  1. POExposing WCF Services Via HTTP when not hosted in IIS
    text
    copied!<p>Like the title says, we need to set up WCF services between a .NET app, and a Adobe AIR app. We don't want to run IIS on the machine, and would much prefer to install and run the WCF services hosted within a windows service.</p> <p>However, I am uncertain of doing that will let us use HTTP as the transport, of does that only work within IIS? I was able to set things up to use the TCP transport, but that doesn't interop with AIR nearly as nice as using HTTP.</p> <p>EDIT: Some test code I've been using to see if this works:</p> <p>Regular console app:</p> <pre><code> static void Main() { using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(TestService))) { host.Open(); } Console.WriteLine("Waiting..."); Console.ReadLine(); } </code></pre> <p>TestService is a simple HelloWorld type service.</p> <p>In the App.Config:</p> <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt; &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service name="WCFExample2.TestService" behaviorConfiguration="WCFExample2.TestServiceBehavior"&gt; &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCFExample2/Service1/" /&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;!-- Service Endpoints --&gt; &lt;!-- Unless fully qualified, address is relative to base address supplied above --&gt; &lt;endpoint address ="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WCFExample2.ITestService"&gt; &lt;!-- Upon deployment, the following identity element should be removed or replaced to reflect the identity under which the deployed service runs.
