I've been working on getting a RESTful WCF service to both accept a JSON as a parameter and return some JSON.
This is my service:
[OperationContract] [WebInvoke( Method="POST", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "Authenticate")] public AuthResponse Authenticate(AuthRequest data) { AuthResponse res = new AuthResponse(); if (data != null) { Debug.WriteLine(data.TokenId); res.TokenId = new Guid(data.TokenId); } return res; }
The above will set data to be null when I pass { AuthRequest: { TokenId = "some guid"} }.
If I set the BodyStyle of the method to be Bare then data is set correctly but I must remove { AuthRequest } from the JSON (which I don't really want to do). Is there any way to get WrappedRequests to work with { AuthRequest: { TokenId = "some guid"} as the JSON?
Thanks.
The name of the wrapper is not the parameter type, but the parameter name. If you send it as {"data":{"TokenId":"some guid"}}
it should work.
Or if you want to use some name other than the parameter name, you can use the [MessageParameter]
attribute:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(
Method="POST",
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "Authenticate")]
public AuthResponse Authenticate([MessageParameter(Name = "AuthRequest")] AuthRequest data)
