I am new for the WCF, i have web application which uses WCF Service as a data access layer. I am using wcf service library and hosterd it on IIS7. It works fine for few initial service calls but hangs an application for further request. When i reset IIS , then again it is working fine for some time.
Below is the service configuration in web.config of web app
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IRoaster" closeTimeout="00:10:00"

Is there if i comment all the wcf call then for dummy values application works fine. please suggest the appropriate solution
You're probably not disposing the WCF client instance at the end of the request. Look at this post for the gotcha's in working with WCF clients.
Well, i can't solve the following problem.
I have the next:
* A Web Service development in C# + .Net Framework 3.5 + iBatis (VS2010) with some WebMethods.
* The Web Service run on a local server, in IIS 5.1 (http://localhost/BookService/BookService.asmx).
* An application WF+C# + .Net Framework 3.5 (VS2010) where the BO layer have a service reference to the Web Service.
The app.config generated by Service Reference is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>´
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>

binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BookServiceSoap"

</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I'm trying to connecting me to the web service making for example
BookService.BookServiceSoapClient query = new BookService.BookServiceSoapClient("BookServiceSoap","http://10.0.2.15/BookService/BookService.asmx");
or with out the endpointname and the url
BookService.BookServiceSoapClient query = new BookService.BookServiceSoapClient();
But in execution time appears the following message
Could not find endpoint element with name 'BookServiceSoap'
and contract 'BookService.BookServiceSoap' in the ServiceModel
client configuration section. This might be because no
configuration file was found for your application, or because
no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.
Can somebody show me un right example to call for example the method HelloWorld.
Regards!
I am deploying a web application to a remote server. I set up IIS 7 and the site comes up.
As part of the web application there is a service reference to a wcf service.
All of this works fine on my localhost everything runs.
I never did anything with the service itself on the deployment server. I just set up the web application in IIS. Now I am getting an socket exception error that could be from a few thing, I just want to eliminate my options......
My question is do I have to publish the service as part of my deployment process or since I published the web application with a service reference attached to it I should be ok?
Here is my web config portion of the service as you can see there is a reference to localhost (this cant be good) how is this resolved?

You do not have to publish the service as part of the deployment process for the application(otherwise, an ASP.NET application could never talk to an externally published service).
Just make sure that the service address you are trying to communicate with is the actual address of the hosted service (and not localhost, for instance, which would work on your machine, but not once it is deployed).
If you are writing the service and the client, the service does have to be deployed somewhere, and that somewhere must be accessible to the deployed location of the client. The deployment of the service is, however, independent of the deployment of the client.
Your system.ServiceModel section in config is clearly referencing the localhost. Try to change it to point to the actual IIS URL
I'm having trouble finding an answer for this problem. Most similar posts lean seem to be fixed by adjusting some of the maximum size settings in the web.config file. However, none of those suggestions have fixed my issue.
To give a little more background, I'm porting a asmx web service, to a WCF web service hosted in Windows Azure. This problem came up during testing. If I pass a small number of transactions to my webservice in a single call, it tends to work just fine. This error come up though when my transaction size gets around 50-60 (transactions). Serialized to xml, the file size is around 300K, so it's nothing insanely large. But it does tend to lean towards a size issue.
Also, turning on WCF tracing, I found the following exception occuring:
System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException: The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpInput.ThrowHttpProtocolException(String message, HttpStatusCode statusCode, String statusDescription)
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpInput.ThrowMaxReceivedMessageSizeExceeded()
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpInput.ReadBufferedMessage(Stream inputStream)
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpInput.ParseIncomingMessage(Exception& requestException)

So from the exception, it looks as though one of the settings if off in my web.config, but here is what that looks like:

