Web Services

eltonr over 8 years ago

An application is using web services and can be accessed by getPro.aspx and listPro.aspx (URL: server:port/.../getPro.aspx)
Using tools like postman, we can access (post and retrieve) the web services without authentication or any further attributes other than the URL.
If we do a get, we can pass parameters to get specific information.
1. How could I use these in Appian Web Service Smart service or HTTP Query Smart service or scripting.
a. retrieve information (GET) from the web service
b. post information (POST) from Appian to the web service

2. set up a web service listener in Appian to accept data posted by the other application web service which triggers
a. Save to database
b. Initiate a process model

Thanks Alok and Sagar, For Item 2. there are two applications..
a. Appian would have a web service that once data is received saves directly tot he database
b. Appian would have another web service that when the data is received, it spawns a process model and triggers tasks for user to accept or reject data sent. The response is sent back to the "sending" application along with other details e.g if rejected, why; if accepted, the who approved it. (I am assuming that the httpWrite() function can be used for this.
