I've been tasked with connecting SharePoint 2013 with our existing WCF services in order to show lists of external business items pertaining to the SP user. Unfortunately for this task, the WCF services do not have methods that conform to the signatures needed create a WCF connector out of the box, so I've set out to create a .Net assembly connector to act as a wrapper to these WCF services. The .Net assembly connector works with hard-coded values to create and display an external list. Great, concept understood and working! Now it's time to call a WCF service to retrieve a list (say, of companies). Knowing an endpoint must be defined in a webconfig (presumingly the SharePoint webconfig), I’ve created a supplemental webconfig file ("webconfig.*.xml") and deployed it to the CONFIG mapped folder from my VS SP project along with my BCD Model. Now when I attempt to render the list, it cannot resolve the type referenced by my .Net assembly code. Something along the lines of "endpoint not found".
Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished? Or am I going about this all wrong. I had hoped the .Net assembly would serve as a wrapper to the existing, non-conforming WCF services.
Any contributing responses are appreciated.
