Windows Azure-在Web角色的虚拟目录中包括WCF服务

Question

Is it possible to have a wcf service role live in a virtual directory (or the equivalent not sure if that word is the appropriate one for Azure) of a web role on Azure.

For example:

www.mydomain.com                  <- contains the web role or website
www.mydomain.com/myservice.svc    <- contains the WCF service

I've seen people suggest that you can change the config to allow for virtual directories, however I have RDPed into both VMs and they appear not to share the same files on disk.

I am Azure newbie, please forgive the terminology. But is it possible to do what I am wanting?

Answer 1

A web site and a WCF service can be accessed using the URLs you listed above if they are both in the same web role. You will get the URLs you describe above if you do the following:

1. Create a new cloud project in Visual Studio, specifying a Windows Azure Cloud Service.
2. At the prompt, add an MVC web role.
3. At the next prompt, select Internet Application and press OK.
4. When the project is created, right click on the MVC project and choose Add --> New Item --> WCF Service.
5. Press F5. The default ASP.NET MVC home page will show up. Then navigate to http://yourlocalhostaddress/Service1.svc . You'll see the typical "You have created a service" landing page for a new WCF service.
