types in the web service proxy without using the InternalsVisibleToAttribute attribute. Please see the inner exception for more details.
I don't understand what's happening.
A few things:
What happens if you use the WCF Test Client to call GetData()? Do you get an error or does that work just fine. If you get an error here concentrate on the server parts.
What happens if you set a service reference from a console application and call your workflow service. Same error or does that work?
Is the workflow service hosted in the same web site as the Silverlight client? If not do you have the cross domain policy files setup correctly.
Assuming the WCF Test Client works. Open up fiddler and compare the request from your Silverlight client with that from the WCF Test Client. What is different?
Enable tracing on the server to see if there are any exceptions or warnings that might provide more insight to what is wrong.
Check your startup project to be sure you are starting a web project and not the Silverlight project. For more details see Troubleshooting Workflow Services / Silverlight on my blog
I created one wcf service lets called as "myService.svc". From my service I am calling client service lets say "clientService.svc". This client service return data to my wcf service.
Today I start getting exception like "There was no endpoint listening at http://clientService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details...."
So where is this problem probably present inside client service or my service as both service are up so I am not able to figure ut out?
Please help me out.
you web.config has the wrong URL for the client service. Change it to "http://localhost/clientservice.svc".
Check your endpoint configuration... http://clientService.svc is an invalid uri.
Did you try accesing the WSDL via browser?
It seems like the url is wrong maybe in the client, i think it should be something like http://nameofthehost/clientService.svc
to access the wsdl you should add ".wsdl" at the end of the url
How are you running those services? If you are using asp.net development server, its possible, that you got your services running at different ports today. Your inner service's proxy is configured at some address which isn't valid any more. Check the setting and try refreshing the service (right clicking at solution explorer) and possibly change the address or generate proxy again.
I am working on an application where i am using a wcf service. I am currently hosting my service on localhost and accessing it from there only by adding the service reference in my project. On one of my page i am sending request on change of selected index on dropdown list. It works fine for first few requests but suddenly stops after that giving following excsption
"Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible; the client-side configuration does not match the proxy; the existing proxy is invalid. Refer to the stack trace for more detail. You can try to recover by starting a new proxy, restoring to default configuration, or refreshing the service."
How can service stop without any reason and that too from my localhost. It only works for first 3-4 requests. In service i am just sending a integer and getting back the records on its basis using a class in a generic list.
Thanks in advance
What protocol / bindings are you using? Can you show us the config? Anything inside the <system.serviceModel> on both the server and the client side.
Do you maybe create a client proxy and call the service method and not properly close and dispose of the client proxy? In that case, you might run out of connections at some point - but that's next to impossible to tell without some code to see what you're doing. Can you show us the service contract in question, and the code how you call it from the client side?
