I have a WCF Rest service as per the code snippet below
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate="/SaveList/Foos/",Method="POST")]
bool SaveList(List<Foo> myFoos);
}
The service is a self hosted service and exposes a an endpoint with webHttpBinding. I have a client console application which has the following code snippet:
public void Send()
{
var myObj = new Foo{Id=1, Name="Test"};
using (WebChannelFactory<OurService.Services.IOurService> cf = new WebChannelFactory<IOurService>("WebHttpBinding_IService"))
{
IUtranetService channel = cf.CreateChannel();
using (new OperationContextScope(channel as IContextChannel))
{
var status = channel.SaveList(new[] { myObj });
}
}
}
The client code throws an exception as follows: There was no endpoint listening at "http://localhost:1133/Service/SaveList" that could accept the message.
I am not sure where I am going wrong. If I remove the UriTemplate from the service contract, the client returns back the right response.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your URI template is incorrect. You need to change it to this:
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate="/SaveList/Foos/SaveList",Method="POST")]
It does not automatically append your method name.
Also FYI as per the comment I left, you dont need Method="Post"
