In ANDROID, I need to consume datafrom ms sql Database. So I have created WCF Rest service which return Json format and XML format data from DB. DB consists lot of stored procedures.

While calling ms sql stored procedure i have sent the input parameter in List KeyValuePair format. Is this good approach or any other solution available.

C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace RestService
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IRestfulService" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IRestfulService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "post", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate = "xml/{dbType}/{Query}/{Param}/{bSP}")]
        String XMLData(int dbType, string strQuery, List<KeyValuePair<string, object>> kvParam, bool bSP);

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "post", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate = "json/{dbType}/{Query}/{Param}/{bSP}")]
        String JSonData(int dbType, string strQuery, List<KeyValuePair<string, object>> kvParam, bool bSP);
    }
}

While there is nothing wrong with your approach, you find that debugging your service may get difficult. From what I see in your code example, you have made a very dynamic solution which has its pros and cons. Another con you will run into is the structure KeyValuePair will result in a complex JSON object which can make it harder to consume.

My personal recommendation is to make your RESTful service action specific. For example, if you have a procedure that gets and entity, you would want something like this:
"json/{entity}/{id}" to get by Id
"json/{entity}/{name"} to get by name

The idea of RESTful service is to allow clients to consume and send data without the need for a WSDL or proxy class.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Create a model with all the properties you need and use it instead of List<keyvlauepair>. It will make your code clean and reduce the complexities.

Thank you Mathi Mani for your valuable suggestion. I have more than 150 Stored Procedure. If I create model then I should create more and more. Hence I created dynamic method to call stored procedure.
