Custom Web Service for SharePoint

[Christopher Stratmann]

I am trying to write a custom web service that is in its own web application that also has its own application pool. When trying to open the site collection using SPSite site = new SPSite("https://www.abc.com"), I get the following error message: (System.IO.FileNotFoundException = The Web application at https://www.abc.com could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.). Now if I change the application pool to the SharePoint application pool everything works just great. There is a different identity on my new application pool, but I have verified that this identity has access to the site collection. Also, I am running the code within an SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges block.

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
{
using (var site = new SPSite("https://www.abc.com"))
{
using (var web = site.OpenWeb("/Test"))
{
...
}
}
});

Does anyone have any suggestions? If this is not possible could you point me to an msdn article that states it is not possible? Thanks,

Chris

Are you using SharePoint 2010 by any chance? If so you need to build the code as x64.

No this is a SharePoint 2007 environment.

I would still look at it just to make sure. The error is what happens when attempting to access a 64bit SharePoint from 32bit code.
