WSDL-first approach: How to specify different names for wsdl:port and wsdl:binding?

Question

I am following WSDL-first (provided by our client) approach for developing WCF service but WSDLs generated from my wcf service is slightly different from WSDL provided to me

You can try to implement IWsdlExportExtension and in ExportEndpoint modify wsdl:port/@name. Then implement IEndpointBehavior which will add your extension to an endpoint. To use your new behavior you have two choices:

• Add behavior from code. When service is hosted in IIS you have to create custom ServiceHost and ServiceHostFactory. In self hosting you can just iterate endpoints and add behavior.
• Add behavior from configuration. You must implement custom BehaviorExtensionElement, register this element and use it in endpointBehaviors related to your endpoint.

Here is simple example with extension element:

using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.ServiceModel.Configuration;
using System.ServiceModel.Description;

namespace CustomWsdlExtension    
{
    public class PortNameWsdlBehavior : IWsdlExportExtension, IEndpointBehavior
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }

        public void ExportContract(WsdlExporter exporter, WsdlContractConversionContext context)
        {
        }

        public void ExportEndpoint(WsdlExporter exporter, WsdlEndpointConversionContext context)
        {
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name))
            {
                context.WsdlPort.Name = Name;
            }
        }

        public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
        {
        }

        public void ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
        {
        }

        public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher)
        {
        }

        public void Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
        {
        }
    }

    public class PortNameWsdlBehaviorExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("name")]
        public string Name
        {
            get 
            { 
                object value = this["name"];
                return value != null ? value.ToString() : string.Empty; 
            }
            set { this["name"] = value; }
        }

        public override Type BehaviorType
        {
            get { return typeof(PortNameWsdlBehavior); }
        }

        protected override object CreateBehavior()
        {
            return new PortNameWsdlBehavior { Name = Name };
        }
    }
}

And configuration:

  <system.serviceModel>
    <extensions>
      <behaviorExtensions>
        <add name="portName" type="CustomWsdlExtension.PortNameWsdlBehaviorExtension, CustomWsdlExtension" />
      </behaviorExtensions>
    </extensions>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="customPortName">
          <portName name="myCustomName" />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <services>
      <service name="CustomWsdlExtension.Service">
        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="CustomWsdlExtension.IService"
                  behaviorConfiguration="customPortName" />
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>

My WSDL then looks like:

<wsdl:service name="Service">
    <wsdl:port name="myCustomName" binding="tns:BasicHttpBinding_IService">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:2366/Service.svc" /> 
    </wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
