RIA Services Domain Service Class web.config setting

Question

I've added a domain service class to the server side project of my SL4 / EF / RIA Services application. I've managed to create all the necessary elements needed in my web.config section. (Btw, why isn't this generated for me when I created my Domain Service Class?)

What I'm missing now is what to put in the contract attribute of my endpoint element:

<service behaviorConfiguration="XXX.Web.RIAServices.MyServiceBehavior" name="XXX.Web.RIAServices.MyService">
    <endpoint address="http://localhost:6400/ClientBin/XXX-Web-RIAServices-MyService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="LargeData" contract="???">
      <identity>
      </identity>
    </endpoint>
  </service>

I would think it should be something like XXX.Web.RIAServices.IMyService but that interface does not exist in my generated code.

What do I put in the contract attribute?

Btw the whole reason and had to touch the web.config at all for this service was to increase the maxItemsInObjectGraph on the service behavior. Might there be a way to increase/set this without having to set it in the web.config? I had to manually add all the web.config elements for my service so if I can avoid that, that would be great too. — Brent Lamborn

Just for those out there who may use this as a way to config their DomainService with additional settings, here is how you would increase the ObjectGraph to allow WCF RIA Services to marshal more than the default # of objects during an operation:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <services>
      <service name="ProjectName.Web.Services.YourDomainService" behaviorConfiguration="ProjectName-Web-Services-YourDomainService"></service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ProjectName-Web-Services-YourDomainService">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
          <!-- Increase ObjectGraph for larger results -->
          <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="655360" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
