WCF / ASMX :: Web Service Endpoint Is Not Seen In App.config?
Jan 4, 2010
I do not understand what is happening here. If I run this same bizApp referenced from a webpage my code finds the endpoint in either my web.config file for the webpage. I copy that same section and paste it into the New version of web page that uses a new WCF that contains this same bizApp and I get a can not find endpoint.
I have a Web service currently in an ASMX file. I want to move this code into its own class library project which generates a DLL. I want to be able to drop this DLL into any Web application and have it work. However, without an ASMX file, I have no URL endpoint. How do I get around this? Essentially, I want to run a Web service without having to distribute an ASMX. I just want to distribute a DLL. Can I map the endpoint for the Web service in the web.config, or something? (I think that perhaps WCF might do this, but one look at the config for that, and it feels like the cure is worse than the disease...)
I am adding a reference of class library in web service in VS2008 and it is not copying the .config file from class library to web service. I have checked the property "Copy to output directory" of .config file and its value is "Copy Always".
My web.config is set up so that I don't have to change anything between deploy from UAT and Production. I can determine what machine it is running on and then programatically pick the correct connection string etc from the web.config based on the name.
Now we are adding a call to a web service which now causes us to have to make a change at deploy time. We set a "Region" flag in the web.config and then in coded an IF statement to call the appropriate webservice based on the flag so all we'd have to change is the "T" to a "P" when moving to production. But then hardcoding a web service in the application is not what we want to do. Nor do we want to change the web service address in the web.config.
Is there any way we can do something like the following to be able to not have to change the web.config at deploy?
It would be something like:
1. Grab current Machine name
2. Look in web.config for corresponding machine name web service reference (like we do for connection strings etc)
I had to move a WCF service (IIS hosted) to a new address. This service is called by a webforms web site on a different site in the same instance of IIS. I checked the WCF service is available and working by calling it directly from a browser.
I then did the following
updated the Service Reference folder in my consuming website updated the web.config servicemodel section (it was auto updated by changing the Service Reference) re-built and deployed libraries using the WCF service to the websites bin folder Stopped the consuming website in IIS and deleted files from Temporary ASP.NET Files folder Re-started IIS and deleted *ALL* files from Temporary ASP.NET files When I browse to a page that calls the WCF service I get the error;
EndpointNotFoundException
There was no endpoint listening at <<Old endpoint address>> that could accept the message
How can I force my website to use the new WCF endpoint? Do I need to re-start the web server?
I am very new to WCF, I have read a lot and seen several presentations about it. I can get the basicHttp endpoint to work on my server but when i wanted to use https, I found that that endpoint binding doesnt work. I think through my research that the wsHttp binding is what i need. I can get the client to work but the service gives me a few different errors when I try to call the ssl endpoint.
Currently i get the following error:
The requested service, 'https://devwcftestsite.crata.ucf.edu/services/Person.svc/Person' could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information.
Below I have included the web.config for my service project which is hosted at:https://devwcftestsite.crata.ucf.edu/services the service is called:Person.svc
i need to be able to expose information to a page, and I need to write the information in xml on my webserver which will be dynamically created from the database.
I need to use json to pass the data from the screen back to the server two way communication xms back and forth. Is it actually any good using a wcf endpoint to serve the json back to the page and use query with wcf? Is this possible?
Or is it easier to use standard pages .aspx and just do a call to a url and get the json with jquery....
We will probably want to send this information to other locations at some point in the future too....
I have a WCF service hosted on win 2008 server. I'm using WAS to expose a named pipe endpoint on the service and have a client website that consumes the service. When i hit the website from a remote machine i get the following error:The pipe name could not be obtained for the pipe URI: Access is denied. (5, 0x5)Now if i hit the website ON THE SERVER it's being hosted from, using localhost in the url, it works fine. Clearly there is something i don't understand about what the named pipe endpoint is looking for. I tried running a trace from my service, but there is no output because the call doesn't even get to the service.
I get "Endpoint not found" when attempting to access my service via the browser at
[URL]
I get "Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://localhost:10093/Services/Service1.svc" when attempting to access the same address from the wcftestclient.
