Question

I have a WebInvoke method like this;

[OperationContract]

    [WebInvoke(

        Method = "POST",
        UriTemplate = "/go",
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml

    )]       
    string go(string name);

and I post the data like this;

System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();

        string reply = client.UploadString(
            "http://localhost/HelloService/Service.svc/go",
            "POST",
            aString);

The question is how can I take the data from posted message in go() method without using a uri template like this;

UriTemplate = "/go({name})"

Because I want to sent large amount of data and I cannot sent it in uri template

Answer 1

Here is the solution;

[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
Method = "POST",
UriTemplate="/go"
)]  
string MyWebServiceMethod(string name);

and HTTP POST request is;

POST /go Modify HTTPS/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: WebserviceURL
Content-Length: length

{"name":"someName"}
