WCF service hosting failing while using netMsmqBinding binding with IIS hosting

Question

The WCF service while hosting with IIS is failing. The web.config for the service is

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <netMsmqBinding>
            <binding name="msmqbindingnontransactionalnonsecure" exactlyOnce="False">
                <security mode="None" />
            </binding>
        </netMsmqBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
        <service name="MsmqService.MsmqService">
            <endpoint address="net.msmq://localhost/private/msmqpoc/MsmqService.svc"  binding="netMsmqBinding" bindingConfiguration="msmqbindingnontransactionalnonsecure" contract="MsmqWCFService.IMsmqContract" />
        </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
            <behavior>
                <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
                <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
                <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
                <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
            </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>

The service contract is

[ServiceContract]
public interface IMsmqContract
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void SendMessage(string message);
}

While hosting service in IIS the following is the message that is displayed:

Server Error in '/msmqpoc' Application.

Binding validation failed because the binding's ExactlyOnce property is set to true while the destination queue is non-transactional. The service host cannot be opened. Resolve this conflict by setting the ExactlyOnce property to false or creating a transactional queue for this binding.

The configuration is already is set to exactlyOnce=false, not sure why this error is coming, any help?

Answer 1

I can only surmise your service is not picking up the correct config file. I would suggest double checking that. I cannot see any problem with the config file you have posted.

Slightly off topic, I would hazard that you should consider why you are using non-transactional queues. The only reason you would be using them would be if your overall architecture can tolerate message loss.

For example, in some low latency systems the messages are only valuable for at most seconds before they become invalid. So in this instance you would not need to use transactional queues.

If you cannot tolerate message loss you must use transactional queuing.
