When a FaultException is returned from my WCF service, I need to Abort the channel instead of Closing it. Both my client and service work fine with this approach but after implementing IErrorHandler on the service and logging any exception, I can see that calling Abort on the client causes the service to log:
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted...
I do not want to pollute my service logs with this information and only want to log service related errors. I know I can obviously stop logging any CommunicationExceptions but my service is also a WCF client for other services and CommunicationExceptions raised by these services should be logged.
How can I stop it doing this?
As nobody else has answered the question (Tomas's answer was not relevant), I asked a few experts in the field. Unfortunately, there is no nice way of stopping this and the best that they could come up with was to add logic in IErrorHandler to not log CommunicationExcepions with a message starting with 'The socket connection was aborted'. Not very elegant, but it does work.
