I would like to know how should I create WebInvoke method for POST call in my web service?
With the below prototype I am able to send and receive the soap xml, but not sure whether this right to way to implement?
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
UriTemplate = "",
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
XmlElement Post(Stream xmlData);
Also I have tried using the class object as defined below, but with WCF Test client I could see the soap xml getting generated, but when tried to access this web service from the test application, I get only the xml content for the class object and not seeing any soap header and body elements.
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
UriTemplate = "",
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
DiscoverResponse Discover(Discover request);
where DiscoverResponse is DataContract class for POST response and Discover is the DataContract class for POST request.
What changes do I need to make to above method to get response with entire soap xml instead of only the body xml?
The WebInvoke will never return soap+xml with the WebHttpBinding. It only supports returning either JSON or pure XML. If you want soap-based XML, just call the service on endpoints using either the BasicHttpBinding or the WsHttpBinding. They're both soap-based bindings. You could create two endpoints for the service, one with the WebHttpBinding for standard XML and one with either of the other bindings to get soap+xml.
