I have developed a wcf service having two contracts Contract1 and Contract2 exposed on two different endpoints. When i am going to add reference to my client application it allows me to consume both contracts.
How i restrict client application to consume only one contract?
here is my web.config's code
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="MyWCFService.Service1Behavior"
name="MyWCFService.Service1">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:1010/Service1.svc"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="/MyService1" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="MyWCFService.IService1" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<endpoint address="/MyService2" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="MyWCFService.IService2" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyWCFService.Service1Behavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
Thanks in advance.
why not break single webservice endpoint with 2 contracts into two webservice endpoints on different addresses and 1 contract per each and use only one in your client application.
Its unclear why your design requires 2 contracts on 1 endpoint , only allowing client to use 1 contract.
Or add some security, maybe some fairly basic stuff like add password field to method signatures in contract you want to restrain access to.
