Dynamic Web API HTTP Request Attributes not working #341

paulbackhouse created 9 years ago

Hi,

By default all methods are HTTP POST (no problem with this) but I would control over setting methods which should be HTTPGET, HTTPDELETE etc...

I have read you documentation here: [http://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Dynamic-Web-API]) and followed it. I specifically want to use the interface approach where I can define the attributes on the methods I want to have different HTTP Request methods.

However, it does not work, the calls are always being set to POST.

I then tried changing the naming convension during the initialisation of the dynamic controller api using WithConventionalVerbs but this method isn't even available to me, it it not my preferred route either.

I then tried manually setting the verb against the method in the dynamic controller (which I really don't want to have to do) using this code:

DynamicApiControllerBuilder
    .For<IClientService>("app/ClientService")
    .ForMethod("Get").WithVerb(HttpVerb.Get)
    .Build();

Again, no joy.

So....then I thought, fine, I will live for post until I can find a solution here (i.e. post here) BUT my method is:

public ClientDTO Get(long id) { ... }

This doesn't work in POST when the expected parameter type is anything other than an object - even though the value being passed is 7 and you can direct cast to long once in the method... I am very confused - this cannot be default behaviour can it?

What am I missing here, please help, frustrated and struggling - it is far easier in WebAPIControllers :s

Regards

Paul
