i have a simple data contract which is have a data member that refer to each other, here are the data member:
[DataContract(Namespace = "", Name = "ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage")]
public class ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage
{
[DataMember]
public int ScaleTransactionHeaderMessageId { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string OperatorName { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Shift { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Source { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Destination { get; set; }
**[DataMember]
public List<ScaleTransactionDetailMessage> ScaleTransactionDetailMessages { get; set; }**
}
[DataContract(Namespace = "", Name = "ScaleTransactionDetailMessage")]
public class ScaleTransactionDetailMessage
{
[DataMember]
public int ScaleTransactionDetailMessageId { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public double Tonnage { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public DateTime TransactionDetailDate { get; set; }
**[DataMember]
public ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage scaleTransactionHeaderMessage { get; set; }**
}
Here is the operation causing the problem
private static ScaleTransactionDetailMessage ConvertTransactionDetail(ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage headerMessage, ScaleTransactionDetail transactionDetail)
{
ScaleTransactionDetailMessage detailMessage = new ScaleTransactionDetailMessage
{
Tonnage = transactionDetail.Tonnage,
TransactionDetailDate = transactionDetail.TransactionDetailDate,
ScaleTransactionDetailMessageId = transactionDetail.TransactionDetailId,
//TODO: Check why this is not working
**scaleTransactionHeaderMessage = headerMessage**
};
return detailMessage;
}
The problem is every time i add ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage in the ScaleTransactionDetailMessage data contract i always got an error mentioning connection timeout, i'm sure this is not configuration issue since if i did not add the value to the ScaleTransactionHeaderMessage in the operation contract the service can running properly.
i have unit test the operation and it is working properly, the problem only appear when invoking the service.
Is there any mistakes in the data contract design ?
