I designed a WCF REST service and try to consume it via JQuery in html page. When I added the html page in the solution where WCF service was created, I was getting the result as per the need. But when I created the HTML Page in a different solution I started getting errors such as no element found and the returned result is null.

I put a debugger in the service and I noticed that even if the the Consumer html page is kept in a different solution it still hits the global.asax file when service is called, But its not hitting any of the Method. I even put "crossDomain:true," and "jQuery.support.cors = true;" in script for enabling Cross Domain problem as well as I have made changes in Global.asax file too but of no use. Please provide me the solution for the same asap.

I am placing the actual code with configuration files and DataContracts along with the HTML code here :

ICouponService.cs :

C#
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICouponService
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/GenerateCoupon",
        Method = "POST",
        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    CouponData GenerateCoupon(CouponData objCustomerData);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/UpdateGeneratedCoupon",
        Method = "POST",
        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    ResponseMessage UpdateGeneratedCoupon(CouponData objCustomerData);
}


CouponService.cs :

C#
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
[ServiceBehavior(AddressFilterMode = AddressFilterMode.Any)]
public class CouponService : ICouponService
{

    public CouponData GenerateCoupon(CouponData objCustomerData)
    {
return objCouponData;
    }


    public ResponseMessage UpdateGeneratedCoupon(CouponData objCustomerData)
    {
return objResponseMessage;

    }
    }


CouponData.cs :
C#
 [DataContract]
    public class CouponData
    {
    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string Points { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string ActiveFlag { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string CouponCode { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string RequestID { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string LoyaltyID { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string Result { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string ReturnFlag { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string Password { get; set; }
}


ResponseMessage.cs :
C#
[DataContract]
public class ResponseMessage
{
    [DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
    public string Response { get; set; }
}


Global.asax : First I thought there might be some Header problem so I added the same in Global file as shown below :
C#
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string sessionId = Session.SessionID;
    }

    protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
        EnableCrossDomainAjaxCall();
    }

    private void EnableCrossDomainAjaxCall()
    {

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_ORIGIN"]))
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_ORIGIN"]); 
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod))
            {
                if (HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod == "OPTIONS" || HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod == "POST" || HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod == "GET")
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST");
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Accept");
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "1728000");
                    //HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
                }
            }
        }
    }

This code is working fine with IE10 and other browsers when it is deployed on IIS, but it's still causing problem with IE9 and below versions of IE. On IE it shows and Error - "Access is Denied."

1 solution

See the inline comment in the code extract below for the GenerateCoupon function:

function GenerateCoupon() {
   // -- snip --

   // this part seems to be the culprit. you're supposed to have the complete url of the service
   Url = "ServiceURL";

   // -- snip --
}

Hi Karthik. A, I have not given the service url instead its just the snippet I have mentioned here, I don't think its a problem here. The problem is - "This code is working fine with IE10 and other browsers when it is deployed on IIS, but it's still causing problem with IE9 and below versions of IE. On IE it shows and Error - Access is Denied."
