We are using DevForce 6.1.4 witha Silverlight application.  It works fine locally, but when we deploy it to another machine running IIS, I we were getting an error message stating there is no endpoint listening on http://encore-dev1/EncorePOS/EntityService.svc/sl - http://web-dev/TestApp/EntityService.svc/sl  that could accept calls from this application.  We added the ideablade.configuration to the web.config and that problem when away, but now we get the following error.

The Login could not be completed because the server did not respond.  Check 
that the server is available and contains a clientApplicationType='Silverlight' 
configuration setting.

This is our web.config
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Hi Mike,
 
Are you using a Code First model?  I'm wondering if the licensing information isn't being found, thus making the EntityServer think that Silverlight isn't supported.  The debuglog.xml file in the log folder should have tracing information which will indicate both the license it found and the endpoints it started.

Yes, we are using Code First.  I also looked at the debuglog.xml file and you are correct, it is a license problem:
 
Caught exception: IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeLicenseException: This product is not registered or the key may no longer be valid.
 
I thought the Ideablade could be used for up to 10 entities without a license.
 
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, the Express license allows for use with small models under 10 entities. 
 
License information is actually stored inside the generated ibmmx file, which should be embedded in an assembly (on both client and server).  Since the problem is occurring on the server, is it possible that either this assembly wasn't deployed, or is being excluded from probing (via CompositionHost patterns)?  The debug log will also indicate this - telling you which assemblies it found during probing.  The assembly with the ibmmx should be in the probing list.

According to the log, it looks like it's looking for the license in EntityModel.dll (which it can't find) instead of EntityModel.dll.SL

Here is the error from the log:
<entry id="2" timestamp="2011-12-15T15:25:08" username="" source="IdeaBlade.Core.Composition.PartsCatalog:LoadCatalog">Error loading assembly 'C:\Webs\TestApp\bin\EntityModel.dll' for PartsCatalog: File IdeaBlade.Aop, Version=6.1.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=287b5094865421c0 not found.</entry>

The ibmmx file is embedded in both a client and server assembly, so on the server EntityModel.dll would be the one to contain the file.  You'll also need to deploy that IdeaBlade.Aop assembly, and PostSharp.dll, along with the usual IdeaBlade.* assemblies.

Thanks for your help!  It looks like we were missing the reference to IdeaBlade.Aop.  I added that reference to our Web project and everything is working. 

 
Thanks,
Mike

Great!  Our Code First documentation is still a work in progress, so I think we may have overlooked some of these deployment details.
