Http post request not being noticed on MVC ASP.NET Deployment

Question

Hi,

I have two an action method - > RoleURLManagement

which differs with its input parameter in the get compared to the post so we have

     [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
     public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(string id)
     {
     }

and

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(aspnet_Roles rt)
    {
    }

The get is bringing back a page based on the id in the URL. The Post should be updating that record.

Now,

this works perfect locally on my machine, But I have deployed it, It does not recognise the Post at all.

Not sure why this is happening, on the view I have a BeginForm posting to this method.

Wow

HTML

<% using (Html.BeginForm("RoleURLManagement", "Role", FormMethod.Post))
    {%>

 <fieldset>
  <%--  <legend>Fields</legend>--%>

    <div class="display-label">ApplicationId</div>
    <div class="display-field"><%: Model.ApplicationId%></div>
    <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ApplicationId, new {@class   = "RemoveAttribute" })%>

    <div class="display-label">RoleId</div>
    <div class="display-field"><%: Model.RoleId%></div>
    <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.RoleId, new {@class = "RemoveAttribute" })%>

    <div class="display-label">RoleName</div>
    <h1><div class="display-field"><%: Model.RoleName%></div></h1>
  <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.RoleName, new {@class = "RemoveAttribute" })%>
    <%: Html.TextBox("RoleName") %>


    <div class="display-label">LoweredRoleName</div>
    <div class="display-field"><%: Model.LoweredRoleName%></div>
    <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.LoweredRoleName, new {@class = "RemoveAttribute" })%>

    <div class="display-label">Description</div>
    <div class="display-field"><%: Model.Description%></div>
    <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Description, new {@class = "RemoveAttribute" })%>

</fieldset>


 <div class="siteCheck"> 
 <%=Html.SiteMapCheckBoxManagement("checkManagememt", Model)%>
 <%=Html.TextArea("t")%>
 </div>

 <input type="submit" value="Map Sites to Role" />

 <% } %>

Answer 2

Hmm... not sure why that isn't work... here are a few stabs at ideas:

1) You aren't passing the id into the post method?

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(string id)
{
}

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(string id, aspnet_Roles rt)
{
}

2) See if it works when accepting a FormCollection instead of aspnet_Roles: (then get the role based on ID, and do an UpdateModel(role) to apply the changes)

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(string id)
{
}

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult RoleURLManagement(string id, FormCollection form)
{
}

Of course neither of those explain why it works different on your machine than the server. Do you have different versions of IIS? RC of MVC 2?

Good Luck...
