I'm having an issue I can't figure out with a WCF service I'm building, where I am getting the error:
"Type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken' is a recursive collection data
contract which is not supported. Consider modifying the definition of
collection 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken' to remove references to
itself"
I know the main solution is to uncheck the option to reuse that Newtonsoft reference in my service references, but I don't have that option listed to uncheck. I confirmed json.net is being referenced properly in my service.
The weird thing is I confirmed I am getting results when I leave this call
public List<T> CallService<T>(string query)
{
var data = new List<T>();
var fullyEscapedUri = _ShopUri.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith("/") ? _ShopUri : new Uri(_ShopUri + "/");
var uri = new Uri(fullyEscapedUri, typeof(T).Name);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(query))
{
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(uri) { Query = query };
uri = uriBuilder.Uri;
}
string url = String.Format("{0}{1}", _ShopUri, query);
var request = WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "GET";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
string base64EncodedUsernameAndPassword = string.Format("{0}:{1}", _Username, _Password);
string authHeader = string.Format("Basic {0}", Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(base64EncodedUsernameAndPassword)));
request.Headers["Authorization"] = authHeader;
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
string json = reader.ReadToEnd();
var jsonObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Auto,
ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver(),
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
}) as JObject;
var jsonArray = jsonObj[_ObjectType] as JArray;
foreach (var jsonEmp in jsonArray)
{
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(jsonEmp.ToString());
data.Add(obj);
}
}
}
}
return data;
}
This method is in a custom class I wrote, so a couple of the variables appear as though they aren't definied - I'd be posted a sh*tton of code. But as you can see, I need this method to dynamically call any Shopify endpoint. In this example, the _ObjectType variable going in the first time is "orders."

I seem to be getting the error msg referenced above when it makes this GetOrders() call from the client:
ProductService.ProductServiceClient productService = new ProductService.ProductServiceClient();
OrderService.OrderServiceClient service = new OrderService.OrderServiceClient();
var orders = service.GetOrders(String.Format("orders.json?created_at_min={0}&created_at_max={1}", min, max));
strong text
I've searched my client app for any and all references to Newtonsoft, but I am not finding anything or any clue that would suggest it's being called "recursively." I've deleted and re-added the service references, same issue.
Both the service and client are v4.6.1.
Any ideas?
Ben
EDIT: I can't trigger the error now for some reason, but when it did happen, I got this as the outer exception, followed by just the main error message with the inner exception:

System.Runtime.Serialization.InvalidDataContractException,
System.Runtime.Serialization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken' is a recursive collection data
contract which is not supported. Consider modifying the definition of
collection 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken' to remove references to
itself.
Here is the entry point of my service:
public class OrderService : IOrderService
{
public ReturnContract GetOffset()
{
return new ReturnContract { Offset = new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now) };
}
//non-async calls
public List<Order> GetOrders(string query)
{
OrderData orders = new OrderData(query);
return orders.CallOrders();
}
[DataContract]
[KnownType(typeof(DateTimeOffset))]
public class ReturnContract
{
[DataMember]
public DateTimeOffset? Offset { get; set; }
}
public CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract(CompositeType composite)
{
if (composite == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("composite");
}
if (composite.BoolValue)
{
composite.StringValue += "Suffix";
}
return composite;
}
}
CallOrders() implementation and CallService<T> method that shows type Order going into the method:
internal class OrderData
{
private string _shopifyStore = Global.EcomShop;
private string _apiKey = Global.EcomShopAPIKey;
private string _apiPassword = Global.EcomShopAPIPassword;
private string _query;
internal OrderData(string query)
{
_query = query;
}
internal List<Order> CallOrders()
{
var orderService = new ShopifyService(_shopifyStore, _apiKey, _apiPassword, "orders");
var orders = orderService.CallService<Order>(_query);
return orders;
}
}
Well, in this case it turned out to be a JSON deserialization issue. When this has happened in the past, I've received the "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I thought this was weird since I did see Shopify objects coming back from the service.
I have task to make AbsenceDTO with two properties DateFrom and DateTO where the Domain Absence can be a single day with three properties Day, Month and Year. Bellow is the code sample:
public class Absence
{
#region Properties
/// <summary>
/// A unique id
/// </summary>
public int Id { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Day of the absence
/// </summary>
public int Day { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Month of the absence
/// </summary>
public int Month { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Year of the absence
/// </summary>
public int Year { get; set; }
}
public class AbsenceDTO
{
private List<Absence> absences = null;
public AbsenceDTO()
{
}
public AbsenceDTO(List<Absence> absences)
{
this.absences = absences;
}
public DateTime DateFrom
{
get
{
return //TO DO
}
}
public DateTime DateTO
{
get
{
return //TO DO
}
}
}
So here how should I calculate DTO Date properties and what should be the best pattern/practice in making mapper/converter?
I've read a lot abuot storing images with attatchments. But I wonder what's the right way is to store image-INFO in ravenDb. So I then can use the info and get the image from some online-storage.
I think i need the path.. maybe, with, height and so on... So what is the right way of doing this in the raven dbDocument.
Without knowing more about your requirements my basic answer is something like:
public class Image

