WCF service dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph in web.config
- by Dave
I am having issues specifying the dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph in host's web.config.
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="beSetting">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service name="MyNamespace.MyService"
behaviorConfiguration="beSetting" >
<endpoint address="http://localhost/myservice/"
binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding1"
contract="MyNamespace.IMyService"
bindingNamespace="MyNamespace">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
The above has no effect on my data pull. The server times out because of the large volume of data.
I can however specify the max limit in code and that works
[ServiceBehavior(MaxItemsInObjectGraph=2147483646, IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]
public abstract class MyService : MyService
{
blah...
}
Does anyone know why I can't make this work through a web.config setting? I would like to keep in the web.config so it is easier for future updates.
