channel factory null on debug?
- by Garrith
When I try to invoke a GetData contract using wcf rest in wcf test client mode I get this message:
The Address property on ChannelFactory.Endpoint was null. The ChannelFactory's Endpoint must have a valid Address specified.
at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory.CreateEndpointAddress(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory`1.CreateChannel()
at System.ServiceModel.ClientBase`1.CreateChannel()
at System.ServiceModel.ClientBase`1.CreateChannelInternal()
at System.ServiceModel.ClientBase`1.get_Channel()
at Service1Client.GetData(String value)
This is the config file for the host:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfService1.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WcfService1.Service1Behavior">
<!-- Service Endpoints -->
<endpoint address="http://localhost:26535/Service1.svc" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1" behaviorConfiguration="webHttp" >
<!--
Upon deployment, the following identity element should be removed or replaced to reflect the
identity under which the deployed service runs. If removed, WCF will infer an appropriate identity
automatically.
-->
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WcfService1.Service1Behavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>

Code:
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "")]
public interface IService1
{
//[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "Data?value={value}")]
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/{value}")]
string GetData(string value);
[OperationContract]
CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract(CompositeType composite);
// TODO: Add your service operations here
}
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public string GetData(string value)
{
return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value);
}
