Autodocs Error: Extension element 'autodocsBehaviorExtension' cannot be added to this element.

Question

Hi, 

I have been looking for a solution to this problem without much luck. I am adding a extensions to my web.config as described there: http://autodocs.codeplex.com/  but got the following error: 

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.serviceModel/behaviors: Extension element 'autodocsBehaviorExtension' cannot be added to this element.  Verify that the extension is registered in the extension collection at system.serviceModel/extensions/behaviorExtensions.

Parameter name: element

Am I missing a reference?  I have tried to GAC the Autodocs assembly but still no luck. What could explain this problem?  

Thank you,

Here is an extract of my web.config:

 

<extensions>

      <behaviorExtensions>

        <add name="autodocsBehaviorExtension" type="Autodocs.ServiceModel.Web.AutodocsBehaviorExtension,Autodocs.ServiceModel.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ad2dc2e36787b789"/>

      </behaviorExtensions>

    </extensions>

 

    <!--For debugging purposes set the includeExceptionDetailInFaults attribute to true-->

    <behaviors>

      <serviceBehaviors>

        <behavior name="defaultBehavior">

          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />

          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />

        </behavior>

      </serviceBehaviors>

      <endpointBehaviors>

        <behavior name="restBehavior">

          <webHttp/>

          <autodocsBehaviorExtension/> <!-- this is the error -->

        </behavior>

      </endpointBehaviors>

    </behaviors>

Answer 1

Hello, please make sure you're using the correct type. I don't know if this is a service behavior extension or endpoint behavior extension. Make sure you've put it in the right place. You can also ask the question on http://autodocs.codeplex.com/discussions.

By the way, WCF 4's REST service has built-in help page.
