Appeon and RESTful Webservices

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am just researching in Appeon and I am asking myself if it is possible to call REST endpoints (like published by Azure Mobile Services) from Appeon. I found a chapter about calling webservices. But it does make a clear statement about the format of the webservice to call.

Has anyone experiences calling Webservices with:

SOAP

REST(JSON)

REST(XML)

ODATA

For me, just the Appeon for Mobile Apps is relevant.

best regards

Hi Benjamin,

Appeon supports calling SOAP services directly.  If you want to call REST or ODATA Web services then you would have to create a server-side .NET assembly that acts as a proxy object and Appeon Mobile can call the .NET assembly. 

Here is info how to create a .NET assembly in PB that calls a REST Web service: http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/powerbuilder/blog/2014/07/20/creating-a-rest-web-servi...

Ideally, if you can provide us with sample code of what Web service you want to call and what data it returns we may be able to give you a more specific suggestion.