If I place a breakpoint in the service implementation it is hit, so I assume the svc file is setup correctly:
i am trying to call a webmethod from a webservice within a webpart-project and just cant instanciate the class within my webservice. CongressDataExternalSoapClient wsSAP = new CongressDataExternalSoapClient(); at this line i get the following error message: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'com.miltenyibiotec.webservice.congress.CongressDataExternalSoap' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application...
attention should be paid to "SoapClient" at the end of my Class-Name: "CongressDataExternal". VS cannot find the Web-Class CongressDataExternal. in other ASP.NET-Projects, its possible... but not here!!! so the only class i can see is the CongressDataExternalSoapClient. i can also see the interfaces CongressDataExternalSoap and CongressDataExternalSoapChannel. i have already added the needed entries to the webconfig:
Miltenyi.Complaints.Sharepoint is the namespace of my sharepoint webpart project. and this entry is in my settings: Name: Miltenyi_Complaints_SharePoint_com_miltenyibiotec_webservice_congress_CongressDataExternal Type: Webservice URL Scope: App Value: URL to my webservice... what am i doing wrong here?
We have a C# Web Service that declares itself using attributes. The code-behind file looks like:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://the.web.service.url/")] [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)] public sealed class TheWebservice : WebService { [WebMethod] public SomeObject TheFunction() ...
The web services has worked for a long time now. Recently, one request resulted in an error:
The maximum string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded while reading XML data. After searching around, I found that there is a setting maxStringContentLength that can increase the meaximum size. The post says you can configure this setting in Web.config in the BasicHttpBinding section. You can then specify that BasicHttpBinding in an endpoint section. But since we declare the webservice using the WebService attribute in the code-behind file, we do not have an endpoint section.
Is there a way to specify an endpoint using a declarative attribute? Alternatively, is it possible to switch from attribute to web.config mode without breaking existing clients? Am I confusing WCF and its predecessor here?
I have managed to expose the MEX endpoint of my WCF service and I can access it with the address like [URL] (example) and get the WDSL. So no problem there.
However, my WCF test page shows the address wrongly by using the server's name instead of the DNS name. And if I click on the link on the test page it won't work (can't get WSDL).
The WCF test page looks like this:
MyService Service
You have created a service.
To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service.
[URL]
The WCF service is hosted in IIS6. I would like to have a test page with the correct WSDL address so users can see the WSDL quickly in the browser just by clicking on the WSDL address.
In short: How can I change the MyServerName to inter.mycompany.com on the WCF test page? Can this be specified somewhere in the Web.config?
if i have the web application with many pages like add order page, edit order page, and delete order page actually they also interact with the Sql Server 2008 and i also create web service page call Sales_Service.asmx. i know just i need to put something like query into Web Method in Sales_Service.asmx but i have a lot of queries, i don't know which query i should put into it and how the web page call the Sales_Services.asmx
A customer reported that our asmx web service is continually increasing in memory (mem usage as well as private bytes). We are able to reproduce the problem in our lab with Windows 2003 Server SP2 (fully patched) on some of the machines. The customer is using Windows 2008.
We created a Hello World web service targeting the 2.0 framework built under VS2005 SP1 and a test client that continues to call it. The memory increases steadily - approximately 40K per client request. If the test app is paused, the memory remains the same. When it is closed, the memory drops. Explicit calling of GC.Collect does not drop the memory.
We have run the memory profiler on the service and the leak is all native memory. We have uninstalled/re-installed the Framework on one of the machines but no difference. To our knowledge all of the security and IIS settings are not modified. We have compared app pool, default web site and virtual directory properties to machines that have no problem and they are identical.
I have a .net app developed in .net 4.0 version. And I implemented an asmx web service in this. Now I want to call one of the webservice method in another classis ASP application java script function.
Is it possible to run a web service as a particular user/service account in the same way a Windows service can?I have a service account used for connecting to the DB and want to run the webservice under this account as the users using the webservice won't have DB access.The way I see to do it is to include the Impersonate option in the Web.config file, but is there any better way to do this?
How to create an instance of web service without adding web service reference? How to identify the server address/name where the web service is hosted from C# code?
My WCF Client calls my WCF Service which then calls ASMX Web Service. The problem is i have configured my wcf client and wcf service to windows credentials type but when wcf service calls asmx service the user credentials (default windowsidentity) is not passed to asmx service.
In WCF Service i am able to get user identity by using : Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name; WCF Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication. ASMX Web Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication. WCF Service Config [Code]....
i have created a normal web service and i want to host it outside IIS. one idea i got is to use window service as hosting environment. i have created a web service and hosted it window service and its window service is running now.would anybody please let me know that how can i call web service hosted in window service binded over soap.tcp. here is my sample code.
