EndpointNotFoundException on call to operation of running RESTful WCF service - c#

I have a really strange problem with one of my WCF services. I'm pretty sure that most people who have experimented with WCF services have had an EndpointNotFoundException thrown when an endpoint had not been set up correctly in one of their configuration files. From the EndpointNotFoundException class page on MSDN:
The exception that is thrown when a remote endpoint could not be found or reached.
Further on, it continues:
The endpoint may not be found or reachable because the remote endpoint is down, the remote endpoint is unreachable, or because the remote network is unreachable.
This does not reflect my situation. So it seems that receiving an EndpointNotFoundException when working with WCF is not unusual, but this Exception is not thrown when first trying to access the service... instead, it is thrown only when trying to call one of the operations of the service:
using (ExportConfirmationServiceClient client = new ExportConfirmationServiceClient(
"WebHttpBinding_IExportConfirmationService")) // <-- Exception is NOT thrown here
{
...
component releaseConfirmation = DeserializeTestXmlFile(filePath);
client.AddExportConfirmation("5051275066302", releaseConfirmation);
// Exception is thrown on call to service operation on line above
...
}
Interestingly, the Exception message also includes the name of the operation in the mentioned file path:
There was no endpoint listening at http://domain/Folder/ServiceName.svc/OperationName that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
The inner Exception has the following message:
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
This is particularly confusing for me as I can successfully browse to the service URL and see the default You have created a service page:
Also, if I navigate to the path in the Exception message, I see an Endpoint not found message on the page:
However, if I navigate to any operation page of one of my other, working WCF services, I get a standard 400 Bad Request error from the browser, even though the operation works fine. So it would seem to me as if this original EndpointNotFoundException could be a red herring... I'm really not sure though, as I've not spent much time working with WCF.
I'll show my web.config (server side) here just in case anyone needs to see it:

So if any of the great minds that frequent Stack Overflow could shed some light on this problem for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
UPDATE >>>
In response to the first few comments, I suspected that the problem could be caused by an Exception being thrown from the server side code, so I simplified the operation code dramatically... now all it does is this, but I still get the same error:
public void AddExportConfirmation(string upc, component ingestionFeedback)
{
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK;
}
Also, I did set up tracing, but it only worked on the client side, so it only told me what I already knew. I will have a look at the link you provided #BigDaddy, in case it shows how to set up tracing on the server side.
In response to Tewr, I generated the service client using svcutil.exe, but I also tried adding a service reference and letting Visual Studio create the reference for me... both methods resulted in the same error. Also, I have been updating the service references all day, as I've been making changes. The includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" setting didn't make any difference, but I'll try adding a dummy operation to the service and try to view it in the browser.
UPDATE 2 >>>
Ok, so I added a simple getter method to the service and updated the references all round like #Tewr suggested. This has just made me more confused... the method:
[XmlSerializerFormat()]
[OperationContract]
[WebGet()]
string GetString();
The implementation just returns a string and I see that value when I access the service in a web browser:
However, I still get the same error from code, even when calling this same new operation... what does that mean?
UPDATE 3 >>>
After taking the advice from the comments, I set up a Service Trace on the service again... I still couldn't get the one working on the server, but on the client, it did output a trace file. In that file, I see an InvalidOperationException with the following message:
Envelope Version 'EnvelopeNone (http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/envelope/none)' does not support adding Message Headers.
I'm just researching this now, so if you know what this error is about, please let me know.

The problem with WCF is that it is so complex, the Exceptions cover so many different errors each and the Exception messages are so vague. From my limited experience, it seems like an error message will say one thing, but it will often be wholly, or partly irrelevant to your actual problem. So I basically kept fixing errors, which unlocked new Exceptions (and I still haven't come to the end of them yet!), but for the purpose of this question, there is an answer.
So it turned out that the original EndpointNotFoundException was actually thrown because there was an unhandled Exception in the AddExportConfirmation service method implementation. Once I had simplified the code (as in the first question update), that particular Exception went away and was replaced with the next one.

Set WCF Service endpoints at server side web config for https

I am stuck in very odd situation and do not know how to solve this issue.
I have very simple WCF service working very fine with http BUT now I want to move it to https.
The issue is Server where it needs to be hosted. Server IIS have an alias name "server-test.local" (not "localhost") with http. Its is accessible locally with this alias name. And its mapped to a Domain name with https (example, https://rmt.XXXXXXX.com).
When I deploy my WCF to that server and check WSDL file, it has mapping of the local alias name instead of public domain name.
it is showing http://server-test.local/WCFService/Service.svc (WRONG)
I want mapping like https://rmt.XXXXXXXX.com/WCFService/Service.svc (CORRECT)

