  How to write map/route for multiple Post

  Mar 26, 2012 05:01 PM|LINK

  Hi I have an API Controller which required multiple POST :

  one for Save/Update :

  public Order PostOrder(Order order)
  {
  
  }

  And, another for Search Order

  public IQueryable<Order> SearchWithParameter(SearchOrderParameter searchParameter)
  {
              
  }

  I have added below Route method in Global.asax

   routes.MapHttpRoute(
                  name: "SearchWithParameter",
                  routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{searchParameter}",
                  defaults: new { action = "post" }
              );

  In Js I am calling it as :

  var SearchOrderParameter = new Object();
      SearchOrderParameter.OrderID = 1197;
      $.ajax({
          url: "http://localhost:9003/api/orders/SearchWithParameter",
          data: SearchOrderParameter,
          type: "Post",
          dataType: "json",
          success: function (value) {
              alert(value);
          },
          error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
              alert(textStatus);
          }
      });

  But everytime this method calls PostOrder. Please guide me, What I am missing, so that it will call SearchWithParameter.

  Thanks

  Andy

  Try removing the {searchParameter} in your template. Is this necessary, I don't see it in your example call.

  "Try removing the {searchParameter} in your template. Is this necessary"

  I tried after remove {searchParameter}...but again it call PostOrder

  "I don't see it in your example call."

  public IQueryable<Order> SearchWithParameter(SearchOrderParameter searchParameter)
  {
             
   }

  above is the place where I am calling searchParameter.

  Can you post your entire OrdersController?

  There must be another route that is being selected. What other routes do you have in your global.asax?

  Below is the code for RouteRegister

  public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
          {
              routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
  
              routes.MapHttpRoute(
                  name: "DefaultApi",
                  routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                  defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
              );
  
              routes.MapRoute(
                  name: "Default",
                  url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
              );
  
              routes.MapHttpRoute(
                  name: "SearchWithParameter",
                  routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{searchParameter}",
                  defaults: new { action = "post" }
              );
  
          }

  To select the correct route, use the following Post request: /api/order/SearchWithParameter/somevalue.

  Currently, it is selecting this route for your request /api/orders/SearchWithParameter/: 

  routes.MapHttpRoute(
                  name: "DefaultApi",
                  routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                  defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
              );

  My suggestion is to remove the "DefaultApi" route in RegsiterRoutes. (I assume you do not have a use for it) And then remove the {searchParameter} value in your route template.  If you do this, you will not have to modify your  javascript and it will route correctly.
