Web API 2.2和OData V4路由约定

Question

I upgraded to OData V4 and I realised the routing conventions have changed. So instead of

http://somesite.com/api/products/1

You would have the following

http://somesite.com/api/products(1)

Now this is fine for new apps going forward, but we need to support the traditional url's for legacy apps. Is there a way to support both url's, or the traditional url for the time being?

If I have the following example

[ODataRoute("{key}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Put([FromODataUri] string key, Dealer dealer)
{
    // some logic code here        
}

I get the following error

The path template '{key}' on the action 'Put' in controller 'Dealers' is not a valid OData path template. Resource not found for the segment '{key}'

Answer 1

If you are switching to OData v4 from an earlier version, there are several breaking changes.. ie for example, v3 clients will not be able to consume the response returned by a v4 service... Hence uri may be the least of your problems..

If you need to support existing clients.. then your only option would be to host two versions of the same service.
