I'm trying to publish a wcf service using nettcpbinding. I want to publish metadata, using ?wsdl.
I added the following line to the config file:
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
but I can't see the wsdl in my browser. what did I do wrong?
Thanks.
Edit: Here is the relevant part of my config file:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="wcfcheck.service1" behaviorConfiguration="wcfcheck.Service1Behavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="wcfcheck.Iservice1"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="wcfcheck.Service1Behavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpGetUrl=""/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
I might not be accessing the right URL. I tried both http://localhost:51159/Service1.svc?wsdl and http://localhost:51159/Service1.svc/mex?wsdl, and without the '?wsdl'.
You need to use the <serviceMetadata> element.
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="metadataSupport">
<!-- Enables the IMetadataExchange endpoint in services that -->
<!-- use "metadataSupport" in their behaviorConfiguration attribute. -->
<!-- In addition, the httpGetEnabled and httpGetUrl attributes publish -->
<!-- Service metadata for retrieval by HTTP/GET at the address -->
<!-- "http://localhost:8080/SampleService?wsdl" -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpGetUrl=""/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
You need to publish service metadata via http for wsdl. Add the following tag to the <system.serviceModel> tag of your config file
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name = "MetadataBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled = "true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
You will also need to specify an http address where the service metadata in wsdl will be available from. Add this to the <service> node of your config file :
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8001" />
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8000/Service1" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
Then if you go to http://localhost:8000/Service1?wsdl, you should see the wsdl for your service.
You can try mexTcp binding and make sure your base address starts with net.tcp://.....

</system.serviceModel>
but still i am getting the following error::
Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata.
your service name IService1 - this looks like it might in fact be
the contract. If you are using the normal templates then remove the
I from IService1
If you are IIS hosting you can remove the address as the location of the .svc file is automatically the address.
The contract needs to be fully qualified including the namespace of the contract interface
with this in place your metadata should be served from <.svc file location>?wsdl
I'm trying to create a WCF service, but the metadata doesn't appear, i try:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service
name ="MyNamespace.IMyContract"
behaviorConfiguration="mex">
<endpoint
address = ""
binding = "wsHttpBinding"
contract = "MyNamespace.IMyContract"
/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="mex">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
I try to access with http://MyServer/receptor.svc but shows that Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled. and http://MyServer/mex shows 404, why? What am i doing wrong?
OBS1: i publish my service in IIS7.5 on Windows 7.
OBS2: if i remove behaviorConfiguration="mex" the metadata works, but with basicHttpBinding not with wsHttpBinding.
I forget to put:
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
I wrote a simple webget service , added this code at web.config..
Then in order to access it i had to type this http://127.0.0.1/service1.svc/data?value=4
I searched all the config files but couldnt find how to get rid of service1.svc part..
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="webby">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyServiceTypeBehaviors" >

<service name="WCFServiceWebRole1.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="MyServiceTypeBehaviors">

If you're on Azure, you'll most likely be hosting on IIS.
This article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/hosting-a-wcf-rest-service-on-iis.aspx explains nicely how to use ASP.NET routing to re-route requests for Service1.svc to your service.
what is the "behaviorConfiguration" attribute of service?
<services>
<service name="WcfServiceNetMSMQ.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WcfServiceNetMSMQ.Service1Behavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8010/WcfServiceNetMSMQ/Service1/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address ="net.msmq://localhost/private/myqueue" binding="netMsmqBinding" contract="WcfServiceNetMSMQ.IService1">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
There are 3 important sections when you configure a WCF service.
1) Defining the Services:
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="SOAPRESTDemoBehavior" name="SOAPRESTDemo">
<endpoint address="rest" behaviorConfiguration="SOAPRESTDemoEndpointBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="ISOAPRESTDemo" />
<endpoint address="soap" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ISOAPRESTDemo" />
</service>
</services>
NOTE the value of behaviorConfiguration is a reference to a section further on in the config see below...
2) Defining the 'Service Behaviours'
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="SOAPRESTDemoBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
3) Defining the 'Endpoint Behaviours'
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="SOAPRESTDemoEndpointBehavior">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
All 3 sections are the basics for what you need to set up a service (although this can be done programatically).
With regard to your question the behaviorConfiguration section relates to point 2 and 3 in my points above. Its where you lay out the sort of actions you want your service to have. for example above I have said that I want to allow MetaData to be published. This will essentially create a WSDL which describes the service.
The full config is here:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<!--Set up the service-->
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="SOAPRESTDemoBehavior" name="SOAPRESTDemo">
<endpoint address="rest" behaviorConfiguration="SOAPRESTDemoEndpointBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="ISOAPRESTDemo" />
<endpoint address="soap" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ISOAPRESTDemo" />
</service>
</services>
<!--Define the behaviours-->
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="SOAPRESTDemoBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="SOAPRESTDemoEndpointBehavior">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
It is a reference to another configuration section:
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WcfServiceNetMSMQ.Service1Behavior">
</behaviors>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Where this section contains some global configuration for the whole service.
here's an example of it, it carries some properties of the connection of the service.
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WcfServiceNetMSMQ.Service1Behavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
Notice that the name in this service behavior corresponds to the one you specified earlier.
Hope that helps.
You will get this error with Behavior name is not setup correctly.
The HTML document does not contain Web service discovery information.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://blabla.com/WebService/Processor.svc'.
Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service 'http://blabla.com/WebService/Processor.svc'. The client and service bindings may be mismatched.
The remote server returned an error: (415) Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8' was not the expected type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'..
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
I host simple WCF service in IIS in web application.
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="SimpleServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="SimpleServiceBehavior" name="SimpleService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ISimpleService" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
When I run service hosted on http://projects.mydomain.com/application/SimpleService.svc it shows default service page with link to WSDL:
svcutil.exe http://terminal.mydomain.local/application/SimpleService.svc?wsdl and so on
Clients can create service reference but fail to execute methods because cannot resolve host name terminal.mydomain.local
The question is why server name is its local name 'terminal.mydomain.local' instead of 'projects.mydomain.com' ?
I found answer: http://forums.asp.net/p/1096811/1659596.aspx
I needed to change host headers.
