Expose WCF Service as SOAP and REST

Expose WCF  Service as SOAP and REST


1) Create WCF Service application

2) Add interface file+Class file+ .svc file

           Interface file:  interface1.cs
           Class file: class1.cs
           Service file: Service2.svc

3)  interface1.cs


using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace WcfService1
{
[ServiceContract]
    interface Interface1
    {
        [WebGet]
        [OperationContract]   
        Person GetPerson();
    }


    [DataContract]
    public class Person
    {
        [DataMember] public int id{get;set;}
        [DataMember] public String Name{get;set;}
        [DataMember] public DateTime Dob{get;set;}
    }
}
}

4) Class1.cs


namespace WcfService1
{
    [ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true)]
    public class Class1:Interface1
    {
        public Person GetPerson()
        {
            return new Person { id = 102, Dob = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-40), Name = "Peter"};
        }
    }
}


5) Service2.svc


<%@
    ServiceHost
    Service="WcfService1.Class1"
%>


6) In Web.config

  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="WcfService1.Class1">
        <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding"
                   contract="WcfService1.Interface1"
                   behaviorConfiguration="restBehaviour"
                   address="/web"
                  ></endpoint>
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="restBehaviour">
          <webHttp helpEnabled="true" faultExceptionEnabled="true"/>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

6)  For SOAP Clients

 Just run   http://localhost:port/Service2.svc

For Rest Services

  http://localhost:port/Service2.svc/web
     User  gets help page and list of operations, in this case GetPerson
