WebAPI PUT和POST转到404

Question

I'm trying to use AJAX to PUT this object to the /api/company/#/:

    {"CompanyID":2,"Name":"Test Company","Address1":"","Address2":"","City":"","State":"","Zip":"","ContactName":"","ContactPhone":"","ContactEmail":"","EmployeeCount":"","TypeOfIndustry":"","CompanyRevenue":""}

My PUT method:

    public void Put (CompanyOverviewView company)
    {
    }

CompanyOverviewView:

public class CompanyOverviewView {
    public int CompanyID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Address1 { get; set; }
    public string Address2 { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string Zip { get; set; }
    public string ContactName { get; set; }
    public string ContactPhone { get; set; }
    public string ContactEmail { get; set; }
    public string CompanyType { get; set; }
    public Nullable<int> EmployeeCount { get; set; }
    public string TypeOfIndustry { get; set; }
    public Nullable<decimal> CompanyRevenue { get; set; }

AJAX Properties:

var ajaxProperties = {
        type: "PUT",
    url: "/api/company/5/",
    dataType: "json",
    data: JSON.stringify(postdata)
    }

I am getting a 404 error, though using the default WebAPI routing. Why would this not hook up? Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Try adding processData: false and contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8' contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8' to your ajaxProperties . This will tell ajax to send the request as a JSON body instead of URL parameters.

Answer 2

It could be that you are adding the Id in the URL when you don't need to. Try posting/putting to just /api/company in the ajax. Or alternatively just try 'string id' as another param in your Put method and see if that helps.

You also might need to put FromBody or FromUri Attributes on the each of the arguments in this case though.
