HttpContext in WCF service?

Hi,

I'm moving webhosting provider. There are somethings I need to get accustomed to.

I've setup a .svc service, in a webapplication (IIS6.0/W2003). I've finally achieved that a function is executed, this function reads a file. The function now comes into the catch block:

catch (Exception e)
{
logger.ErrorException("function Error", e);
logger.Error(String.Format("context: {0}", HttpContext.Current));
logger.Error(String.Format("server: {0}", HttpContext.Current.Server));
logger.Error(String.Format("file: {0}", HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(fileName)));
}

and this is the contents of the logfile:
2010-02-03 12:24:36.6747|ERROR|function Error
2010-02-03 12:24:36.6903|ERROR|context:

So appearantly, HttpContext.Current is null. There is no web context. Anyone any ideas?

 

This is what I've found:

What to do now?

Seems that "HostingEnvironment.Mappath" (which I was searching for) is the equivalent. For other operations use OperationContext.Current. Okay.

 

Appearantly, you use "OperationContext.Current" instead in WCF. To use Mappath, use "HostingEnvironment.Mappath".
