配置自托管的wcf服务端点

Question

I've taken the most basic example of setting up a hosted endpoint ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731758.aspx ... and from this i want to have my service be configured in the way that it does within say IIS ... using the config file for my application.

That seemingly is not the default in this scenario.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

as per the link above i have something like this ...

// Create the ServiceHost.
using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloWorldService), baseAddress))
{
    // Enable metadata publishing.
    ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
    smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
    smb.MetadataExporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15;
    host.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

    // Open the ServiceHost to start listening for messages. Since
    // no endpoints are explicitly configured, the runtime will create
    // one endpoint per base address for each service contract implemented
    // by the service.
    host.Open();

    Console.WriteLine("The service is ready at {0}", baseAddress);
    Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to stop the service.");
    Console.ReadLine();

    // Close the ServiceHost.
    host.Close();
}

now i want to have the "baseAddress" and the smb object info assigned using config. for example as defined at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733932.aspx ...

<system.ServiceModel>

   <services>
   <!—- Define the service endpoints. This section is optional in the new
    default configuration model in .NET Framework 4. -->
      <service>
         <endpoint/>
      </service>
   </services>

   <bindings>
   <!-- Specify one or more of the system-provided binding elements,
    for example, <basicHttpBinding> --> 
   <!-- Alternatively, <customBinding> elements. -->
      <binding>
      <!-- For example, a <BasicHttpBinding> element. -->
      </binding>
   </bindings>

   <behaviors>
   <!-- One or more of the system-provided or custom behavior elements. -->
      <behavior>
      <!-- For example, a <throttling> element. -->
      </behavior>
   </behaviors>

</system.ServiceModel>

my problem is that if i browse to the configured base address using my browser the endpoint isn't there as expected.

I get no errors and its acting like theres an active endpoint up ... but where is it?

EDIT 2: Additional info: The code i'm using is as above, my config file looks like this ...

EDIT: some more detail on scope:

the wcf endpoint is defined in a web project. the web project is referrenced by a windows service which hosts an instance of it. i then have a console app that refers to and creates an instance of the windows service in order to test it.

My question is about getting that console app to fire up the windows service and that in turn the WCF endpoint so that it can then make calls on the endpoint in order to perform some end to end testing of my solution.

Answer 1

Revised Answer Based On Additional Info

Ok, if I understand you correctly, you've created a WCF web application, and a separate Windows Service that creates an instance of that WCF service. Now you're trying to create a console app to test your solution.

I think you're making things more complex than they need to be. The Windows Service should either be a client that calls the WCF service, or it should host the WCF service itself.

In either event, if you're writing a console app to do end-to-end testing of your solution, it certainly seems to me that the console app is the client - which as I've said has nothing to do with ServiceHost or hosting the service.

Simply start the service from within your console app (or start it separately and have it already running), and then execute calls against the Windows Service in the same way any other client would.

If I'm still missing something, let me know and I'll try again. I'm about to sign off, so feel free to e-mail me (my address is in my profile) and I'll look at it tomorrow.
