Attribute routing not working

Question

I'm new with attribute routing with aspnet web api.

public class UsersController : ApiController
{
    [GET("users/me/brands/{id}")]
    public IEnumerable<Brand> GetBrands(long id)
    {
        return _repository.FindByUser(id);
    }
}

but I could not reach this action. I've tried so many ways:

http://example.com/api/users/brands/4
http://example.com/api/users/brands?id=4
http://example.com/users/brands?id=4
http://example.com/users/brands/4

PS: I also mapped as [GET("api/users/me/brands/{id}")]

What I'm missing?

Your attributed route says `users/me/brands/{id}` and you are using `api/users/brands/4` etc. Why? if you are looking to reach this action, you are supposed to follow what the template is suggesting...that is `users/me/brands/4`... — Kiran, Jul 02 '13 at 14:08
@KiranChalla api is the default prefix. Without it, mvc didn't route to my controllers — Thiago Custodio, Jul 02 '13 at 16:07
