Has anyone loaded MDWS? I'm trying to get it installed and it is not working according to the Installation guide. I would like to talk to someone if they have done this successfully.
Thanks,
Wiley

I don't have time to help right now. But you probably want to email
this to the MDWS OSEHRA group. Somebody there will help.
http://osehra.org/group/mdws. They also have a weekly call.

I usually compiled it from source. If there is proprietary Oracle
stuff and you don't want that you have to edit the source code a
little bit to remove the dependencies. I think both I and Chris
Edwards did that. Chris's repo is here (not sure if it's up to date
though): https://github.com/ChristopherEdwards/MDWS

Hi Wiley,

Sounds like you might be interested in my MDWS demo project. You can download it from:


It's got a really simple GUI showing how to do some rudimentary stuff, a couple thin MDWS DAO classes and a decent suite of unit tests showing how everything works. It's a VS 2010 project but it should be very readable even if you don't know C#. Hope this helps. Take care

I download this demo but get this error "The remote name could not be resolved: 'mdws.vistaehr.com'", Can I use any other services to login in or do you have any suggestions

Hi Bassant,

Based on our emails and other HH threads, you seem to have an unclear picture of how things fit together.

MDWS is web services for talking to your VistA system. It communicates via RPC (much like CPRS) to VistA. Want to write an app that pulls meds out of VistA? If you were using the RPC Broker, you'd need to figure out which RPCs to call, the arguments, how to parse the results, how to connect and login to VistA, etc. etc. MDWS aims to dramatically simplify all that by giving you meaningful APIs to work with. Need to connect to VistA? Well, that's the "connect" web service. Need to authenticate your user? That's the "login" service. Need to pick a patient? "match" and "select" services. Get meds... you guess it: the getAllMeds service.

The demo project I linked to 6/5/2014 is just a simple C# client application of MDWS. It's purpose was to illustrate everything I just highlighted above, the simple session management, a UI to show how one might display the data, etc. Since the demo project is a client of MDWS, it needs to know *where* MDWS is hosted so that it can construct the correct web service requests. As you saw, "mdws.vistaehr.com" does not exist any more. I don't know of any publicly hosted MDWS installations for you to bang against. However, you also seem to be standing up your own MDWS server so why not point the demo there?

Good luck!
