Is there a way to remove the "/json/reply/" section of the url?

I would like the URL for a request to be /AmazingRequest (or even /AmazingService) instead of /json/reply/AmazingRequest.

I've tried the Route attribute, but it seems to have no effect. Is it possible within ServiceStack, or would I have to resort to URL rewriting?

This is what I've tried. It compiles, but the attribute has no effect.

public class MyServiceEndpoints : IService
{
    [Route("/AmazingService")]
    public AmazingResponse Post(AmazingRequest request)
    {
        return new Amazing(request).GetResponse();
    }
}

I realize I would need to tell ServiceStack that it is a json request, but I'm fine with adding the Accept and Content-Type headers or maybe even a ?format=json to the query string.

P.S. I'm using the BSD version of ServiceStack

Solution

  • In ServiceStack Routes are defined on the Request DTO as it's part of your Service Contract, e.g:

    [Route("/AmazingService")]
public class AmazingRequest { ... }

    The pre-defined Route you're using is because ServiceStack doesn't think there's any custom route defined for your Service and just uses the default one.

    The alternative way for declaring your Routes is to use the Fluent Registration API in your AppHost, e.g:

    public void Configure(Container container)
{
    Routes
      .Add<AmazingRequest>("/AmazingService");
}

    But the benefit of defining them on the Request DTO's is that your .NET Service Clients will also have access to them and will be able to use your custom routes instead of falling back to the pre-defined routes.
