Hi all,

Is it possible to create webservices within GX ?
I have been using GX Webmanager for a while now. I know how to call other webservices. But is it also possible to create your own webservices ?

Kind regards,

Menno

Yes this is possible.

You will have to build a servlet, check out the documentation on how to generate a servlet.

Hi,

If you want to build a webservice within a WCB, you're better off with Apache CXF then with AXIS.

Yeah it's possible (speaking from own experience) to make one using a Servlet Component, as stated above, but if there's a framework or anything you can add that makes it easier to manage (since a servlet is just about the lowest level of Java programming you can do in WebManager), I'd say use that.

I myself made a relatively simple one that passed information as JSON to a Flash object, so if you need a relatively simple one, you can use servlets. If you have a more complex one however, you'll need to spend a lot of time on your architecture, or do some research in the above. I've no experience with CXF or AXIS though.

Hi Menno,

There is a packaged CXF available as WCB, such that you can create WebServices with not much difficulties. I don't know the status of this WCB. I think Bram will be able to tell this.

Gr,

Hi,

I've consumed webservices using a pre version of what Mark is indicating that should be available from Bram. So that should at least be possible. ;)

Regards,

Michel
