Nested Json as input in POST method

Question

I use Fiddler to call my method. Here are the parameters:

{"timestamp":"",
"json":
    {
        "something":[{"text":"bla","status":"1"},{"text":"sfdf","status":"1"}],
        "somethingElse":[{"description":"description""status":"1"}],
        "som1":[{"id":"1""status":"1"}]
    }
 }

The path to the method is correct. Here is the signature:

public void MyMethod(string timestamp, string json)

But it never gets called. How to modify my method so that it gets called? Should the parameter 'json' be not string?

I make the call via Fiddler. My method is in C#. The project is Wcf service.

I tried changing the type of json from string to object, and the method gets called, but json has no value.

I wonder what language you're using and what environment your setup is in? Please retag and add some more info. — Nick Weaver

When you change it from string to object it gets called but json doesnt have a value because you are using the type as object which is generic. Try using a specific type for the json parameter as the framework would be able to deserialize the value to that specific type of object then — Rajesh

try this in your interface,

 public interface IRestFulWCF
{
    [OperationContract(Name = "MyMethod")]
    [WebInvoke(
        RequestFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json,
        UriTemplate="/Example",
        Method="POST",
        BodyStyle=WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedResponse)
    ]
    public void MyMethod(string timestamp, string json) ;

}

please post your interface detail end web.config here if this is not helping you.

What I did was creating a new class which had these properties: List, List, List, and I changed the method:

public void MyMethod(string timestamp, theNewClass json) ;

and it worked.
