WCF service stoped working on migration to MVC4 and VS2013

Question

User-2146352328 posted

MVC2 this worked fine(vs2010). See:

http://forums.asp.net/t/1992971.aspx?Cannot+call+WCF+server+with+Jquery+in+MVC+2

now it will not call the service. The problem i get is:

If i put  url: "/wcf/Servicesecurity.svc/securelog" in Ajax i get 404 not found.

if i put url: url: '<%= @Url.Content("~/wcf/Servicesecurity.svc/securelog")%>', i get 400 bad location and it goes out like this:

http://localhost:53529/%3C%=%20/wcf/Servicesecurity.svc/securelog%%3E  (on firefox firebug).

MV4 also complained and made me change the web.config setting for the service, for example from :

<service name="Servicesecurity" behaviorConfiguration="ServicesecurityBehavior">

to <service name="MvcApplication1.wcf.Servicesecurity" behaviorConfiguration="ServicesecurityBehavior">

I tried both was, won't make a difference. Also included the factory directive to the markup of the service.

So any thoughts?

P.S. I have registered the script to the view like this:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery-1.11.1.min.js")
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

       
    });

.....etc

</script>

@section featured {
    <section class="featured">
        <div class="content-wrapper">

....etc

hope is correct.I tested with an alert in JS and it shows

I cannot think of anything else i did.So...

And now, supposedtly i can add and ignore route, like:

 // RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("wcf/{*.pathInfo}");  //or
            RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("{wcf}/{Servicesecurity}.svc/{*pathInfo}");

but i get "NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://localhost:53529/wcf1/Servicesecurity.svc/securelog"

{"ExceptionDetail":{"HelpLink":null,"InnerException":{"HelpLink":null,"InnerException":null,"Message":"The OperationFormatter could not deserialize any information from the Message because the Message is empty (IsEmpty = true).","StackTrace":"   at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.PrimitiveOperationFormatter.DeserializeRequest(Message message, Object[] parameters)","Type":"System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException"},"Message":"Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'securelog'. The OperationFormatter could not deserialize any information from the Message because the Message is empty (IsEmpty = true)."

Hi sapator,

Thanks for your post.

Based on your description and code provided, I understand you want to create wcf svc file and works as the rest service in asp.net mvc

application. For this issue, I think you should set the route first like below.

//WCF route.........
routes.IgnoreRoute("WCF/{resource}.svc/{*pathInfo}");

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Test4", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

And Service like below.

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET")]
        public string Test() 
        {
            return "Hello";
        }

Then config the wcf service in web.config file.

 <service name="MvcApplication.WCF.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="BasicBehavior" >
        <endpoint name="EndPoint1" address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MvcApplication.WCF.IService1" behaviorConfiguration="FirstEndPointBehavoir"  ></endpoint>
      </service>

.........
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="BasicBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" /> 
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="FirstEndPointBehavoir">
          <enableWebScript />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>

Call it in the ajax.

<script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function () {

            $('#Button1').click(function () { 
                $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url:'@Url.Content("~/WCF/Service1.svc/Test")' ,
                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    data: '{}',
                    dataType: "json",
                    success: function (data) {
                        alert(data.d);
                    },
                    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
                        alert(xhr.status);
                        alert(thrownError);
                    }
                });

            });
        });

</script>

Hope this helps, thanks.

Best Regards!