When I add service reference to app. It adds following endpoint which is not conrrect.
Client App.config (endpoint)
<endpoint address="http://server-test.local/WCFService/Service.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IProcessing"
contract="WCFService.IService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IProcessing" />
I am able to access the url and WSDL file through browser but not able to consume any Service methods. I am getting error "There is no endpoint which can accept the message."
I think I am missing something obvious here. Please suggest me changes.
You can try to change some simple steps in the web.config file, you can refer to this post for details.
1.Enable transport level security in the web.config file of the service:
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
2.Use the bindingConfiguration tag to specify the binding name and the behaviorConfiguration tag to configure the behavior, and then specify the address of the managed service. The code is as follows:
<service name="***" behaviorConfiguration="***">
<endpoint address= https://rmt.XXXXXXXX.com/WCFService/Service.svc
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="???"
contract="WCFService.IService"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>

WCF Service returns Error when invoking method from client after changing from http to https "ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher"

I created a HTTP wcf service that will be consumed by a windows client and utilized. I had no issue until I was using HTTP. Now my customer wants to change the site to HTTPS. So for development purpose I have used IIS express certificate and setup the service. Now my service is up and running in IIS with iisexpress self signed certificate. I am able to browse my new https service via browser as well as wcf test client tool.
But when I try invoke the method from my windows application to new https wcf service. My service instance is created but only during invoking a method I get following error:
System.ServiceModel.ActionNotSupportedException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2146233087
Message=The message with Action 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/rm/CreateSequence' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).
In service my binding config (config 3 is being used at https mode and config 2 was used during http mode) are as follows:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttpBinding_IPGPService">
<!--config test 1 - start -->
<!--<security mode="None">

In client we use custom binding to create service instance.
url = "https://localhost:550/TestService/TestService.svc";
customBinding = new CustomBinding();
customBinding.Elements.Add(new ReliableSessionBindingElement());
customBinding.Elements.Add(new HttpsTransportBindingElement());
EndpointAddress endpointAdress = new EndpointAddress(url);
pgpServiceClientInstance = new PGPServiceClient(customBinding, endpointAdress);
pgpServiceClientInstance.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(
StoreLocation.CurrentUser,
StoreName.Root,
X509FindType.FindByThumbprint,
‎"03815c894b62dcf2d17336ade2d9ca61ddb7f92c");
After adding service reference the app.config generated on my Windows application is as follows:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IPGPService">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://localhost:550/TestService/TestService.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IPGPService"
contract="PGPServiceReference.IPGPService" name="WSHttpBinding_IPGPService" />
</client>
So now I can see my service instance is getting successfully created. but on the time of invoking a method I get above error.
There is no code changed before and after moving to https on service end. It is the same service code. It was completely working fine on http but is broken on https.
I have completely removed the service reference and added it newly after making my wcf service https. IIS express self signed certificate is installed and available already on my system. Both service and client are running in same system as of now since it is development
I am suspecting I am having a configuration problem....but with less experience I could not figure out.
Actually it was an additional binding during service instantiation that was causing the problem. Got it sorted by commenting below line in instantiation part.
url = "https://localhost:550/TestService/TestService.svc";
customBinding = new CustomBinding();
//customBinding.Elements.Add(new ReliableSessionBindingElement());
customBinding.Elements.Add(new HttpsTransportBindingElement());
This helped me to proceed with developing the entire service and client.
So that concludes my fix for above issue.
Further down the lane since i am a newbie to wcf service i faced following problems which i faced and solved. Someone who is struggling like me can use below step if you are facing my errors
Next my service had problems accessing folder
Fix: add seperate application pool with an service or administrator account with enough privileges.
To add wcf session to existing code.
Fix: This is where i am facing problem because i was using wshttpbinding with transport security. Then after browsing several materials and codes understood i have to make my config to custombinding with reliablesession and httpstransport to proceed further with development. so my config roughly appears as
<customBinding abc of wcf>
<reliableSession/>
<httpsTransport/>
<\customBinding>
And also uncommented above line of service instantiation after understanding its real purpose.No need for any values in reliable session tag and httpsTransport for basic support of security.
This solved my second issue.
However i am facing wsdl import error in wcf client test tool now which i am struggling now to solve. svcutil proxy generation option or add service refrence with uncheked assembly option doesnt seem to be working. Also i noticed that even if add my service refrence freshly to client there is no configurations generated to my app.config file surprisingly.....and above mentioned options dont help.....looking for experts ideas....
Fix : ??? Expolring....
Souls who read this are welcome to give answer/suggestion.

