I use Postman to send a request to my RESTful server. What I send is the following:
<Template>
<ConnectionString>http://localhost:81/Template/InputParameters.docx</ConnectionString>
<OutputFormat>docx</OutputFormat>
<Parameters>
<Parameter>
<Name>Text</Name>
<Value>Support \nnewline character \n\tfor text input parameter</Value>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
<Datasources>
<Datasource>
<Name>test</Name>
<Type>xml2</Type>
<ConnectionString>http://localhost:81/Template/SouthWind.xml</ConnectionString>
</Datasource>
</Datasources>
</Template>
But what I get on the server side is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Template xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/RESTfulEngine.Models" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Callback i:nil="true"/>
<ConnectionString>http://localhost:81/Template/InputParameters.docx</ConnectionString>
<Data i:nil="true"/>
<Datasources>
<Datasource>

</Datasources>

<Format i:nil="true"/>
<Guid>d59e1ae8-4def-437f-a860-4a93723587f6</Guid>
<LicenseFromHeader i:nil="true"/>
<MainPrinter i:nil="true"/>
<OutputFormat>docx</OutputFormat>
<Parameters>
<Parameter>
<Name>Text</Name>
<Value i:type="a:ArrayOfXmlNode" xmlns:a="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Xml"/>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Template>
The array of Datasource works fine. But the array pf Parameters is giving we something real weird for the node.
The actual class on the server side is:
public class Parameter { /// Initializes a new instance of the class. public Parameter(string name, object value) { Name = name; Value = value; }
/// <summary>For the ASP.NET constructor for controllers.</summary>
public Parameter()
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Name of the parameter (the var in ${var}).
/// </summary>
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// The Value of the parameter.
/// </summary>
[DataMember]
public object Value { get; set; }
}
What's going on here?
