WCF facility : Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled

Question

I asked this before and got no where so i'm asking again as i'm now desperate!!

Hey

if i create a new wcf project i can browse the meta instantly.

if I try - when using the WCF facility - i get the following:

Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.

i followed the instructions there and in a million other places and get no where.

if i copy the contents of my faciltity service into the newly created project it complains that aspNetCompatibilityEnabled isnt enabled.

so i enable it and then mex is disabled again and i get: Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.

again!!

this is driving me crazy - i have tried tried tried to follow every example on the web!!

here is my current configuration - there is no client yet:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
        <services>
            <service name="IbzStar.WebServices.UserServices" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
                <!-- Service Endpoints -->
                <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IbzStar.WebServices.IUserServices">
                    <!-- 
              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="ServiceBehavior">
                    <!-- 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>

Answer 2

CVISTA: I am having this same problem.

I basically just need two endpoints. "basicHttpBinding" and "webHttpBinding"

WebHttpBinding is for jquery ... basicHttpBinding is for FLEX 4 applications

It appears no one on the internet uses more than one binding when it comes ot web.config files, becuase they would run into this problem as stated above.

If someone could PLEASE post a sample project (with a web.config, SVC and the ISVC interface) which would accomplish this task.

YOU WOULD THiNK MICROSOFT would allow you to right click the SVC file and "ADD BINDINGS". but 8 hours later I am no where accept in the same place with out a solution.

TO NOTE: FOR FLEX I DO NEED TO GENERATE A WSDL..

TO NOTE: FOR JQUERY, I have only been able to get the wcf svc file working by including Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebScriptServiceHostFactory" into the top....Any help on the correct binding in the Web.config file or attributes/properties on the CLASS FILES WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
