WCF service hosted on IIS not running
I want to create a service that provides basicHTTP endpoint and webHTTP endpoint. If I test the following project with VS2010 in live mode, everything is fine; but I want to host the service in IIS (locally or remotely) and pass the tests.
Service.svc:
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ContactLibrary.ContactLibraryService"%>
I am hosting my website in local IIS. When I try: http: //localhost/ContactLibrary2.0/Service.svc I get:
The type 'ContactLibrary.ContactLibraryService' supplied as the value for the Service attribute in the ServiceHost directive or supplied in the system.serviceModel / serviceHostingEnvironment / serviceActivations configuration element was not found.
The web.config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="ContactLibraryNamespace.ContactLibraryService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
name="soap" contract="ContactLibraryNamespace.IContact" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
name="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<endpoint address="rest" behaviorConfiguration="web" binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="" name="rest" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost/ContactLibrary2.0" />

IContact looks like this:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IContact
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "GetContact/{idContact}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
Contact GetContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "AddContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string AddContact(Contact contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "EditContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped)]
string EditContact(string idContact, Contact Contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "DeleteContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string DeleteContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "GetAllContacts/{start}/{end}", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
List<Contact> GetAllContacts(string start, string end);
}

In your svc file, you need to link the code as shown below:
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ContactLibraryNamespace.ContactLibrarySOAPService" CodeBehind="ContactLibrarySOAPService.svc.cs" %>
You don't need to have separate classes to use BasicHttpBinding and webHttpBinding.
Just change your IContact interface to below:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IContact
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method="GET", UriTemplate = "GetContact/{idContact}", ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json)]
Contact GetContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "AddContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string AddContact(Contact contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "EditContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped)]
string EditContact(string idContact, Contact Contact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "DeleteContact", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string DeleteContact(string idContact);
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "GetAllContacts/{start}/{end}", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
List<Contact> GetAllContacts(string start, string end);
}
Then change your service item in your config to:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="ContactLibraryNamespace.ContactLibrarySOAPService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
contract="ContactLibraryNamespace.IContact" />
<endpoint address="rest" behaviorConfiguration="web" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="ContactLibraryNamespace.IContact" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost/ContactLibrary2.0" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="web">
<webHttp />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
<behavior name="json">
<enableWebScript />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- 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>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
This will provide access to your IContact interface via SOAP and REST.
The only change will have the REST endpoint url, which will be http://localhost/virtualDirectoryname/ContactLibrarySOAPService.svc/rest/resourcename
NOTE. Change the name of the class that implements IContact to make it generic and not have the word SOAP or REST to avoid confusion.
