copied!<p>How can I simplify these routes?</p> <pre><code>config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "GetUsersRoute", routeTemplate: "api/User", defaults: new { controller = "User", action = "GetUsers" } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "GetUserRoute", routeTemplate: "api/User/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "User", action = "GetUser", id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "GetEmailAddressRoute", routeTemplate: "api/User/GetEmailAddress/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "User", action="GetEmailAddress", id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); /*** Default ***/ config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); </code></pre> <p>I needed to add the GetEmailAddressRoute because the controller didn't know which action to take for a path like <code>api/User/5</code>. However, since then former routes like <code>api/User</code> don't lead to the correct action.</p> <p>Some action signatures from the controller:</p> <pre><code>public Object GetUsers() { }; public Object GetUser(int id) { }; public HttpResponseMessage GetEmailAddress (int id) { }; </code></pre> <p>But now I'd need to add another route for the Post actions. Is there a simpler way?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: What helped me for posting new users was to remove the action from the first route.
