How to publish WSDL for WCF 4.0 service with REST/SOAP endpoints - wcf

Question

I'm creating a WCF4 service with REST and SOAP endpoints to be hosted in IIS 7.5.
I have used the WCF4 REST template as an example.
However I have a few questions regarding my setup so far.
Here's my webconfig
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="REST">
<webHttp helpEnabled="true"/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MEXGET">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="MEXGET" name="Project.WebService.VehicleService">
<endpoint
address=""
behaviorConfiguration="REST"
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="Project.WebService.IVehicleService" />
<endpoint
address="soap"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="Project.WebService.IVehicleService" />
<endpoint
address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
I have removed the standardEndpoints section and added endpoints of my own.
There are no .svc files as I've set the routes in the global.asax as shown below
private void RegisterRoutes()
{
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("VehicleService", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(VehicleService)));
}
The help pages can be accessed via http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService/help
I've also used the WCF Test Client to access http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService/mex
which shows the metadata for the SOAP endpoint
But how do I retrieve the WSDL of the service?
With an svc file I can find the wsdl at http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService.svc?wsdl However I do not have a .svc file.
And neither can I find the WSDL at http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService?wsdl or http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService/soap?wsdl
Do I need to add a .svc file if I want to publish WSDL for the SOAP endpoint?

Answer 1

I have managed to get the WSDL working at http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService?wsdl.
The solution was using new ServiceHostFactory instead of new WebServiceHostFactory in the global.asax.
With WebServiceHostFactory you lose the WSDL functionality.

Answer 2

You should be able to get the WSDL by using the mex URL directly from the browser:
http://localhost:1313/ServiceTest/VehicleService/mex
The WcfTestClient is almost certainly doing that to retrieve the WSDL so it can generate the proxy to the service.
