WCF unable to find netTcpBinding - wcf

Question

I am trying to create a WCF service that is accessible through both webHttpBinding and netTcpBinding. I have been successful in getting the webHttpBinding to be accessible through a Java client and now I'm working on trying to get the netTcpBinding working.
I have set up the configuration like this;
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="httpBehavior">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service name="MR_Jukebox_Service.JukeboxService">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service/"/>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8523/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service/net/"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address=""
behaviorConfiguration="httpBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="MR_Jukebox_Service.IJukeboxService" />
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="MR_Jukebox_Service.IJukeboxService" />
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:8523/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service/net"
binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration=""
contract="MR_Jukebox_Service.IJukeboxService" />
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
In the same solution, I have a test application that I wish to connect to the netTcpBinding, I've right clicked on "Service References" and chosen "Add Service Reference...".
When I click on "Discover" it finds the service although says;
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service'.
There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
But I am also unable to see the netTcpBinding in order for me to create a service reference to it.
I was wondering whether anyone can see what I am doing wrong as its probably something rather simple, but due to my lack of experience with WCF haven't noticed.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer 1

Try changing your mex endpoint to this:
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
You were using your service's contract for the mex endpoint, which I don't believe will work.
You can set up a similar one for the NetTcpBinding:
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:8523/Design_Time_Addresses/MR_Jukebox_Service/net/mex"
binding="mexTcpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />

I have been successful in getting the webHttpBinding to be accessible through a Java client and now I'm working on trying to get the netTcpBinding working.
Are you trying to get the netTcpBinding to work with a java client ? Because, netTcpBinding only works with a .net client.
NetTcpBinding is not designed for interop, it's designed for performance when both the server and client are .net
