Vista - Problem using MSQM via SRMP with WCF (Indigo) Feb 2006 CTP

Hi all,

I've a XP SP2 box in workgroup mode running MSMQ (message queuing). I
run also WCF Feb 2006 CTP to handle MSQM messages.

Using native communication works well, however, we need to use SRMP
(MSMQ via HTTP) and this make some trouble receiving messages. Sending
works well, to, using this endpoint definition, for instance:

<endpoint
name="ApplicationEndpoint"
address="net.msmq://appsrv2/msmq/private/boxcommunication"
binding="netMsmqBinding"
bindingConfiguration="ForwardBinding"
contract="My.ServiceModel.IJobProcess" >
</endpoint>

The binding simply sets <security mode="none"> as required by workgroup
mode.

Now I try to add a listener watching the queue. Here is the endpoint
definition:

<endpoint name="BoxCommunication"
address="net.msmq://localhost/msmq/private/boxcommunication"
binding="netMsmqBinding"
bindingConfiguration="JobBinding"
contract="My.ServiceModel.IJobProcess" />

As soon as I switch to Srmp I get this exception
(InvalidChannelBindingException):

"Unable to lookup queue with path '.\msmq/private/boxcommunication':
This
operation is not supported for Message Queuing installed in workgroup
mode"

Setting to Srmp is done that way:

host = new ServiceHost(typeof(JobProcessService), baseAddress);
foreach (ServiceEndpoint sep in host.Description.Endpoints)
{
NetMsmqBinding nmsq = (NetMsmqBinding)sep.Binding;
nmsq.QueueTransferProtocol =
System.ServiceModel.Channels.QueueTransferProtocol.Srmp;

}

As soon as I switch back to native mode I receive messages through
UnknownMessageReceived event and with unreconized SOAP header. The
latter is obvious to me, as I want and need SRMP.

I've tried different ways to define the address (however, for sending
messages the address is obviously perfect). Without "msmq" the
exception suggests to add this, if Srmp is being used. Strip out
"private" means that public queues are not supported (also clear to me,
as we're in workgroup mode).

The queue is on same machine as the application. No network traffic
involved. No firewall. I run the app as local Admin.

Any suggestions or ideas would be really helpful.

Thanks,

joerg

Hi Joerg,
Srmp protocol works only when sending messages (on the client side). The
server side should receive the messages like other MSMQ messages.

This is the same as in MSMQ "classic" - direct=http or https format name can
be used only for sending messages.
