Examples

The following code example shows the use of a service behavior specified in a configuration file to insert a custom error handler in a service application. In this example, the error handler catches all exceptions and converts them into a custom GreetingFault SOAP fault that is then returned to the client.

The following IServiceBehavior implementation adds no binding parameter objects, adds the custom System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.IErrorHandler object to each ChannelDispatcher.ErrorHandlers property, and validates that each operation of the service to which the service behavior is applied and has a System.ServiceModel.FaultContractAttribute of type GreetingFault.

// This behavior modifies no binding parameters.
#region IServiceBehavior Members
public void AddBindingParameters(
  ServiceDescription description,
  ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase,
  System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints,
  System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingParameterCollection parameters
)
{
  return;
}

// This behavior is an IErrorHandler implementation and
// must be applied to each ChannelDispatcher.
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription description, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
  Console.WriteLine("The EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior has been applied.");
  foreach(ChannelDispatcher chanDisp in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers)
  {
    chanDisp.ErrorHandlers.Add(this);
  }
}

// This behavior requires that the contract have a SOAP fault with a detail type of GreetingFault.
public void Validate(ServiceDescription description, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Validate is called.");
  foreach (ServiceEndpoint se in description.Endpoints)
  {
    // Must not examine any metadata endpoint.
    if (se.Contract.Name.Equals("IMetadataExchange")
      && se.Contract.Namespace.Equals("http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/04/mex"))
      continue;
    foreach (OperationDescription opDesc in se.Contract.Operations)
    {
      if (opDesc.Faults.Count == 0)
        throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format(
          "EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior requires a "
          + "FaultContractAttribute(typeof(GreetingFault)) in each operation contract.  "
          + "The \"{0}\" operation contains no FaultContractAttribute.",
          opDesc.Name)
        );
      bool gfExists = false;
      foreach (FaultDescription fault in opDesc.Faults)
      {
        if (fault.DetailType.Equals(typeof(GreetingFault)))
        {
          gfExists = true;
          continue;
        }
      }
      if (!gfExists)
      {
        throw new InvalidOperationException(
"EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior requires a FaultContractAttribute(typeof(GreetingFault)) in an operation contract."
        );
      }
    }
  }
}

      For Each fault As FaultDescription In opDesc.Faults
        If fault.DetailType.Equals(GetType(GreetingFault)) Then
          gfExists = True

      Next fault
      If gfExists = False Then

      End If
    Next opDesc
  Next se
End Sub
#End Region

In this example, the behavior class also implements System.ServiceModel.Configuration.BehaviorExtensionElement, which enables the service behavior to be inserted by using it in an application configuration file, as the following code example demonstrates.

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service 
        name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.SampleService"
        behaviorConfiguration="metaAndErrors">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080/SampleService"/>
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint
          address=""
          binding="wsHttpBinding"
          contract="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.ISampleService"
         />
        <endpoint
          address="mex"
          binding="mexHttpBinding"
          contract="IMetadataExchange"
         />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="metaAndErrors">
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <enforceGreetingFaults />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <extensions>
      <behaviorExtensions>
        <add 
          name="enforceGreetingFaults" 
          type="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior, HostApplication, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
        />
      </behaviorExtensions>
    </extensions>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Remarks

Implement IServiceBehavior to modify, examine, or extend some aspect of service-wide execution at the application level:

Use the ApplyDispatchBehavior method to change run-time property values or insert custom extension objects such as error handlers, message or parameter interceptors, security extensions, and other custom extension objects.
Use the Validate method to examine the description before Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) constructs the executing service to confirm that it can execute properly.
Use the AddBindingParameters method to pass to a binding element the custom information for the service so that it can support the service correctly.

IServiceBehavior objects can make use of any of these methods, but often only one is important; in such cases the unused methods can return without a value.

Note

All of the IServiceBehavior methods pass System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceDescription and System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase objects as a parameters. The ServiceDescription parameter is for examination only; if you modify these objects the execution behavior is undefined.

To perform the customization task for which it is intended, the IServiceBehavior object must be added to the Behaviors property prior to the construction of the service runtime. There are three ways to do this:

Programmatically add the custom service behavior to the Behaviors property prior to the point where the ICommunicationObject.Open method is called on the System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost object.
Create a custom attribute that implements IServiceBehavior and use it to mark service classes that are to be modified. When a ServiceHost object is constructed, WCF uses reflection to discover the attributes on the service type. If any attributes implement IServiceBehavior, they are added to the behaviors collection on ServiceDescription.
Extend the System.ServiceModel.Configuration.BehaviorExtensionElement class to support the specification of the behavior in an application or machine configuration file. See the Example section for more information.

Examples of service behaviors in WCF include the ServiceBehaviorAttribute attribute, the System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceThrottlingBehavior, the System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceDebugBehavior and the System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceMetadataBehavior behavior.

Methods

AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription, ServiceHostBase, Collection<ServiceEndpoint>, BindingParameterCollection)	Provides the ability to pass custom data to binding elements to support the contract implementation.
ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription, ServiceHostBase)	Provides the ability to change run-time property values or insert custom extension objects such as error handlers, message or parameter interceptors, security extensions, and other custom extension objects.
Validate(ServiceDescription, ServiceHostBase)	Provides the ability to inspect the service host and the service description to confirm that the service can run successfully.
