Posted on by cyberzamora

Hello everyone, i'd like to know if is there a way to "publish(?)" a webservice, i've seen other forums where somebody use ASP with C# or VB to do it.
The point here is, that i want to make an URL to give it to a customer, the customer will send information through this web service and i will to process it in Dynamics AX... this using REST (JSON), now already got information from an external URL, but now i want to make my own URL from AX ... is that posible? :) thankyou

First of all, why do you insist on this specific data format? If you want a RESTful API, it doesn't have to use JSON.

For example, AX 2012 supports OData query service (which is RESTful, but it doesn't use JSON).

If you're looking for a generic way how to deploy REST endpoints instead of SOAP endpoints, you can't do that. AX would have to support it. But you can create a middle-tier service (consuming AX SOAP interface and exposing its own REST interface), if you think it's worth doing.

Your requirement to give user an URL can be done as well with SOAP.

Because of customer convenience, they are using JSON to get communication. That's why i'd like to use it. I just made this post to find possibilities. I'm not insisting, but thank you. Chavooo!

I hope that nobody write web service message by hand, so what's the point whether my object-oriented API generates a JSON message, an ATOM message, a SOAP message, a binary stream or anything else? The communication is done by computers, not people, and it's usually hidden behind high-level programming interfaces.

But as I said, if you think it's cost-effective, you can use a middle-tier service exposing a REST API and using JSON.

I'm seriously trying to help you. I told you what AX supports, how you can implement your requirement and what are implementation details that you shouldn't worry about too much. I'm sorry you don't see this helpful and you feel offended by it.

If my advice didn't help you, maybe try to explain what else you need.
