Handling web-services

Bo Dudek

Hi

We have a client, who is able to program web-services with ease. The client want us to build an extranet, and 50-60% of the content for this should be taken from their web-services. We can pretty much define ourselves what output the web-services should generate e.g. JSON, XML or other.

- What module should be installed and used for this in DynamicWeb?
- Any guides in general?
- Any comments on making the useraccess controlled by a web-service

Cheers

Hi Bo,

You can use the Content Integration module for this, see http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=4808 for details and examples.

For doing Useraccess through a Webservice, you can just create a custom module that handles authentication based on your webservice, and then sign in a user through the API. Maybe you can also use User Management Extensibility, depending on your needs. See http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=Files%2fFiler%2fDocumentation%2fDevelopment%2fModules%2f(en-US)+User+Management+Extensibility+API.pdf for info about this.

Greetings,
Juriaan
