Accessing Web resource from Plugin code

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by meenxip

Hello all,

I have a JavaScript web resource added to Dynamics CRM 2016 on-premises, which refers to another XML web resource. Now I want to refer the JavaScript Web resource from my Plugin code or from Custom Workflow activity Code. Is this possible? if yes, how?

Thanks...

    You can certainly access any web resources from within your code but you will not be able to execute your JavaScript - you can only run this client side.  If, for example, you have an XML web resource that you wish to read data from that's ok and you can use something like the below:

    public static XmlDocument retrieveXMLWebResource(IPluginExecutionContext context, IOrganizationService service, string webresourceName)
        {
            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

            ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet();
            cols.AddColumn("content");
            QueryByAttribute requestWebResource = new QueryByAttribute
            {
                EntityName = "webresource",
                ColumnSet = cols
            };
            requestWebResource.Attributes.AddRange("name");
            requestWebResource.Values.AddRange(webresourceName);

            Entity webResourceEntity = null;
            EntityCollection webResourceEntityCollection = service.RetrieveMultiple(requestWebResource);

            if (webResourceEntityCollection.Entities.Count > 0)
            {
                webResourceEntity = webResourceEntityCollection.Entities[0];
                byte[] binary = Convert.FromBase64String(webResourceEntity.Attributes["content"].ToString());
                string resourceContent = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binary);
                string byteOrderMarkUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetPreamble());                
                if (resourceContent.StartsWith("\""))
                {
                    resourceContent = resourceContent.Remove(0, byteOrderMarkUtf8.Length);
                }               

                xmlDoc.LoadXml(resourceContent);

            }
            return xmlDoc;
        }

    Hope that helps!

    Hi

    Accessing webresource through plugin or workflow is not possible.

    Thank you Luke Sartin, is your code accessing XML web resource which is on CRM?

    It is, yes.  You'll simply need to pass the name of the CRM webresource to that function and it will return it.  Just to reiterate, this will only work for XML web resources.

    Thank you very much Luke, you gave me another idea to move the Javascript code to C# code to read XML web resource and I get a solution!
