Hi experts,

I am learning WCF basics now, and i tried a sample REST WCF application. When i run and tried to invoke the method it shows method not allowed.
When i ran my service, it ran with the url

http://localhost:13493/WCFRestService.svc[^]

and when i invoke the method by editing the url
http://localhost:13493/WCFRestService.svc/JSONData/mani[^]
it displays as Method not allowed.

the code i am using is
Interface

C#

[ServiceContract]
   public interface IWCFRestService
   {
       [OperationContract]
       [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
        UriTemplate = "/JSONData/{id}")]
       string JSONData(string id);
   }

Class that inherited the interface

C#

public class WCFRestService : IWCFRestService
   {
       public string JSONData(string id)
       {
           return "requested number  " + id;
       }
   }

and web.config file has

XML

<system.serviceModel>
        <services>
            <service behaviorConfiguration="WCFRestService.WCFRestServiceBehavior" name="WCFRestService.WCFRestService">
                <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="webHttp" contract="WCFRestService.IWCFRestService">
                    <identity>
                        <dns value="192.168.100.75"/>
                    </identity>
                </endpoint>
                <endpoint name="mexHttpBinding" address="mex"  binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://192.168.100.75/WCFService"/>
          </baseAddresses>

        </host>
            </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="WCFRestService.WCFRestServiceBehavior">
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
                    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
                </behavior>
            </serviceBehaviors>
            <endpointBehaviors>
                <behavior name="webHttp">
                    <webHttp/>
                </behavior>
            </endpointBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>

I believe, and I'm not posting this as a solution because I'm not sure, but you are setting the WebInvoke method to "POST", if you are typing in a web browser I believe it is using "GET" not "POST" to get the page. Try changing that to "GET" instead of post...

I solved my problem with the help from Ron Beyer

C#

public interface IWCFRestService
   {
       [OperationContract]
       [WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
        UriTemplate = "/JSONData/{id}")]
       string JSONData(string id);
   }

It must be GET instead of POST.
SO its working fine and service has invoked.
