Question of the Day: what is the action for my OperationContract?
Answer: if not set explicitly, the action is contractNamespace + contractName + “/” + operationName. For responses, tack on “Response” at the end of this string.
By default, contractNamespace == “http://tempuri.org/”, contractName == class name, and operationName == method name. These names can be specified explicitly through ServiceContractAttribute.Namespace, ServiceContractAttribute.Name, and OperationContractAttribute.Name respectively.
As an example, if you have the following operation:
ServiceContract]class MyService{
OperationContract]public string SampleHello(string name){
return string.Format(“Hello {0}.”, name);}
}
the request action is http://tempuri.org/MyService/SampleHello, and the response action is http://tempuri.org/MyService/SampleHelloResponse.
Alternatively, you can specify the action(s) of your method with the Action and ReplyAction parameters to OperationContract (i.e. [OperationContract(Action=”myAction”, ReplyAction=”myReplyAction”)]