You need to be setting the maxReceivedMessageSize on the client (where the message you're returning from your service is incoming) - in its app.config or web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttp" maxReceivedMessageSize="111024000"
messageEncoding="Text" maxBufferPoolSize="111024000"
textEncoding="UTF-8">
<readerQuotas maxBytesPerRead="111024000"
maxArrayLength="111024000"
maxStringContentLength="111024000"/>
<security mode="None"/>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
<mexHttpBinding>
<binding name="mexBinding"/>
</mexHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client name="whatever">
<endpoint name="HttpEndpoint"
address=""
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="wsHttp"
contract="Bandicoot.CORE.IRepricer" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
The default value for maxReceivedMessageSize is 64K, unless you change it.
I finally figured this one out this morning. The problem was that my service was not using the configuration settings that I thought it was. The reason? The service name in the configuration needs to be a fully qualified path to the service being implemented.
I found this link helpful figuring it out.
I found it a little odd that my service worked without pointing it to an actual endpoint, I guess it just uses a series of default values and if you want something different you can configure them in the web.config? I think this explains why I was getting a basicHttpBinding when I consumed the webservice in my client, instead of wsHttpBinding.
Took a few days to figure it out, but was educational. Thanks for the suggestions!
I had the same error and the cause was revealed to be a configuration error, too.
But in my case this was, like marc_s already posted, the maxReceivedMessageSize setting on the server side. The server was still using its default configuration, which was as low as 64 kb.
As obvious as this now sounds, that long it took me to find out that the error was not on my (client) side.
I hope that this may help someone else.
Hi Question Poster "Brosto"!
This supplements your Nov 17 '10 at 15:29 answer.
We had a “fun”, or should I say “educational” Production Deployment Testing issue today that took most of the day to resolve, and it was literally caused by one keystroke. We only confirmed the source of the problem, after we found out the problem disappeared after the Web Farm was fully deployed.
Here was the cause. When we test our Production Deployment, and do so against a “Single Server” by changing our hosts file, we are bypassing the Load Balancer, and the call to the Single Server ends up going over the default http port 80! When we test against the “Load Balancer”, the call to the Single Server from the Load Balancer, ends up going over the Load Balancer defined port 81!
Since the Service Endpoint Address must be “fully qualified”, to enable the service to find its Custom Bindings, the Services.config file on the Single Server must be changed to reflect the difference between “Single Server” vs “Load Balanced Server” endpoint connections, as follows:
Single Server connection:
endpoint address="http://www.myserver.com:80/Services/MyService.svc"
Load Balanced Server connection:
endpoint address="http://www.myserver.com:81/Services/MyService.svc"
My boss correctly diagnosed the core problem early, saying that the server was acting like the custom bindings were being ignored and the defaults were being used instead. After showing him your comment above where you mention the requirement of “fully qualified” service endpoint address, he realized that the host file redirection was causing our browser request to go to the Single Server over default port 80, instead of the Load Balanced port 81, which in effect altered the fully qualified service endpoint address, which caused the server to ignore the custom bindings and revert to default settings. Please note that it did NOT fail to call the service, it only failed to bind the custom bindings!
Hopefully someone will remember this posting the next time we Production Test a Service with custom bindings :)
I have a WCF service using the basicHTTP binding. The service will be targeted to be deployed
in production in a DMZ environment on a Windows Server 2008 64 bit running IIS 7.0 and is not
in an Active Directory domain.
The service will be accessed by a business partner over the Internet with SSL protection. Originally,
I had built the service to use x.509 Message authentication with wsHTTPBinding and after a lot of
problems I punted and decided to back up and use basicHTTP with UserName authentication.
Result: same exact, obscure error message as I received with certificate mode.
The service works perfectly inside our domain with the exact same authentication but as soon as
I move it to the DMZ I get an error reading: "An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received
from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail".
The inner exception message is: "An error occurred when verifying security for the message."
The services' web config with binding configuration is as follows:
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="HSSanoviaFacade.Service1Behavior" name="HSSanoviaFacade.HSSanoviaFacade">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="HSSanoviaFacade.IHSSanoviaFacade" bindingConfiguration="basicHttp">

<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />

As mentioned earlier, the service works perfectly on the domain and the production IIS box is not on a domain.
I have been tweaking and pulling my hair out for 2 weeks now and nothing seems to work. If anyone can help I
would appreciate it. Even a recommendation for a work around for authentication. I'd rather not use a custom
authentication scheme but use built-in SOAP capabilities.
The credentials pass in thru the proxy i.e. proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName and
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password are valid accounts on both the internal domain in the test
environment and as a machine account on the DMZ IIS box.
Well, maybe not exactly what I wanted but I got it to work. Must be a difference in IIS in a domain versus not.
Here are my changes to the service web config:
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
</security>
As I understand it, this doesn't pass the credentials in the SOAP header but in the HTTP header which means message level security doesn't work in this scenario. Its all protected by an SSL certificate.
