Application Xtender Web Services SDK

Hello,

I would like to write a C# application that runs a query and opens up Web Extender with the Query Results Page containing all of the results based on the query. So far I have been able to write a C# DataGridView that contains all of the results of the query (using AxQueryData for the query and AxSearchResults for displaying on grid) and allows the user to open each item and builds the URL using the document pointer and GetDocumentDisplayUrl(sessionID, xmlPointer) method.

I would like to avoid this DataGridView workaround and just launch WX immediately with the query results. What is the simplest way of doing this? Is it possible to just manipulate the querystring of Main.aspx to somehow open WX in the query results page?

Any insights or ideas would be appreciated.

Version:

ApplicationXtender Web Access .NET Version 5.40.322.0
.NET Framework Version 2.0.50727.1433

Thank you,

Igor

I have done research on this and it looks like I would have to pass an encrypted paramter via ParamEnc querystring and pass to Main.aspx. Is this the right direction? What do I use for strKey and strData?

Hi-

I have successfully implemented a different way to get query results. It is a very complicative process that requires several different setup.

In our case our system setup allows our PHP scripts to get a user credentials for AX. So what we do is we use PHP to create a curl session with AX using the users credentials. Then we grab the cookie from WX and store it along with the_VIEWSTATE in oracle. A token is given to the php script which passes the token to our custom ASP page that is stored in WX web server. Basically, the user is forwarded to the ASP page that creates the cookie in user machine and uses the isubmitquery.aspx to show query result. This way the user lands from another application directly to WX with parameter and can see the query result. We use the same sort of setup for single sign on between WX and and other applications.

By the way credential for WX is saved in OTGMGR.AE_LOGIN.

Use SSL, create oracle packages and make sure you encrypt the tokens and the VIEWSTATE.

Hi,

I read your post here. Seems that we are using same version of web service SDK as you are: ApplicationXtender Web Access .NET Version 5.40.322.0
.NET Framework Version 2.0.50727.1433. But we have a lot of issues using the web service SDK so far. Seems that you are quite ahead. Could you please help if you have solved your issues...? The problems are:

1) in .NET, I can not access the web service wsdl by adding web reference, but can only through adding service reference and then using instances of AxServicesInterfaceSoapClient instead of instance of AxServicesInterface().

2) After I create an instance of AxServicesInterfaceSoapClient, I can only access the web methods inclued in the SDK, but no way to create any data transfer object, such as AxApplicationArray, AxApplicationFieldArray,AxQueryData...I do not know why.

Could you or anyone else here give some help on this?

Thanks.
