I am writing a simple WCF Service and hosting it within a console application.
I know the service is functioning, because a simple client can perform operations exposed on the service.
If I point the Wcf Test Client to my service, I receive the following error (note tempuri.com was really localhost, but stackoverflow requires me to either wrap this output as a code block or include a FQDN):
System.InvalidOperationException : Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://tempuri.com:27198/UsingWindsor.svc?wsdl'. ----> System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException : Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service http://tempuri.com:27198/UsingWindsor.svc?wsdl. The client and service bindings may be mismatched. ----> System.Net.WebException : 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'..
Not fully understanding the error, I starting playing with the tests that are part of the WcfFacility.
I have modified a test in the Castle.Facilities.WcfIntegration.Tests.ServiceHostFixture to exhibit the same error I am having (of course it works without the modifications):
[Test]
public void CanPubishMEXEndpointsUsingDefaults()
{
using (new WindsorContainer()
.AddFacility<WcfFacility>(f => f.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.Zero)
.Register(Component.For<Operations>()
.DependsOn(new { number = 42 })
.AsWcfService(new DefaultServiceModel()
.AddBaseAddresses(
//"net.tcp://localhost/Operations",
"http://localhost:27198/UsingWindsor.svc")
.AddEndpoints(
WcfEndpoint.ForContract<IOperations>()
//.BoundTo(new NetTcpBinding { PortSharingEnabled = true })
.BoundTo(new BasicHttpBinding())
)
.PublishMetadata(mex => mex.EnableHttpGet())
)
))
{
//var tcpMextClient = new MetadataExchangeClient(new EndpointAddress("net.tcp://localhost/Operations/mex"));
//var tcpMetadata = tcpMextClient.GetMetadata();
//Assert.IsNotNull(tcpMetadata);
var httpMextClient = new MetadataExchangeClient(new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:27198/UsingWindsor.svc?wsdl"));
var httpMetadata = httpMextClient.GetMetadata();
Assert.IsNotNull(httpMextClient);
}
}
Why does this test fail when I eliminate the NetTcp binding and bind to Http? My configuration in my console app is very similar to the modified test. (including for completeness)
container.Register(Component.For<ISimpleService>()
.ImplementedBy<SimpleService>()
.AsWcfService(new DefaultServiceModel()
.AddBaseAddress("http://localhost:515")
.PublishMetadata(x => x.EnableHttpGet())
.AddEndPoints(WcfEndpoint.ForContract<ISimpleService>().BoundTo(new BasicHttpBinding()).At("SimpleService"))));
Not quite sure why the test is failing, but I did solve my problem.
I changed the registration from this:
container.Register(Component.For<ISimpleService>()
.ImplementedBy<SimpleService>()
.AsWcfService(new DefaultServiceModel()
.AddBaseAddress("http://localhost:515")
.PublishMetadata(x => x.EnableHttpGet())
.AddEndPoints(WcfEndpoint.ForContract<ISimpleService>().BoundTo(new BasicHttpBinding()).At("SimpleService"))));
to this:
container.Register(Component.For<ISimpleService>()
.ImplementedBy<SimpleService>()
.AsWcfService(new DefaultServiceModel()
.AddBaseAddress("http://localhost:515/SimpleService")
.PublishMetadata(x => x.EnableHttpGet())
.AddEndPoints(WcfEndpoint.ForContract<ISimpleService>().BoundTo(new BasicHttpBinding()))));
When defining the BaseAddress I now include the "SimpleService" and remove it when defining the EndPoints.
