从REST客户端向WCF服务发布请求

Question

In my current project, I am sending a POST request to a WCF service. But, I am getting empty response. I have tried to use the similar post on stackoverflow : POST1 and [POST2][2] , but I could not solve the problem. My WCF service code is as follows:

namespace RestfulWCFService 
{

  [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method="GET", ResponseFormat= WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate="xml/?firstname={firstname}&lastname={lastname}")]
    string SayHelloXml(string firstname, string lastname);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "json/{name}")]
    string SayHelloJson(string name);



    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IRestfulTestService 
    {

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
            UriTemplate = "/data")]
        string SayHelloJSONPOSTRequest(string jsonRequestString);

    }   
} 

The implementation of the interface is as follows:

namespace RestfulWCFService
{

       string IRestfulTestService.SayHelloXml(string firstname, string lastname)
    {
        return "Hello  " + firstname + " " +  lastname;
    }

    string IRestfulTestService.SayHelloJson(string name)
    {
        return "Hello  " + name;
    }


    public class RestfulTestService : IRestfulTestService
    {
      string IRestfulTestService.SayHelloJSONPOSTRequest(string jsonRequestString)
        {
            return "Hello  " + jsonRequestString; 
        }

    }
}

Now, from a REST client, my request is as follow:

 http://localhost/RestfulWCFService/RestfulTestService.svc/data 

and the Content-Type:application/json and payload is {"firstname":"Pankesh"} . I am getting no response from WCF.

For your reference, I am attaching the screenshot of my client.

Answer 1

In the interface you use:

string SayHelloJSONPOSTRequest(string jsonRequestString);

But in the implementation of the interface you use:

string IRestfulTestService.SayHelloJSONPOSTRequest(string jsonString)

One mistake could be the different naming of the json-String-parameter.

EDITS:

Firstly try to set content-length in the raw headers in the tool you use above.

Another possible mistake is tha the variable you use in the return statement is not the same as the parameter you given to the method.

string IRestfulTestService.SayHelloJSONPOSTRequest(string jsonRequestString)
{
     return "Hello  " + jsonString; 
}

Answer 2

It's probably because you set BodyStyle to WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped .

When you use Wrapped you should post your data as:

{"jsonRequestString":{"firstname":"Pankesh"}}

Alternatively you can change it to WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare , and send it as:

{"firstname":"Pankesh"}
