I've reproduced this in a simple project - details below. It's a WCF service in ASP.NET compatibility mode. What I'm seeing is that when run on the dev machine (Win7), a HTTP session id is available inside the service operation (HttpContext.Current.Session is non-null). But when deployed to the server (Win2k8R2), I get "No session". On both machines the
app is configured to use the classic
app pool, and the
app pools themselves are configured identically as far as I can tell.
The only differences I can discern between the two applications is that on the dev box, under "Handler Mappings", ISAPI-dll is disabled (not on the server), and on the server there's a spurious handler called "AboMapperCustom-7105160" (does not exist on the dev box).
What should I be looking at next? Am I missing something head-slappingly simple?
Service is this:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class Service2 {
[OperationContract]
public string DoWork() {
if (HttpContext.Current != null) {
if (HttpContext.Current.Session != null) {
return "SessionId: " + HttpContext.Current.Session.SessionID;
}
else {
return "No Session";
}
}
else {
return "No Context";
}
}
}
Config is:
