Additionally have you looked how SharePoint services have been configured? @Sheetal: have you tried deploying your custom SVC alongside SharePoint services?

I am currently migrating a site from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 which has custom WCF services. When deploying .wsp file in MOSS 2007 environment it gets deployed at Features directory under 12 hive and works well. Where as when I try to deploy the .wsp file in SharePoint 2010 the WCF doesn't work. The service is working correctly when the .svc is stored directly in the virtual directory of the iis... the problems appear when I deploy the .svc file to the 14. Any idea? I didn't change anything, only put the .svc outside SharePoint to test it, and it works. When I call the .svc file inside SP I get this error: Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Apart from that when I deploy the .wsp file (its a custom site template ) and create a site, the default webservices also doesn't work (_vti_bin\Lists.asmx , _vti_bin\Listsdata.asmx..etc)... I have verified for the webservices by creating a normal team site and browsed for _vti_bin webservices which works fine. Is that the way WCF behaves differently in SP2010 environment?

Did I misinterpret your context statement? I'm really curious if you have SPContext in your service and I'm just missing something or if SPContext just won't work.

It's been a while since I was working on that, so let me just try: have you tried hosting your WCF service within the path of a SharePoint Web Application? Additionally you could try to use the Feature that I put on CodePlex to get the configuration settings into your web.config. @Tom: that's a good one.

If that is true, how? If it is just a matter of the folder and the compatability option, I'm still doing something wrong. Thanks, Tom Waldek, if I read this correctly, you are able to get SPContext.Current within a .svc. If that is true, how?

Check it out!

I was looking at rolling a custom VirtualPathProvider http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx And hooking it up with HostingEnvironment.RegisterVirtualPathProvider which should allow you to 'chain' your virtual path provider on top of SharePoint's one. Then you can handle VirtualPathProvider's GetDirectory and GetFile and map it back to the root site's _wcf folder. Oh I realized I read the article wrong and made a wrong comment.
