I have created a REST service in ServiceStack, but when I call it with the REST URL, it doesn't deserialize the JSON I post the service into my request object. If I use the default URL or supply the parameters in the query string it works fine.

My request object:

[Route("/myservice", "POST")]
public class MyRequestObject
{
    public string MyString { get; set; }
    public int MyInt { get; set; }
}

My Service:

public class MyService : Service
{
    public object Post(MyRequestObject request)
    {
        return new
            {
                MyString = request.MyString,
                MyInt = request.MyInt
            };
    }
}

And the json I post to the service:

{"myString": "abc", "myint": 42}

My REST URL is /api/myservice and the default URL is /api/json/asynconeway/MyRequestObject. I have verified that the service get's called with both the REST and default URL.

Thanks a bunch for your input.

  • You're not trying to make a GET request right? How are you POST'ing to it? does it work when you remove the "POST" verb? Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 9:47
  • No I am making a POST. I've tried via jQuery and Dev HTTP Client for Chrome - both works fine with the default URL. Does not work without the POST verb either. Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 9:54
  • It should work, but there's not enough information to determine the root cause. Ideally we'd want a stand-alone failing test at github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/issues - but if you supply your Request / Response HTTP Headers (success + failure) that might show the issue Commented Oct 1, 2012 at 10:25

    No haven't found out yet (other than using the default urls). Commented Jan 9, 2013 at 8:17

The issue could be in the code that makes the POST. Is the data json stringified, e.g.: 

JSON.stringify({"myString": "abc", "myint": 42})
