Solution: 

This solution worked for me, but I'm not sure if it works for every one.

1. Goto IIS Manager
2. Click on application pools
3. Select MicosoftDynamicsAXAif60
4. Right click  and select Basic Settings.
5. In the Edit application pool form select .NET CLR version
6. From the drop-down select V2.0xxxx
7. Now start the Application pool.
8. Now goto AX and try to deploy the AIF service.
9. Now change the .NET CLR version back to V4.0xxxx

It has worked for me and hope will work for you also, let me know in the comments.

Hope this will solve the issue.

Item Service in AX 2012- This document does not support the AxEcoResProductIdentifier class or AxEcoResProductCategory class

Item Service in AX 2012- This document does not support the AxEcoResProductIdentifier class or AxEcoResProductCategory class

This is just my reference, thanks to original post 

In AX 2012's Item service as part of creating an Item/Product through AIF Service if you try to populate entities EcoResProductIdentifier, EcoResProductCategory you may receive these errors: 

This document does not support the AxEcoResProductIdentifier class 
or 
This document does not support the AxEcoResProductCategory class 

You may very well receive these errors after going through the AIF wizard and regenerating the Item Service (InventTable and EcoResProduct), the reason being wizard doesn't generate some code related to all the Tables involved in the AxdQuery.

To fix this, I had to add following code in class -> AxdEcoResProduct-> prepareForSave()

       case classNum(AXEcoResProductIdentifier):
            axecoResProductIdentifier   = _axdStack.top() as AxEcoResProductIdentifier;
            axEcoResProduct             = axecoResProductIdentifier.parentAxBC() as AxEcoResProduct;
            axecoResProductIdentifier.parmProduct(axEcoResProduct.parmRecId());
            return true;       
        
        case classNum(AxEcoResProductCategory):
            axEcoResProductCategory     = _axdStack.top() as AxEcoResProductCategory;
            axEcoResProduct             = axEcoResProductCategory.parentAxBC() as AxEcoResProduct;
            axEcoResProductCategory.parmProduct(axEcoResProduct.parmRecId());
            return true;
