I am attempting to create a wcf service that accepts any input (Action="*") and then deserialize
the message after determining its type. For
the purposes of testing deserialization I am currently hard-coding
the type for
the test service.
I get no errors from
the deserialization process, but only
the outer object is populated after deserialization occurs. All inner fields are null. I can process
the same request against
the original wcf service successfully.
I am deserializing this way, where knownTypes is a type list of expected types:
DataContractSerializer ser = new DataContractSerializer(new createEligibilityRuleSet ().GetType(), knownTypes);
createEligibilityRuleSet newReq = buf.CreateMessage().GetBody<createEligibilityRuleSet>(ser);
Here is
the class and sub-classes of
the request object. These classes are generated by svcutil using a top down approach from an existing wsdl. I have tried replacing
the XmlTypeAttributes with DataContracts and
the XmlElements with DataMembers with no difference. It is
the instance of CreateEligibilityRuleSetSvcRequest on
the createEligibilityRuleSet object that is null. I have included
the request retrieved from
the request at
the bottom
