WCF - WebInvoke POST - object parameter - wcf

Question

I have the following WCF REST web service interface :
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(
UriTemplate = "foobar/",
Method = "POST",
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare),
]
void PostFoobar(Foobar foobar);
}
The implementation :
public class Service : IService
{
public void PostFoobar(Foobar foobar)
{
try
{
Log.MonitoringLogger.Info("foo" + foobar.foo);
Log.MonitoringLogger.Info("bar" + foobar.bar);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (Log.ExceptionLogger.IsErrorEnabled) Log.ExceptionLogger.Error(ex);
}
}
}
My Foobar class:
[DataContract]
public class Foobar
{
[DataMember]
public string foo { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string bar { get; set; }
}
But it seems my Foobar object in parameter is always NULL when I call it from a client. I tried to implement the following method :
void PostFoobar(String foo, String bar);
And this time it works ! So my question is : Why, when I send a JSON Foobar object, it does not deserialized it ?
Here is a capture made with Wireshark to see if my client sent really the JSON object I expected :
So it seems the client send the object as expected : { "foo": "foo text", "bar": "bar text" }

Answer 1

I found something interesting: It works with the chrome plugin Simple REST client. I sent the json data:
{ "foo": "foo text", "bar" : "bar text" }
and it has worked.
So I have analysed the logs of my IIS server, and I found a difference : No element is catched from my client. The following object (in the logs)
<root type="object" xmlns="">
<foo type="string">foo chrome</foo>
<bar type="string">bar chrome</bar>
</root>
Appears only when I call my service from the chrome client.
