faizmagic posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Hi,

I have been successfuly using CSLA.NET libraries to build one of my application. In my service i am using WSHttpBinding to communicate with the WCF Service,  when i host my WcfPortal Service iin IIS 6.0 and try to invoke the Fetch method from Data Portal i am getting the follwing exception.

The remote server returned an error: (415) Cannot process the message because the content type 'multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml";start="<http://tempuri.org/0>";boundary="uuid:77451d20-7af6-414c-bd3d-54ab50d958d7+id=4";start-info="text/xml"' was not the expected type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'..

when i host the servie in IIS 7.0 it has no issue and work fine.

My config Settings

Client:

<

appSettings><add key="CslaDataPortalProxy" value="Csla.DataPortalClient.WcfProxy, Csla"/><add key ="CslaDataPortalUrl" value ="http://gb-eal-svv-0107/Automation.Solo.Service/WcfPortal.svc"/</appSettings>

Server

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <services>
      <service name="Csla.Server.Hosts.WcfPortal" behaviorConfiguration="returnFaults">
        <endpoint contract="Csla.Server.Hosts.IWcfPortal" binding="wsHttpBinding" />

I think you need to install WCF on that box - under control panel, windows features

Are you talking about a standalone installation of WCF on IIS, i have installed .NET framework 4.0, VS 2010, silverlight, silverlight 4.0 tools and RIA services SDK v1.0 on the server, where i have hosted my WCf service.

do i need any specific installations apart from this to make it working.

or if i change from wsHttpBinding to basicHttpBinding, will it work ?.
