如何将XML作为POST传递给ASP MVC .NET中的ActionResult

时间:2009-07-10 20:41:09

标签: asp.net-mvc xml json json.net actionresult

我正在尝试为我的ASP MVC项目提供一个简单的RESTful API。我将无法控制此API的客户端,他们将通过POST方法传递XML,该方法将包含在服务器端执行某些操作所需的信息,并提供带有操作结果的XML。发回XML时没有问题,问题是通过POST接收XML。我已经看到了一些JSON示例,但由于我不会控制我的客户端(从我的角度来看它甚至可能是一个telnet)我不认为JSON会起作用。我对么?

我见过客户只是构造正确的表单格式作为请求主体的一部分然后ASP解析消息的例子,数据可用作FormCollection(?param1 = value1& param2 = value2&等) 。但是,我想将纯XML作为消息体的一部分传递。

感谢您的帮助,

@Freddy - 喜欢你的方法,并使用以下代码对其进行了改进,以简化流阅读:

    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        HttpContextBase httpContext = filterContext.HttpContext;
        if (!httpContext.IsPostNotification)
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException("Only POST messages allowed on this resource");
        }

        Stream httpBodyStream = httpContext.Request.InputStream;
        if (httpBodyStream.Length > int.MaxValue)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("HTTP InputStream too large.");
        }

        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(httpBodyStream, Encoding.UTF8);
        string xmlBody = reader.ReadToEnd();
        reader.Close();

        filterContext.ActionParameters["message"] = xmlBody;

        // Sends XML Data To Model so it could be available on the ActionResult
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }

然后在Controller中,您可以以字符串形式访问xml:

[RestAPIAttribute]    
public ActionResult MyActionResult(string message)    
{         

}

这可以通过使用ActionFilterAttribute来完成。操作过滤器基本上与操作结果之前或之后的请求相交。所以我刚为POST Action Result构建了一个自定义动作过滤器属性。这是我做的:

public class RestAPIAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        HttpContextBase httpContext = filterContext.HttpContext;
        if (!httpContext.IsPostNotification)
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException("Only POST messages allowed on this resource");
        }
        Stream httpBodyStream = httpContext.Request.InputStream;

        if (httpBodyStream.Length > int.MaxValue)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("HTTP InputStream too large.");
        }

        int streamLength = Convert.ToInt32(httpBodyStream.Length);
        byte[] byteArray = new byte[streamLength];
        const int startAt = 0;

        /*
         * Copies the stream into a byte array
         */
        httpBodyStream.Read(byteArray, startAt, streamLength);

        /*
         * Convert the byte array into a string
         */
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < streamLength; i++)
        {
            sb.Append(Convert.ToChar(byteArray[i]));
        }

        string xmlBody = sb.ToString();

        //Sends XML Data To Model so it could be available on the ActionResult

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

然后在控制器上的动作结果方法中,您应该执行以下操作:

    [RestAPIAttribute]
    public ActionResult MyActionResult()
    {
        //Gets XML Data From Model and do whatever you want to do with it
    }

希望这有助于其他人,如果您认为有更优雅的方法可以做到,请告诉我。

为什么他们不能在表格帖子中将xml作为字符串传递?

示例:

public ActionResult SendMeXml(string xml)
{
  //Parse into a XDocument or something else if you want, and return whatever you want.
  XDocument xmlDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);

  return View();
}

您可以创建表单帖子并将其发送到单个表单字段中。

我知道您可以创建自定义值提供程序工厂。这样,您还可以在发布模型之前验证模型,然后再尝试保存模型。 Phil Haack有一篇关于同一概念的JSON版本的博客文章。唯一的问题是我不知道如何为XML实现同样的东西。

答案 4 :(得分:3)

IMO实现此目的的最佳方法是编写自定义值提供程序,这是一个处理请求到表单字典映射的工厂。您只需继承ValueProviderFactory并处理请求,如果它是“text / xml”或“application / xml”类型。

我喜欢@Freddy的回答和@Bowerm的改进。它简洁并保留了基于表单的操作的格式。

但IsPostNotification检查在生产代码中不起作用。它不会检查HTTP动词,因为错误消息似乎暗示,并且当编译调试标志设置为false时,它会从HTTP上下文中删除。这在这里解释: HttpContext.IsPostNotification is false when Compilation debug is false

由于这个问题,我希望这能节省一半半的调试路由。这是没有检查的解决方案:

public class XmlApiAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        HttpContextBase httpContext = filterContext.HttpContext;
        // Note: for release code IsPostNotification stripped away, so don't check it!
        // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28877619/httpcontext-ispostnotification-is-false-when-compilation-debug-is-false            

        Stream httpBodyStream = httpContext.Request.InputStream;
        if (httpBodyStream.Length > int.MaxValue)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("HTTP InputStream too large.");
        }

        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(httpBodyStream, Encoding.UTF8);
        string xmlBody = reader.ReadToEnd();
        reader.Close();

        filterContext.ActionParameters["xmlDoc"] = xmlBody;

        // Sends XML Data To Model so it could be available on the ActionResult
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}
...
public class MyXmlController 
{ ...
    [XmlApiAttribute]
    public JsonResult PostXml(string xmlDoc)
    {
...

尼斯!,

我在控制器方法中操作Xml的对象是什么?

我正在使用这种方式:

在actionFilter上,我用:

填充模型
        .
        .

        string xmlBody = sb.ToString();

        filterContext.Controller.ViewData.Model = xmlBody;

在我的控制器方法上,我得到了模型:

        string xmlUserResult = ViewData.Model as string;

        XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(UserDTO));
        StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(xmlUserResult);
        XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(stringReader);
        UserDTO userToUpdate = ser.Deserialize(xmlReader) as UserDTO;
        xmlReader.Close();
        stringReader.Close();

这是正确的实施吗?

感谢。
