I recently ran into an issue that is throwing me for quite a loop.
I have implemented a custom AuthorizationManager in WCF which first must pull the operation by name. The WCF services are exposed over REST and SOAP endpoints, so I have to check in multiple places to find the information that I need to continue through my authentication process.
Everything has been fine, and I have about 15-20 services running fine, but I just recently ran into a problem where I am unable to pull the operation name using my normal methods.
The code for pull the operation is the following:
public class AuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
private ServiceEndpoint _endpoint { get; set; }
public AuthorizationManager(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
{
_endpoint = endpoint;
}
public override bool CheckAccess(OperationContext operationContext, ref Message message)
{
var buffer = message.CreateBufferedCopy(Int32.MaxValue);
message = buffer.CreateMessage();
var originalMessage = buffer.CreateMessage();
/*Step 1 - Pull Operation*/
string action = operationContext.IncomingMessageHeaders.Action ?? OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties["HttpOperationName"] as string;
DispatchOperation operation = operationContext.EndpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.Operations.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Name == action || o.Action == action);
Type hostType = operationContext.Host.Description.ServiceType;
var operationInfo = hostType.GetMethod(operation.Name);
/*Continue here using operationInfo - but operation is null*/
}
}
This has been useful in pulling the correct operation for both REST and SOAP endpoints, but now the action is empty.
The service definition is the following:
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICollectionService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebGet]
CollectionResponse GetCollection()
}
Everything seems to be pretty standard, I just can't figure out why this is acting any differently than my other services.
