WCF Data service, some question

I've two questions on WCF Data service:

-98% of my needs are covered by the WCF Data service, I only need one business methods, is it possible to mix a WCF Data service? Or should I create a second WCF service only for this method?

-Is it possible to host a WCF Data service into an application? I've a server, and I want that this service is accessible only when the server is launched

Thank you very much

You can add service operations to your WCF Data Service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668788.aspx They don't have the same power as true WCF Service operations, but they should fullfil most of your needs in this area (note that they can actually return OData feeds/entries for the client consumption).

You can definitely host WCF Data Service in your own application. The overall description is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668805(VS.100).aspx, but there are bunch of samples around the web, just search for "host WCF Data Service".
