  Metadata not exposed ..

  Oct 04, 2011 05:08 AM|LINK

  Hi,
  
  I got the error "Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata."
  i know its because of some problem with end point, but i am not able to figure what would be a issue.. Can anybody guide me by looking at this code?

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <configuration>
  
    <system.web>
      <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
    </system.web>
    <system.serviceModel>
      <services>
      
        <service name="WASHosting.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="metadataBehavior">
          <endpoint
              address=""
              binding="BasicHttpBinding" 
              behaviorConfiguration="WASHosting.Service1"
              contract="WASHosting.IService1"/>
          <endpoint
              address="mex"
              binding="mexHttpBinding"
              contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
        </service>
  
  
  
      </services>
      <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
          <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
  
            <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"  />
           
  
            <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
          </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
      </behaviors>
      
      
    </system.serviceModel>
   <system.webServer>
      <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
    </system.webServer>
    
  </configuration>

  Well, you have a service behavior called "ServiceBehavior" that enables metatada.

  However, in your service WASHosting.Service1, you reference the behaviorConfiguration "metadataBehavior", which does not exist.  Also, you specifically set the behaviorConfiguration for the BasicHttpBinding endpoint of that service to "WASHosting.Service1" which makes no sense.  Change your behaviorConfiguration to the actual named service behavior you created called "ServiceBehavior".  Note that this is XML so capitalization is important.

  Hi,

  
  As DarrellNorton mentioned, you need to change the ServiceBehavior to metadataBehavior.

  1.Using

      <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
          <behavior name="metadataBehavior">
            <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"  />
            <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
          </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
      </behaviors>

  Instead of

      <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
          <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
            <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"  />
            <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
          </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
      </behaviors>

  2. Add endpointBehaviors node under <behaviors> tag and name it as myBehavior.

  For example:

      <behaviors>
        <endpointBehaviors>
          <behavior name="myBehavior">
             <callbackDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
           </behavior>
        </endpointBehaviors>
      </behaviors>

  Then you can apply it to behaviorConfiguration property of Endpoint like below.

          <endpoint
              address=""
              binding="BasicHttpBinding" 
              behaviorConfiguration="myBehavior"
              contract="WASHosting.IService1"/>

   

  Best regards,
  Peter
