Discovery of JSON-based custom services in AX 7

网络文摘 William 1601浏览 0评论

If you download AX integration samples from GitHub, you’ll see (in JsonConsoleApplication project) that you can call JSON-based custom services by code like this:

var request = HttpWebRequest.Create(ClientConfiguration.Default.UriString + "api/services/UserSessionService/AifUserSessionService/GetUserSessionInfo");
request.Headers[OAuthHelper.OAuthHeader] = OAuthHelper.GetAuthenticationHeader();
request.Method = "POST";
request.GetResponse();

It will call the operation and return its return value as JSON:

{
    "$id":"1",
    "AOSLocaleName":"en-US",
    "AXLanguage":"EN-US",
    "Company":"DAT",
    "CompanyTimeZone":58,
    "CurrencyInfo": {
        "$id":"2",
        "CurrencyCode":"USD",
        "Description":"US Dollar",
        "ExchangeRate":100.0,
        "ISOCurrencyCode":"USD",
        "Prefix":"","Suffix":""
    },
    "IsSysAdmin":true,
    "UserId":"wintermute",
    "UserPreferredCalendar":0,
    "UserPreferredTimeZone":18
}

This is what happens when you use the POST method of HTTP; if you switch to GET, you’ll actually get some information about the service.

Therefore if you merely change the value of request.Method:

var request = HttpWebRequest.Create(ClientConfiguration.Default.UriString + "api/services/UserSessionService/AifUserSessionService/GetUserSessionInfo");
request.Headers[OAuthHelper.OAuthHeader] = OAuthHelper.GetAuthenticationHeader();
request.Method = "GET";
request.GetResponse();

you’ll get a very different response:

{
    "Parameters":[],
    "Return": {
        "Name":"return",
        "Type":"AifUserSessionInfo"
    }
}

You can see that the operation doesn’t expect any parameters and it returns a single object of AifUserSessionInfo type. This gives you some limited information about how to use this service.

You can also use GET requests to discover existing services and their operations.

/api/services gives you a list of all service groups:

{"ServiceGroups":[{"Name":"AxClient"},,{"Name":"UserSessionService"}]}

/api/services/UserSessionService provides a list of services in the service group:

{"Services":[{"Name":"AifUserSessionService"}]}

/api/services/UserSessionService/AifUserSessionService shows all operations of the individual service:

{
    "Operations": [
        {"Name":"ApplyTimeZone"},
        {"Name":"GetAccessRights"},
        {"Name":"GetPartitionKey"},
        {"Name":"GetPartitionKeysForUser"},
        {"Name":"GetUserSessionInfo"},
        {"Name":"IsSinglePartitionSystem"},
        {"Name":"RemoveTimeZone"}
    ]
}

Don’t forget than opening an URL in browser makes a GET request, therefore you don’t have to write any code to get this kind of information about custom services.

But maybe you would like something a bit more sophisticated, which is the topic of the next post: Open API for JSON-based custom services in AX 7.
