I have created a WCF service using following template:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/fbc7e5c1-a0d2-41bd-9d7b-e54c845394cd
This service has a method like this:
[ServiceContract]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class RecordingCompleted
{
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "POST")]
public string ProcessCall(string JsonData)
{
}
}
I have hosted this service on IIS and url of the method is:
http://[local] host/Notifications/RecordingCompleted/
When I type this address in address bar, I get:
Method not allowed. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service.
I am trying consume this web service using following code:
string serviceBaseUrl = "http://[local] host/Notifications/RecordingCompleted/";
string resourceUrl = "";
string method = "POST";
//string jsonText = "}";
UseHttpWebApproach(serviceBaseUrl, resourceUrl, method, jsonText);
and the methods are:
private string UseHttpWebApproach(string serviceUrl, string resourceUrl, string method, string requestBody)
{
string responseMessage = null;
var request = WebRequest.Create(string.Concat(serviceUrl, resourceUrl)) as HttpWebRequest;
if (request != null)
{
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = method;
}
//var objContent = HttpContentExtensions.CreateDataContract(requestBody);
if (method == "POST" && requestBody != null)
{
byte[] requestBodyBytes = ToByteArrayUsingJsonContractSer(requestBody);
request.ContentLength = requestBodyBytes.Length;
using (Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream())
postStream.Write(requestBodyBytes, 0, requestBodyBytes.Length);
}
if (request != null)
{
var response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
if (responseStream != null)
{
var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
responseMessage = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
else
{
responseMessage = response.StatusDescription;
}
}
return responseMessage;
}
private static byte[] ToByteArrayUsingJsonContractSer(string requestBody)
{
byte[] bytes = null;
var serializer1 = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(string));
var ms1 = new MemoryStream();
serializer1.WriteObject(ms1, requestBody);
ms1.Position = 0;
var reader = new StreamReader(ms1);
bytes = ms1.ToArray();
return bytes;
}
I am trying to debug the service method but I dont know how to do it. Please suggest me why I am getting error when I type http://[local] host/Notifications/RecordingCompleted/ in address bar. And how to debug the service which is hosted on local host ?
