Hi all,
I am a new user in the realm of webservices.
I have readed a lot of post that are referred to webservices and it sounds very interesting and powerful.
Before to start I need to know what are the required hardware/software/licences. I mean, in some posts BaanOpenWorld product have been mentioned, but as far as I know, Infor have terminated their support for this product and I don´t know if there is a newer product to cover this.
Some posts refers that baan connector for webservices must be installed on a tomcat server and must be licenced. Is this correct?
And last, there is a webservices reference programming manual to start from scratch?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Webservices are strong and quicker communication method to connect two applications. You have several options to build them -

SOAP, REST, WCF - in multiple languages ranging from C#, .NET, JAVA etc.

Once you build your webservice, you can then deploy it and use it in LN using SOAP function's available under bic_soap. If not, you can build your own client program to call the webservice.

It depends on you on how to build it, and how to consume it. LN provides a way of consume SOAP based webservices which only requires the inbuilt functions.

Here's an example (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=64167)

I love Webservices personally! :)
