I have a model like
public class User
{
[Key]
public long UserId { get; set; }
[Required]
public String Nickname { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Group> Memberships { get; set; }
}
public class Group
{
[Key]
public long GroupId { get; set; }
[Required]
public String Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<User> Members { get; set; }
}
public class DataContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
public DbSet<Group> Groups { get; set; }
public DataContext()
{
Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
.HasMany(u => u.Memberships)
.WithMany(t => t.Members)
.Map(x =>
{
x.MapLeftKey("UserId");
x.MapRightKey("GroupId");
x.ToTable("GroupMembers");
});
}
}
All goes fine when accessing the entities using a test console application, but I need to have this through a WCF service, here I got this exception:
Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible; the client-side configuration does not match the proxy; the existing proxy is invalid. Refer to the stack trace for more detail. You can try to recover by starting a new proxy, restoring to default configuration, or refreshing the service
The only way I found to have this working is, removing the navigator in one of the entities, because having the navigators in both sides causes a infinite looping.
Is there a way to have this working without removing the navigators?
