[Openroad-users] Web Service calls from an OpenROAD client

[Antill, Jim]

Paul,
 
A few of us wrote some OpenROAD code here a while ago to call a webservice,
passing over details of OR Objects in an XML document.
 
The transport mechanism was built using PocketSOAP wrapped in an ActiveX
control written using VB6. (The Web-Service is sent an XML document via SOAP
across HTTP). OpenROAD code was then written to take OpenROAD objects and
form an XML document from them which was then sent to the webservice using
the ActiveX control. When the ActiveX control received a reply the XML
document was taken and formed back into OpenROAD objects. It works pretty
well.
 
I'm not sure if OpenROAD has the ability to form XML documents itself without
the AppServer code being used. If not you could use MSXML to build the XML
(from info contained in the OR Objects) or just build the XML as a
StringObject. I think (though I'm not sure) that using MSXML would also give
you access to other important XML things such as an XSLT transformation
engine.
 
Just one of many approaches I'm sure. Please let me know if you want any more
info and I'll try to help.
 
Regards,
Jim

Hi!
 
We are looking at a requirement from one of our customers to interface from
our OpenROAD app to another app via web services.
 
Has anyone managed to invoke web services from an OpenROAD client?!
 
We use Oracle at the back end so we could do a post from the database but
that get's complicated to tie in with the users experience at the front end!
 
Any thoughts / advice / ideas welcomed!
 
Cheers,
 
Paul
