I have a WCF
service that is causing a bit
of a headache. I have tracing enabled, I have an object with a data contract being built and passed in, but I am seeing this error in the log:

So, here is my
service interface:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IRDCService
{
[OperationContract]
Response<Customer> GetCustomer(CustomerRequest request);
[OperationContract]
Response<Customer> GetSiteCustomers(CustomerRequest request);
}
And here is my
service instance
public class RDCService : IRDCService
{
ICustomerService customerService;
public RDCService()
{
//We have to locate the instance from structuremap manually because web services *REQUIRE* a default constructor
customerService = ServiceLocator.Locate<ICustomerService>();
}
public Response<Customer> GetCustomer(CustomerRequest request)
{
return customerService.GetCustomer(request);
}
public Response<Customer> GetSiteCustomers(CustomerRequest request)
{
return customerService.GetSiteCustomers(request);
}
}
The configuration for the web
service (server side) looks like this:
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true"
logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="MySite.Web.Services.RDCServiceBehavior"
name="MySite.Web.Services.RDCService">
<endpoint address="http://localhost:27433" binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="MySite.Common.Services.Web.IRDCService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost:27433" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MySite.Web.Services.RDCServiceBehavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->

Here is what my request object looks like
[DataContract]
public class CustomerRequest : RequestBase
{
[DataMember]
public int Id { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int SiteId { get; set; }
}
And the RequestBase:
[DataContract]
public abstract class RequestBase : IRequest
{
#region IRequest Members
[DataMember]
public int PageSize { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int PageIndex { get; set; }
#endregion
}
And my IRequest interface
public interface IRequest
{
int PageSize { get; set; }
int PageIndex { get; set; }
}
And I have a wrapper class around my
service calls. Here is the class.
public class MyService : IMyService
{
IRDCService service;
public MyService()
{
//service = new MySite.RDCService.RDCServiceClient();
EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress(APISettings.Default.ServiceUrl);
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None);
binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Streamed;
binding.MaxBufferSize = 65536;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 4194304;
ChannelFactory<IRDCService> factory = new ChannelFactory<IRDCService>(binding, address);
service = factory.CreateChannel();
}
public Response<Customer> GetCustomer(CustomerRequest request)
{
return
service.GetCustomer(request);
}
public Response<Customer> GetSiteCustomers(CustomerRequest request)
{
return
service.GetSiteCustomers(request);
}
}
and finally, the response object.
[DataContract]
public class Response<T>
{
[DataMember]
public IEnumerable<T> Results { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int TotalResults { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int PageIndex { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int PageSize { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public RulesException Exception { get; set; }
}
So, when I build my CustomerRequest object and pass it in, for some reason it's hitting the server as an empty request. Any ideas why? I've tried upping the object graph and the message size. When I debug it stops in the wrapper class with the 400 error. I'm not sure if there is a serialization error, but considering the object contract is 4 integer properties I can't imagine it causing an issue.
