Restful WCF service

Even though its a pretty old topic, thought this post would be helpful for newbie's.
Here, I created a WCF Service Application (Name: WcfService1)

Deleted the svc created by default and created my own WCF Service (Name: MyRestService)

In the interface IMyRestService add the below code

[ServiceContract]
    public interface IMyRestService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        void DoWork();

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
              ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
              BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
              UriTemplate = "GetProductList/")]
        List<Product> GetProductList();

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
              ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
              BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
             UriTemplate = "GetName/")]
        string GetName();
    }

in the .svc implemented the below:

public class MyRestService : IMyRestService
    {
        public void DoWork()
        {
        }

        public List<Product> GetProductList()
        {
            //Product is a class which I used to load product details from repository
            Product p = new Product();
            return p.GetProducts();
        }

        public string GetName()
        {
            return "Hello World";
        }
    }

Solution structure is



In the web.config do the below settings

  <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="serviceBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="web">
          <webHttp/>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>    
    </behaviors>

    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
 
    <services>
      <service name="WcfService1.MyRestService" behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior">
        <endpoint address=""
                  binding="webHttpBinding"
                  contract="WcfService1.IMyRestService"
                  behaviorConfiguration="web"></endpoint>
      </service>
    </services>
  </system.serviceModel>

Now you can test the methods using the urls:

1) http://localhost:63337/MyRestService.svc/GetName/
2) http://localhost:63337/MyRestService.svc/GetProductList/
