Using webservices in combination with MMBase
aschwin
in a project which is starting now our client wants to use different
types of devices to communicate our MMBase application. Thet want to
use an Iphone or IPad to modify data which are stored in our database.
The project also has an webapp , built in JSP and using the MMBase
taglib. This webapp is leading.
An external party will create the IPod/IPad gui. They stated that the
best way (only) for this app to communicate with MMBase is through use
of webservices.
We not very experienced in using services , so my question is ;
- where to start?
- what are things to think of?
- do some of you guys have done a thing like this before?
regards Aschwin

Open Images f.e. has so called 'web services' http://www.openbeelden.nl/api
An Atom RSS feed and most important a OAI-PMH feed http://www.openbeelden.nl/feeds/oai/?verb=Identify which is f.e. used by MediaWiki and also in an iPhone application http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=393876266&mt=8&affId=1380330

Do you have specific requirements for offline storage or do you want a
live application (that always need connectivity?)
What kind of language do you plan to use (objective-c of more the
html/javascript approach?)

Last year I made this
https://scm.mmbase.org/speeltuin/mihxil/webservice/ Which is a simple
framework to expose information from MMBase (as XML or JSON) using
mmbase features such as functions and security.
But I suppose those guys are going to expect a WSDL or so. I never
came around to figure out how to best generate such a thing (perhaps
using apache cxf or so). The client I was making this for found all
that too complicated, and were content with the above.
But perhaps they are not even expecting something so fancy as wsdl,
and then you could get away with something as I did, or even with
simple feeds as Andre proposed. It depends.
