Question

In my interface I have declared this.

[OperationContract]
[WebGet]
String GetStuff(String beep, String boop = \"too lazy to type\");

I impl

Answer 1

You can try this, overloading the function.

[OperationContract]
MyResponse GetData(); 

[OperationContract(Name = "GetDataByFilter")]
MyResponse GetData(string filter);

Then another option is to use a DataContract instead of multiple parameters, and set IsRequired to false on the appropriate DataMembers, like explained in this question.
