Not able to consume a WCF service with CustomBinding endpoint with messageversion as Soap12

[ranjitkrishnan]

I have to consumer a WCF service from my Core2.0 API. The WCF service has custombiding with messageVersion as Soap12.

Please find the wcf service binding configuration.

<customBinding>
        <binding closeTimeout="00:10:00" openTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00">
          <textMessageEncoding  messageVersion ="Soap12">
            <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
          </textMessageEncoding>
          <httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" useDefaultWebProxy="true" transferMode="Buffered" />
        </binding>
      </customBinding>

I am using System.ServiceModel.Primitives to create the CustomBinding from my .NET Core Code.

Please find the code below

           
            var binding = new CustomBinding();
TextMessageEncodingBindingElement textBindingElement = new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement
            {
                MessageVersion = MessageVersion.CreateVersion(EnvelopeVersion.Soap12, AddressingVersion.None),
                WriteEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8,
                ReaderQuotas = System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max
            };

            binding.Elements.Add(textBindingElement);

            HttpTransportBindingElement httpBindingElement = new System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpTransportBindingElement
            {
                AllowCookies = false,
                MaxBufferSize = int.MaxValue,
                MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue,
                TransferMode= TransferMode.Buffered
            };
            binding.Elements.Add(httpBindingElement);

I am getting the below error from this call.

ActionNotSupportedException: The message with Action '' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None)

This will work for any other message version like Soap11, Soap12WSAddressing10 which is directly present in MessageVersion class. It is not working when i am creating messageversion using CreateVersion method as there is no in-built support for Soap12 as it used to be with the framewrok dll

I have the same problem(also consuming from net core 2. Soap11 works Soap12 throws this exception. In fact I can't even see the request going out in fiddler
The difference is I am using HttpsTransportBindingElement.

Hi, My .net solution was implemented to use custom binding on Soap11WSAddressing10, when moving to .Net core Soap11WSAddressing10 was not available option and Soap12WSAddressing10 is not working :(
Can we have Soap11WSAddressing10 available in .Net core please?

[mconnew]

I did some investigation and I can understand why Soap11WSAddressing10 doesn't work. The code for Soap11 here is missing on core. The issue with just Soap12 I'm not able to see what the issue is after a few minutes of digging through the code and I'll need to do more investigation.

[Lxiamail]

@mconnew Need open test issue for write tests for Soap11WSAddressing10 and Soap12, include details needed.

[Lxiamail]

@StephenBonikowsky Can we have test for this?

[StephenBonikowsky]

I have added tests that reproduce the error, #3132
I have updated the issue that had been opened to track adding the tests with the details, #2864

[swiftarrow101]

Hello,
I am seeing the same issue in .Net Core 2.0
Has this been fixed in 2.1?
Thanks

[Lxiamail]

@swiftarrow101 This hasn't been fixed yet, however, it is in our pipe to work on.

Soap12 without Addressing lost the action attribute in the ContentType header.

The quicker solution is move lines from

wcf/src/System.Private.ServiceModel/src/System/ServiceModel/Channels/HttpChannelFactory.cs

Lines 1178 to 1182 in 1e49a79

	if (message.Version.Addressing == AddressingVersion.None)
	{
	message.Headers.Action = null;
	message.Headers.To = null;
	}

to

wcf/src/System.Private.ServiceModel/src/System/ServiceModel/Channels/MessageContent.cs

Line 53 in 1e49a79

Is there a workaround for this issue until it's fixed in a future release?

[bdrupieski]

I think I came up with a workaround. After looking through the source I saw that if I try to add a "SOAPAction" header, it will be added as a Content-Type header parameter.

This seems to work:

private static T AddSoapActionHeader<T>(Expression<Func<T>> expression)
{
    var method = ((MethodCallExpression)expression.Body).Method;
    var operationContract = method.DeclaringType.GetInterfaces()
        .Select(interfaceType => interfaceType.GetMethods())
        .SelectMany(interfaceMethods => interfaceMethods)
        .Where(interfaceMethod => interfaceMethod.Name == method.Name)
        .Select(interfaceMethod => interfaceMethod.GetCustomAttribute<OperationContractAttribute>())
        .FirstOrDefault(attr => attr != null);

    using (new OperationContextScope(_client.InnerChannel))
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(operationContract?.Action))
        {
            OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = new HttpRequestMessageProperty
            {
                Headers =
                {
                    { "SOAPAction", $"\"{operationContract.Action}\"" },
                }
            };
        }

        var func = expression.Compile();
        return func();
    }
}

I have to wrap every method call with it, so this:

var products = _client.getProductList(id);

becomes:

var products = AddSoapActionHeader(() => _client.getProductList(id));

edit:
Alternatively, you can use it like this if it's an extension method:

var products = _client.AddSoapActionHeader(() => _client.getProductList(id));

public static class ClientBaseExtensions
{
    public static T AddSoapActionHeader<TClientInterface, T>(this ClientBase<TClientInterface> client, Expression<Func<T>> expression) 
        where TClientInterface : class
    {
        var method = ((MethodCallExpression)expression.Body).Method;
        var operationContract = method.DeclaringType.GetInterfaces()
            .Select(interfaceType => interfaceType.GetMethods())
            .SelectMany(interfaceMethods => interfaceMethods)
            .Where(interfaceMethod => interfaceMethod.Name == method.Name)
            .Select(interfaceMethod => interfaceMethod.GetCustomAttribute<OperationContractAttribute>())
            .FirstOrDefault(attr => attr != null);

        using (new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel))
        {
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(operationContract?.Action))
            {
                OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = new HttpRequestMessageProperty
                {
                    Headers =
                    {
                        { "SOAPAction", $"\"{operationContract.Action}\"" },
                    }
                };
            }

            var func = expression.Compile();
            return func();
        }
    }
}