When I run this Server and the Client Applications on my local machine, it's working fine.
But when i try to run the Server Application on another PC, I cannot add a Service Reference at the Client because I get this:
405 Method not allowed Metadata contains a reference that can not be resolved : "http://192.168.178.54:8500/MetaInfo". It was not a
listening to http://192.168.178.54:8500/MetaInfo endpoint present who
could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect
address or SOAP action
I tried almost everything I found at the internet but nothing worked.
Switching to IIS or using an other Protocol should be a plan B, i want to keep it self hosted with http.
Please can somebody help me I'm desperate with this Problem.
your operation contract is decorated with [WebGet] attribute, which means you're trying to expose your service as a REST. But your service is using basicHttpBinding as means of building the communication channel which isn't supported because the content type for this binding is soap+xml. You'll need to use WebHttpBinding in this case which is the only binding that supports restful implementation of WCF Services and supports both Xml and Json data types.

MSMQ invalid signature errors in transacted dead letter queue

Let me first state that this question is awfully similar to the following post: MSMQ messages received but not delivered Windows 2008 R2. Still, the post is unclear about what resolved the problem.
My scenario:
I have two entities A and B both acting as services and clients to each other.
I also have another entity C, which acts as a client to B.
A sends a message to B, registering it's URI.
Upon some event, C send a message to B.
Having received a message from C, B sends a message to A.
All messages are sent on transacted queues. When I'm running the above scenario solely on localhost (Windows 7 professional), everything is fine: all messages are correctly sent and received.
Now the problem arises in the following setup where A and C are on my Windows 7 pro. machine and B is on a Windows Server 2012 R2.
For step 1 and 2, everything is sound: messages are sent and received. Now in 3, when B sends it's message to A, A never gets the message. MSMQ's events log tells me that B has indeed sent the message while A's last event is: "Message came over network".
When I check in the Transacted Dead Letter queue on B, I can now see that all my messages have the "invalid signature" error. From what I gathered, it seems that this error might be linked to authentification issues so here's what I've done in A's config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />

<transport msmqAuthenticationMode="None" msmqProtectionLevel="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</netMsmqBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I also create the queue as follows:
MessageQueue queue;
if (!MessageQueue.Exists(queueName))
{
queue = MessageQueue.Create(queueName, true);
queue.Authenticate = false;
queue.SetPermissions("ANONYMOUS LOGON",
MessageQueueAccessRights.FullControl,
AccessControlEntryType.Allow);
}
Yet, still having the "invalid signature" issue. If anyone can shed some light on this,
many, many thanks in advance!
Found the solution. Most posts talking about the "invalid signature" error in the transacted dead letter queue explain in more or less details how it usually concerns a permission problem on the receiving end (in this case, the security configuration of A's queue). In my case, the problem lied on the sending end as well. Namely:
If you're getting "The signature is invalid" errors, that means your
channel is trying to send authenticated messages.
(source)
For the sake of completeness, here is my current security configuration for A:
<netMsmqBinding>
<binding name="TransactedBinding" deadLetterQueue="System" useActiveDirectory ="False">
<security mode="None">
<message clientCredentialType="None"/>
<transport msmqAuthenticationMode="None" msmqProtectionLevel="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</netMsmqBinding>
A's service endpoint refers to this binding using:
<endpoint address="net.msmq://localhost/private/MainOrchestrator/MainOrchestratorService" binding="netMsmqBinding" bindingConfiguration="TransactedBinding" contract="MachineCommunication.Contracts.OrchestratorContracts.IOrchestratorService" />
While this is all fine and dandy, it is not sufficient.
On B's side, I was sending the messages to a with:
NetMsmqBinding msmqCallbackBinding = new NetMsmqBinding();
EndpointAddress epAddr = new EndpointAddress(client.clientUri);
OrchestratorServiceClient orchestratorServiceClient = new OrchestratorServiceClient(msmqCallbackBinding, epAddr);
using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required))
{
sendAction(orchestratorServiceClient);
scope.Complete();
}
orchestratorServiceClient.Close();
The problem lied in the NetMsmqBinding. By default, it seems that this binding tries to use authentication and this is why it failed. Replacing:
NetMsmqBinding msmqCallbackBinding = new NetMsmqBinding();
with:
NetMsmqBinding msmqCallbackBinding = new NetMsmqBinding(NetMsmqSecurityMode.None);
Fixed the issue.
I tried to add a comment but I don't have enough "rep". This is not exactly an answer but I believe your problem lies with MSDTC.

What you describe could be related to thread creation time.
See here: WCF service may scale up slowly under load
"Depending on the execution time and number of requests received you may notice the WCF execution time increase linearly by approximately 500ms for each request received until the process has created sufficient IOCP threads to service the requests or sustain the incoming load."
A workaround is provided in the article.
I'm dealing with the same problem, looking at these links to address the issue.
The overview seems that, out-of-the-box, WCF is 'locked down' to prevent DoS vulnerabilities. Essentially, you need to un-throttle the service as described in the links below.
