One class implements two service contracts


I want to create a class that implementing 2 service contracts, and exposing 2 end-points on different ports (I get the ports as input to the program).

My question is very similar to this question, but I want two end-points each one on different port.

EDIT:

Using this code:

var aConnectionString = "http://localhost:8200/A";
var bConnectionString = "http://localhost:8201/B";

ServiceHost host= new ServiceHost(typeof(abImp));

var binding = new BasicHttpBinding();

host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(A), binding, aConnectionString);
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(B), binding, bConnectionString);

{
    // Check to see if the service host already has a ServiceMetadataBehavior
    ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = host.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>();

    // If not, add one
    if (smb == null)
        smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();

    smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
    smb.MetadataExporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15;
    host.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);


    host.AddServiceEndpoint(
        ServiceMetadataBehavior.MexContractName,
        MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding(),
        aConnectionString
        );

}
host.Open();

I'm getting this error message on the host.Open() operation:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.ServiceModel.dll

Additional information: A binding instance has already been associated to listen URI 'http://localhost:8200/A'. If two endpoints want to share the same ListenUri, they must also share the same binding object instance. The two conflicting endpoints were either specified in AddServiceEndpoint() calls, in a config file, or a combination of AddServiceEndpoint() and config.

SOLUTION

            var aConnectionString = "http://localhost:" + portA+ "/A";
            var bConnectionString = "http://localhost:" + portB+ "/B";


            ServiceHost aHost = new ServiceHost(instance, new Uri(aConnectionString));
            ServiceHost bHost = new ServiceHost(instance, new Uri(bConnectionString));

            aHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceBehaviorAttribute>().InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single;
            bHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceBehaviorAttribute>().InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single;

            aHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(A), new BasicHttpBinding(), aConnectionString);
            bHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(B), new BasicHttpBinding(), bConnectionString);


            {
                // Check to see if the service host already has a ServiceMetadataBehavior
                var smb = aHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>() ?? new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
                aHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

                aHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
                    ServiceMetadataBehavior.MexContractName,
                    MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding(),
                    aConnectionString + "/Mex"
                    );
            }
            {
                // Check to see if the service host already has a ServiceMetadataBehavior
                var smb = bHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>() ?? new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
                bHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

                bHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
                    ServiceMetadataBehavior.MexContractName,
                    MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding(),
                    bConnectionString + "/Mex"
                    );
            }

            aHost.Open();
            bHost.Open();

Solution

  • Given that you want two completely different addresses, only same implementation class, I'd recommend use of two different ServiceHost instances.
