Remarks

The ServiceName should always be "EntityService" when the application server is hosted by either the supplied console or Windows service DevForce applications. When hosted by IIS or WAS, the ServiceName should contain both the virtual directory and the service file names. The service file name will usually be "EntityService.svc".

The final endpoint address is formed is formed from the RemoteBaseUrl, ServerPort and ServiceName properties. RemoteBaseUrl:ServerPort%P:IdeaBlade.Core.Configuration.ServiceKeyElement.ServiceName%. For example, if the endpoint address is http://localhost:9009/myapp/EntityService.svc, then the ServiceName would be "myapp/EntityService.svc".

The ServiceName, RemoteBaseUrl and ServerPort values are ignored by the application server when hosted by IIS. These values are also not requred when endpoint configuration information can be obtained from the system.serviceModel section of the client's configuration file.
