SOAP or REST

Submitted by geertd on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 04:19

Hi,

The sample at http://developer.axeda.com/learn/by-type/sample-application/net-application-demonstrates-how-call-auth-and-scripto-webservices appears to be using SOAP to call the auth and scripto webservices. If I use the same mechanism to call a custom object that returns xml, the resulting xml is wrapped in a SOAP message.

Is this the correct (and only?) way to call the auth and scripto services from .NET?

The documentation seems to indicate that a "pure REST approach" is also possible. If so, is there a .NET sample available that demonstrates this?

Hi Geert,

We have REST call examples in Java, Flash and in the Android source code.

They use the HTTPClient methods.

We currently do not have a sample code of REST with .NET clients, but would like to have one soon. 

I will investigate this, so please stay posted.

Thanks

Martin,

I am investigating this myseft. I already succeeded in logging in and calling a scripto service from a .NET application. I will do some futher investigation and as soon as I am happy with the results, I am willing to share my code. Just send me your email address if your interested.

Geert.
