Following is interface definition.
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "FacebookData/?accessToken={accessToken}")]
OperationResult<FacebookData> GetFacebookData(string accessToken);
The return type is OperationResult<FacebookData>
, it is a generic type
Then i will get xml like following...
OperationResultOfFacebookDataNcCATIYq xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
How can I remove namespace and rename xml element as "OperationResult"
By the way, I already set Namespace is empty
[DataContract(Namespace = "")]
public class OperationResult<T>
but I think generic type will generate class by every T.
You can do [DataContract(Name = "OperationResult")]
but really the generics conceptually don't mix will with the idea of RESTful services.
I'd suggest creating a new class like class FacebookOperationResult : OperationResult<FacebookData> {}
and then use that as your return type.
One way to make that happen is to implement IDispatchMessageInspector
- this allows to inspect and modify any request/reply content anyway you want/need...
to remove the xmlns you need to create your own serializer to bypass the serialization that is done by WCF.
Interface:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "ProcessMessage")]
AResponse ProcessMessage(ARequest content);
}
Service:
//change the behavior to one that suits you
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class Service : IService
{
public AResponse ProcessMessage(ARequest content)
{
//todo
}
}
Here comes the most important:
[XmlRoot("My_Root", Namespace = "")]
ARequest : IXmlSerializable
{
public string PropertyA { get; set; }
public System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema GetSchema()
{
return (null);
}
public void ReadXml(System.Xml.XmlReader reader)
{
if (!reader.IsEmptyElement)
{
reader.ReadStartElement();
PropertyA = reader.ReadElementString("PropertyA");
reader.ReadEndElement();
}
}
public void WriteXml(System.Xml.XmlWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteElementString("PropertyA", PropertyA);
}
}
