Answer 1

If you have a route like

[Route("nuclearreactors/{reactorId}")]

You need to use the exact same parameter name in the method e.g.

public ReactorModel GetReactor(reactorId)
{
 ...
}

If you do not pass the exact same parameter you may get the error "405 method not allowed" because the route will not match the request and WebApi will hit a different controller method with different allowed HTTP method.
