I have created a WCF REST service within that i created Get method and POST method

[OperationContract]

[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/GetOrderDetails/{OrderID}",

RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,

ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]

OrderContract GetOrderDetails(string OrderID);

[OperationContract]

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/PlaceOrder2",

RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,

ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, Method = "POST")]

bool PlaceOrder2(string order);

i am able to call the GET method, but i am not able to call the POST method i am getting Error as

Method not allowed

i tried like : http://localhost:51094/OrderService.svc/PlaceOrder2/54

Please let me know two thing:

1. where i am wrong ?

2. How to pass resolve that error.

3. how to pass complex object as json and call the method.

Thanks

Hi Arvind,
As per my understanding, you cannot directly browse an HTTP Post method of WCF in browser. You need to POST it like you have done below using C# or through jquery AJAX and you will get the result.

still error withttp://localhost:51094/OrderService.svc/PlaceOrder2/ got end point not found
but if i tried it by c# code its working fine.
using below code:
OrderContract order = new OrderContract
{
OrderID = "10550",
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.ToString(),
ShippedDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10).ToString(),
ShipCountry = "India",
OrderTotal = "781"
};
string json = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(order);
string data = json;
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Headers["Content-type"] = "application/json";
webClient.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
var ss= webClient.UploadString("http://localhost:51094/OrderService.svc/PlaceOrder2", "POST", data);
Console.WriteLine("Order placed successfully...");
able to call POST method.
Thanks

From your Code http://localhost:51094/OrderService.svc/PlaceOrder2/54
As your are trying select individual resource just try this
ttp://localhost:51094/OrderService.svc/PlaceOrder2/
