I have 3 service contract interfaces in my WCF library like this:
public interface ServiceContract1{}
public interface ServiceContract2{}
public interface ServiceContract3 : ServiceContract1, ServiceContract2 {}
Also I have a service which implements ServiceContract3. I can have different endpoints by setting different contracts for each like this:
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:5556/ServiceContract1"
binding="netTcpBinding" name="netTcpBinding1"
contract="WcfServiceLibrary.IServiceContract1">
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:5556/ServiceContract2"
binding="netTcpBinding" name="netTcpBinding2"
contract="WcfServiceLibrary.IServiceContract2">
These endpoints seem to work very well but there is only one mexHttpBinding
endpoint automatically generated. Thus, although a client needs to use one of the endpoints, it will have whole classes after adding Service Reference.
Can i have different mexHttpBinding
endpoints for different contracts? Is there any approach can i follow? Thanks for your help.
Edit #1: ServiceModel configuration
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfServiceLibrary.Service">
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:5556/Service1"
binding="netTcpBinding" name="netTcpBinding"
contract="WcfServiceLibrary.IServiceContract1">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:5556/Service2"
binding="netTcpBinding" name="netTcpBinding"
contract="WcfServiceLibrary.IServiceContract2">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding"
name="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:5555/ConsoleHost" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
I have only one service hosted in my console application:
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(WcfServiceLibrary.Service));
host.Faulted += new EventHandler(Host_Faulted);
// Start listening for messages
host.Open();
