How to transfer the Context as a parameter to an outside service?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have created a certain procedure which activates on a Context. I am using this procedure for few of my application and I would like to expose it as a portal service. The only problem is that this service would need to receive as parameter the whole context and each application has it's own IPrivate elements.

My question is: Is it possible to transfer the context to a certain class from outside the application and use it generically?

Hi Roy,

Use IWDNode and IWDNodeElement interfaces. All nodes and node elements are implementing them. And use Generic Context API inside your service implementation.

But how will I get each element's fields using the get methods? For that, I will need to cast IWDNode and IWDNodeElement to the propar node and element and by doing this I will need again the IPrivate specific class... The other solution is using getAttributeValue but for that I will need to tansfer an array of specific node and elements fields and again it is not so generic...

No....to get metadata about you can use IWDNodeInfo and IWDAttributeInfo interfaces. To obtain call IWDNode.getNodeInfo(). You will be able to get all information about node, attributes etc.
