I am trying to get my svc file working under IIS. In my project, when I press F5 I got the svc working. So I know everything is okay, right? Except for IIS.
I am working on a Windows XP Pro machine and in IIS I've added a virtual directory.
Here's my code: IcarePlanActions (project: A)
namespace WcfServiceLibrary
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICarePlanActions
{
[OperationContract]
List<string> GetAllClients();
}
}
Client: (project: A)
namespace WcfServiceLibrary
{
public class Client : ICarePlanActions
{
public List<string> GetAllClients()
{
List<string> clients = new List<string>();
clients.Add("Hendrik de Jong");
clients.Add("Miep de Berg");
clients.Add("Jaap Jongeneel");
clients.Add("Joop Prakman");
clients.Add("Pieter Schaakman");
return clients;
}
}
}
Web.config (project: B)
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="CarePlanService.Service1Behavior"
name="WcfServiceLibrary.Client">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfServiceLibrary.ICarePlanActions">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="CarePlanService.Service1Behavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
CarePlan.svc
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="WcfServiceLibrary.Client" %>
When I run this service (which is on IIS) with wfctestclient I get this error
Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://localhost/CarePlanService/CarePlan.svc If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the specified address.
What am I doing wrong?
SOLUTION
I didn't get the service working under IIS. First I manually create a virtual directory and pointed to the directiry where the svc is located. This didn't work. I don't know why.
Then I went to Visual Studio and changed the server setting (Right mouse on the project, properties, tab Web, click Use local IIS Web Server
and click Create Virtual Directory
. When I did this, it worked under IIS with the code above.
