ASP.NET Routing in rest service not working in IIS - rest

Question

I created a simple rest service with routing enabled. The routing is properly working when i run it locally i.e using asp.net development server. But when I deploy the application in IIS (IIS 7.5) then it and try to access the method in the service i get the error HTTP 404.0 Not found. Here is my code :
[ServiceContract]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class HelloWorldService
{
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Date")]
public DateTime Date()
{
return System.DateTime.Now;
}
}
Global.asax:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegisterRoutes();
}
private void RegisterRoutes()
{
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("ServiceData", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(HelloWorldService)));
}
Web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
<standardEndpoints>
<webHttpEndpoint>
<standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true"/>
</webHttpEndpoint>
</standardEndpoints>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I also Enabled HTTP Redirection Feature under
Windows Features -> Internet Information Services -> Word Wide Web services -> Common HTTP Features
I also tried Adding handlers like
<handlers>
<add name="UrlRoutingHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="UrlRouting.axd" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</handlers>
Also i have tried all the other solutions that were suggested on the web but nothing works. Thanks in advance for any help.

Something is wrong with your RegisterRoutes(). It should be:
private void RegisterRoutes()
{
// Edit the base address of Service1 by replacing the "Service1" string below
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("HelloWorldService", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(HelloWorldService)));
}
