K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.DynamicServiceBroker

This project contains sample code that demonstrates how to implement a Dynamic Service Broker, in this case a dynamic broker that exposes data in XML files as Service Objects

For more on dynamic service brokers, please see the topic https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/DevRef/current/default.htm#Extend/SmO/DynamicBrokers.htm

Prerequisites

The sample code has the following dependencies:

• .NET Assemblies (both assemblies are included with K2 client-side tools install and are also included in the project's References folder)
  • SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.ServiceSDK.dll

Getting started

• Use this project to learn how to extend the K2 platform by creating a custom dynamic (discovered) service broker.
• This specific project exposes XML files as SmartObjects (read-only operations)
• This project should compile and run, and you can use the sample XML files provided in the Resources folder to test the broker with.
• Fetch or Pull the appropriate branch of this project for your version of K2.
• The Master branch is considered the latest, up-to-date version of the sample project. Older versions will be branched. For example, there may be a branch called K2-Five-5.0 that is specific to K2 Five version 5.0. There may be another branch called K2-Five-5.1 that is specific to K2 Five version 5.3. Assume that the master branch is configured for the latest release version of K2 Five.
• The Visual Studio project contains a folder called "References" where you can find the referenced .NET assemblies or other uncommon assemblies. By default, try to reference these assemblies from your own environment for consistency, but we provide the referenced assemblies as a convenience in case you are not able to locate or use the referenced assemblies in your environment.
• The Visual Studio project contains a folder called "Resources". This folder contains addiitonal resources that may be required to use the same code, such as K2 deployment packages, sample files, SQL scripts and so on.
