The following example shows how to use the WebInvokeAttribute attribute.

[ServiceContract]
public interface ICalculator2
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke]
    long Add(long x, long y);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "Sub?x={x}&y={y}")]
    long Subtract(long x, long y);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "Mult?x={x}&y={y}", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
    long Multiply(long x, long y);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "Div?x={x}&y={y}", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
    long Divide(long x, long y);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "Mod?x={x}&y={y}")]
    long Mod(long x, long y);
}

The WebInvokeAttribute attribute is applied to a service operation in addition to the OperationContractAttribute and associates the operation with a UriTemplate as well as an underlying transport verb that represents an invocation (for example, HTTP POST, PUT, or DELETE). The WebInvokeAttribute attribute is a passive operation behavior (the IOperationBehavior methods do nothing) that adds metadata to the operation description. Applying the WebInvokeAttribute attribute to a service operation has no effect unless a behavior that looks for this metadata in the operation description (such as WebHttpBehavior) is added to the service's behavior collection. The WebInvokeAttribute determines what HTTP method that a service operation responds to. By default, all methods that have the WebInvokeAttribute applied respond to POST requests. The Method property allows you to specify a different HTTP method. If you want a service operation to respond to GET, use the WebGetAttribute instead.
