Creating and using a WebServiceHost
So I'm working on getting a communication channel open between my Unity game and a menu service written in WPF and C#. I've been having issues getting services to launch and finally came across the WebServiceHost. I was able to implement it in unity, it seems to open and return to me a CommunicationState.Opened state so it seems to have opened and be running but when I try to send a message to it through my web browser it tells me Bad Request (Invalid host). I'm very new to trying to do this so if my explanation is wrong I apologize. Below is the code I'm using to create and start the service as well as the messaging class. Also I'm entering http://localhost:9098/AMI/Megatouch/ShowInGameMenu?name=Quit into my web browser
[ServiceContract] public interface IInGameMenuMessaging { [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "ShowInGameMenu?name={name}")] void ShowInGameMenu(string name);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "HideInGameMenu")]
void HideInGameMenu();
}
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single)] public class InGameMessaging : IInGameMenuMessaging {
public void ShowInGameMenu(string name)
{
//Console.WriteLine("Inside ShowInGameMenu:{0}", name);
Debug.Log("Inside ShowInGameMenu:");
}
public void HideInGameMenu()
{
Console.WriteLine("Inside HideInGame");
}
}
public class service_host { public WebServiceHost StartHost() { Debug.Log("The service is Starting."); var game_object = new InGameMessaging(); var host = new WebServiceHost(game_object, new Uri("http://localhost:9098/AMI/Megatouch")); var ep = host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IInGameMenuMessaging), new WebHttpBinding(), "InGameMenu"); host.Open(); return host;
}
}
WebServiceHost _webhost;
public static service_host host = new service_host(); // Use this for initialization void Start() { _webhost = host.StartHost(); Debug.Log("Host is started"); Debug.Log("_webhost.State is " + _webhost.State.ToString());
}
Have you had any success with this? I'm banging my head against the wall with Unity3d/mono and communicating as named pipes don't work. I'm doing something similar.
Mono is still a disease that should be avoided.