public string FileName { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the physical location of the Image

public string Location {get; set;}
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the size of the file.
/// </summary>
public long FileSize { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the MIME type of the file.
/// </summary>
public string MimeType { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the Width, in pixels, of the Image
/// </summary>
public int Width { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the Height, in pixels, of the Image
/// </summary>
public int Height { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the thumbnails.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The thumbnails.
/// </value>
public ICollection<Thumbnail> Thumbnails { get; protected set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the last Thumbnail id.
/// </summary>
public int LastThumbnailId { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Generates the new Thumbnail id.
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public int GenerateNewThumbnailId()
{
return ++LastThumbnailId;
}
}
public class Thumbnail
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the Thumbnail id.
/// </summary>
public int Id { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the Width, in pixels, of the Thumbnail
/// </summary>
public int Width { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the Height, in pixels, of the Thumbnail
/// </summary>
public int Height { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the physical location of the Thumbnail

public string Location {get; set;}
}

Unit test (calls the query code)
using (var session = Common.DocumentStore.OpenSession())
{
var routeService = new RouteService(session);
var newRoute = new Route
{
Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
DateTime = DateTime.Now,
UserId = "user",
Source = new Address { Name = "101 W. 79th St. NY, NY", Location = new Location { Latitude = 32, Longitude = 72 } },
Destination = new Address { Name = "101 W. 79th St. NY, NY", Location = new Location { Latitude = 32, Longitude = 72 } }
};
routeService.Save(newRoute);
var routes = routeService.Search(newRoute);
Assert.IsTrue(routes.Any());
}
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Seems like it should be pretty straightforward...
Thanks
In your code you have routeService.Save(newRoute);, I'm used to seeing session.Store(newRoute); then session.SaveChanges();
Things don't get written to the database until you call session.SaveChanges();
But you need to give ravenDB time to index the changes. I suggest to use the "wait for non stale results", I don't remember the code for that right now but if you google ravendb non-stale results.
I have these entities and models:
ENTITIES:
public class BlogPost {
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Keyword> Keywords { get; set; }
public virtual IList<BlogComment> Comments { get; set; }
}
public class BlogComment {
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual BlogPost Post { get; set; }
}
public class Keyword {
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual IList<BlogPost> BlogPosts { get; set; }
}
VIEW-MODELS:
public class BlogPostModel {
public int Id { get; set; }
// instead of IList<BlogComment> I have this:
public int CommentsCount { get; set; }
public IList<KeywordModel> Keywords { get; set; }
}
public class KeywordModel {
public int Id { get; set; }
public IList<BlogPostModel> Posts { get; set; }
}
public class BlogCommentModel {
public int Id { get; set; }
public BlogPostModel Post { get; set; }
}
Now I want to load a paged-list of blog-posts with their keywords and comments count and map them by AutoMapper library to a IPagedList<BlogPostModel>. Can you help me please? I'm using the Mvc IPagedList available at nuget:
public interface IPagedList<out T> : IPagedList, IEnumerable<T> {
T this[int index] { get; }
int Count { get; }
IPagedList GetMetaData();
}
public interface IPagedList {
int PageCount { get; }
int TotalItemCount { get; }
int PageNumber { get; }
int PageSize { get; }
bool HasPreviousPage { get; }
bool HasNextPage { get; }
bool IsFirstPage { get; }
bool IsLastPage { get; }
int FirstItemOnPage { get; }
int LastItemOnPage { get; }
}
I test many ways and googled the issue, but I can't find any solution. Thanks for any suggestion.
I had the same problem, and found the way how to fix it, probably this approach will help you too.
