RESTFul Example SubMoviesInfo() Dim URL AsNewStringBuilder URL.Append("http://www.example.com/movies.main") URL.Append("?var1=movies") ‘? Followed by key=valueURL.Append("&zip=") ‘& Followed by key=valueURL.Append(tbZip.text) ‘assumes a textbox named zip MovieInfoDS= NewDataSet Try MovieInfoDS.ReadXml(XmlReader.Create(URL.ToString())) IfShowInfoDS.Tables.Count = 0 Then . . . EndIf Catchex AsException . . . EndTry EndSub COMP 446 / ELEC 446 - Week 7
REST Used Extensively by Many • Amazon (Offers both REST and SOAP) • eBay • Facebook • Yahoo! • YouTube COMP 446 / ELEC 446 - Week 7
SOAP with ASP.Net • SOAP is more like a natural subroutine call • Parameters and results have strong data types • Various Discovery services • Development toolkits handle complexity • Many publically available • http://www.webservicex.net/WS/wscatlist.aspx • http://www.xmethods.net • Amazon.com COMP 446 / ELEC 446 - Week 7
Create a Web Service • 2 Steps • Create a Web Services File • Right-Click your web project, select ‘Add New Item’ • Chose Web Service and give it a Name (uses the .asmx extension) • Write your functions • Code placed in App_Code folder under the name.vb file • Functions preceded with the ‘<WebMethod()> _’ tag <WebMethod()> _ Public Function ByTwo(ByValInputValue As Integer) As Integer Return InputValue * 2 End Function COMP 446 / ELEC 446 - Week 7
Consuming a Web Service • 3 Steps to consume a basic web service • Create a reference to the web service in your project • Declare the web service in your function • Call the web service COMP 446 / ELEC 446 - Week 7
