Is it possible to define two operation contracts with the same paramiters? I want to have the same endpoint do diffrent things on post and get. My code is below

 [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
        UriTemplate = "MAC/{input}")]
    string MAC(string input);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
        UriTemplate = "MAC/{input}")]
    Datalayer.Datacontracts.WebserviceMessage MAC(string input);

    With the same name? NO.

    Using same parameters as you have mentioned is possible. But not with the same name.

    Services follow document-centric paradigm; so when designing services, we should get rid of object oriented thinking. Don’t think about polymorphism, overloading or overriding.

    The metadata of the service has to be shared as a document to even non-object oriented systems/platforms (to support interoperability).
