Don’t feel desperate if you walk into some exception message like this:
“An error occurred while trying to make a request to URI ‘http://localhost:1528/MyService.svc’. This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place, or a policy that is unsuitable for SOAP services. You may need to contact the owner of the service to publish a …….. etc. etc. etc.”
Just paste the following into an XML (name it: ‘clientaccesspolicy.xml’ ) located in the root of your service application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<access-policy>
<cross-domain-access>
<policy>
<allow-from http-request-headers="*">
<domain uri="*"/>
</allow-from>
<grant-to>
<resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
</grant-to>
</policy>
</cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>
In fact you can do more with policies on crossdomain-issues. Please read:
