I have some knowledge on using WCF, but I don't know how to construct it and be able to receive data from HTML-POST.
Inside my sample Html is this:
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="#">
Name: <input type="text" id="txtName" value="" /><br />
Age: <input type="text" id="txtAge" value="" /><br />
Address:<input type="text" id="txtAddress" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
</body
</html>
And inside my WCF is:
namespace WCF
{
[ServiceContract]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class User
{
WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "POST")]
public DataFromHTMLPost(UserData instance)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
}
Can anyone give some suggestion on how could I pass the data from HTML-POST to webservice?
Or give me some links as reference. Thanks a lot!
You will need to grab the data from code behind and then pass it through to the web service.
You can either add runat="server" to each of those input fields and get the data directly by going
txtName.Text
or you can get all the posted data by
NameValueCollection nvc = Request.Form;
String name = nvc["txtName"];
Then just call the web service which I would assume you have added as a Service Reference in your project?
UPDATE (Since learning its a PHP client accessing .NET WCF)
For getting post data do this:
$item = $_POST['item'];
item is the name of the input field.
PHP code to connect to WCF (using JSON)
/**
* @param $service name of JSON service to call
* @return string url in string
*/
function request_Url( $service )
{
return 'http://api.domain.com/api.svc'.'/'.$service
}
/**
*
* @return array|false Contest List or false on failure
*/
function get_contestList() {
$jsonStr = json_decode(file_get_contents($this->request_Url('MethodName')), TRUE);
return $jsonStr;
}
In the WCF you will need to change your method signatures to
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "/MethodName")]
public String MethodName()
{
}
