Hallo Again my question is sample, but I can not find way to accomplish this task. As you all know when service is hosted in IIS it has its default page when one navigates to the .svc file. I want to be able to change layout of this page to implement custom design for it.
Is it possible to achieve it at all? or does any of u have any experience relating this implementation?
If I understood you correctly then all you need is explained here

If you enter a service endpoint in a browser you get a Microsoft generated page with a link to the wsdl and some sample C# and VB code for creating an instance of the service client. If you enter the wsdl link in a browser you get the wsdl. This all assumes no strange security restrictions of course.
Is there a way to have a service return a page of your own design? If I wanted to have a nice help screen describing the available service methods, or describing possible error messages for example. Either replacing the MS generated default page, or something that can be viewed like a wsdl but with a ?help query parameter for example.
I'm looking for really simple here with minimal changes to the existing services. If possible something that can be done by content creators or technical writers and not the service developers.
I'm not sure if you can override the default help page, but you can definitely serve up a help page. This article on WCF Custom Help Page explains how.
We have developed a SOA product which uses WCF and WIF with a custom Security Token Service servicing clients written using MVVM and WPF and even a Sharepoint integrated Silverlight solution.
A requirement has now been raised by one of our customers to produce a HTML5 web front end so they can access these resources via an iPad hosted web application.
This is obviously new territory for us and raises several questions we are struggling to answer via the web.
How much of WCF/WIF is supported by HTML5's Websockets? e.g. IssuedTokenWSTrustBinding & WS2007FederationHttpBinding.
Do we need to rewrite huge swathes of our MVVM code, or it is possible to bind HTML5 to a C# ViewModel?
Any insight into any of these questions would be greatly appreciated!
Websockets are just... Websockets they don't do anything fancy beside data transport. So it will not handle anything as IssuedTokenWSTrustBinding or WS2007FederationHttpBinding.
Normally a mobile application should differ from a full desktop browser application, there are things which must be taken into consideration such as: navigation, image sizes, amount of data used in the traffic. Every thing has to be kept at lowest rate as possible. If you don't mind ignoring all the above, then the answer is yes, you can add the required HTML5 functionality into your Views/ViewMOdels.
I know there are a lot of other question about this topic but I haven't found the right solution for my case.
The landscape is like that:
Backend runs on a tomcat and provides some services. Amongst others there is UserService.login().
The Frontend (JSF 2.0, Spring 3, OpenFaces or Primefaces) which i should implement runs on a different tomcat. I need to implement the security level in the frontend. For sure I'm searching for the best framework (seam, spring security, jaas). And if you know a good tutorial it would be great if you let me know. i can send username/password to the backend and receive a User with id, username and role.
I found lots of tutorials, but i didn't get it work properly. Can anyone help me?
I probably can't explain the whole thing. But you can follow these links and should get you want you need.
First setup basic JSF-Spring Security application like in this link . Here the author did hard code the user details in the applicationContext itself for simplicity. But for your requirement you need to implement a custom UserDetailsService and which is the authentication provider where it loads the user details from the backend. You can take a look at this link.
I have a WCF REST service. Now the question is how can I secure my REST service so no one can use/call it? and what would be the best way to call it (e.g. using jquery, or from code behind)? the client application is on MVC 3.
please help and advise
Many Thanks
Not sure if you're still looking for a solution. But I used WCFRESTContrib as a basis for my project for the security features, among other things. It's very easy to setup Basic Authentication on the entire service, or on an individual basis for each service method. They have a full description on it here. If you don't decide to use the project, it should at least give you a good understanding on how it works with WCF REST api's.
How do you make an iTunes podcast feed with WCF? Or do you know of a complete example that actually works?
I've reached the point where I corrected all errors and warnings[1] marked by feedvalidator.org and also included all the iTunes custom tags I could and iTunes still claims it's a broken feed (obviously giving no useful information about it).
[1] I haven't solved two warnings: one is that the address of the podcast is not consistent, because I'm running it on localhost, and the other that I am using namespaces for the atom embedded tags when producing an RSS, for which there's no work around using WCF.
Looks like this user was able to get it working: How do you add another namespace to WCF SyndicationFeed?
Hope that helps.
I believe WCF is a communications framework that uses SOAP, and is meant for something more like Web Services, rather than hosting an XML file. Even if it is possible, WCF is probably not the right way to do what you're trying to do.
