Basic Service Tutorial Review

Review: Building a Service Step-by-Step

If you followed this tutorial all the way through, you should now have a good understanding of what data-centric Harmony Core OData RESTful web services can do. But this is only the beginning of the story, we have only examined the core things that you can get for free if you have a well-configured repository, and based on automated code generation. There are many other things that you can do in a Harmony Core environment, including, but not limited to:

• Adding custom OData endpoints based on custom code to access data in other ways.
• Adding code-centric services by writing custom business logic in .NET.
• Adding code-centric services by writing custom business logic in Traditional Synergy.
• Adding code-centric services by writing custom business logic in other languages.
• Using code generation to expose controllers based on existing xfServerPlus environments.
• Leveraging two-way persistent connections between clients and your services using SignalR.

Some of these topics are already documented under Advanced Topics, others are yet to be documented. Please let us know if you are looking for information on anything specific that we have not yet already covered, and we'll do our best to prioritize those subjects.
