I want to call a rest service which is written in WCF and the input is of type composite which means user class object of .net example of the user class object is as shown below:

Java

public class Sub
{
 public string HostUID { get; set; }
        public string HostName { get; set; }
}

so the rest service method input is as below:
[OperationContract(Name="SampleSUb")]
 [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/Subsc", Method = "GET")]
public string Method1(Sub input);

Now i want to call the method1 rest service from android java application. I am able to connect to the Rest service but not able to send the input parameters to Sub class.

Can any one help me on this???

Just need to call by using JSON method as below from android

WCF service method Declaration

C#

public class Sub
{
 public string HostUID { get; set; }
        public string HostName { get; set; }
}

so the rest service method input is as below:

XML

[OperationContract(Name="SampleSUb")]
 [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/Subsc", Method = "GET",RequestFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json,ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json))]
public string Method1(Sub input);

Android Java code:

Java

URI uri = new URI("http://............."); 
			JSONObject jo1 = new JSONObject();
			jo1.put("Id", "12");
			jo1.put("StringValue", "as");
			HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) uri.toURL().openConnection();
			conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/json; charset=utf-8"); 
			conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
			conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Pigeon"); 
			conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(0); 
			conn.setDoInput(true);
			conn.setDoOutput(true);
			conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); 
			conn.connect(); 
			DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); 
			out.write(jo1.toString().getBytes()); 
			out.flush();  
			int code = conn.getResponseCode(); 
			String message = conn.getResponseMessage(); 
			InputStream in1 = conn.getInputStream();
			StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
			String reply1; 
			try { int chr; while ((chr = in1.read()) != -1) { sb.append((char) chr); }
			reply1 = sb.toString(); }
			finally { in1.close(); }
