Scenario 1: Web

Takeaways

Recommendations:

• Mobile Web sites will let you target multiple devices with a single back end

• Use ASP.NET MVC with ViewEngine support for device specific views

• Use ASP.NET MVC 3 (not 2) for improved HTML5 attributes

Watch out for:

• Many different UI frameworks – choose carefully, think about longevity

• MEAPs – Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms (auto gen’d UI from single source)

Scenarios

Scenario 2: Service

“We’ve covered Mobile Web pages, but how about if my site has REST/SOAP services?”

Scenario 2: Service

Android 2.2 (Java)

SOAP (WS-I)

iPad/iPhone OS 4.2 (ObjC)

Native Application

Scenario 2: Service

Android 2.2 (Java)

Native Application

<%@ ServiceHost Service="TRMobile.Web.Services.SessionService" Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebServiceHostFactory" %>

REST.svc

Scenario 2: Service

Android 2.2 (Java)

Native Application

public class SessionService : ISessionService{ public SessionSummary[] GetData() {

// return active sessions }}

SessionService.cs

Scenario 2: Service

Android 2.2 (Java)

Native Application

[ServiceContract] public interface ISessionService { [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Sessions", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)] [OperationContract] SessionSummary[] GetData(); }

ISessionService.cs

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 1: You need a JSON

library

http://stig.github.com

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 2: Use NSMutableURLReques

t to call the service

-(IBAction)callRESTService:(id)sender{

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://sguest01/TRMobile/Services/REST.svc/Sessions"];

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];

connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

if (connection){

NSLog(@"Connection was established");receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];

}else {

NSLog(@"Connection was null");}

iPhoneClientViewController.m

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 3: Handle callbacks

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response{

NSLog(@"Received response from the REST call");[receivedData setLength:0];

-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{

NSLog(@"Received data from the REST call");[receivedData appendData:data];

-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{

NSLog(@"REST call failed with an error");}

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 4: Get the response, deserialize

-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection{

NSLog(@"Connection finished loading");NSString *responseString = [[NSString

alloc]initWithData:receivedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];NSLog(@"%@",responseString);

NSArray *dict = [responseString JSONValue]; for (id obj in dict){

NSDictionary *session = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:obj];

NSString *sessionCode = [session valueForKey:@"Code"];

NSLog(@"%@",sessionCode);}

NSLog(@"Complete");}

Scenario 2: Service

Demo: Consuming a REST based service on iPhone/iPad

Scenario 2: Service

“Great! Is it a similar process on Android?”

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 1: Use HttpClient and

HttpGet to make connection

Android 2.2 (Java)

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://sguest01/TRMobile/Services/REST.svc/Sessions");

HttpEntity restEntity = httpClient.execute(request).getEntity();String restResult = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(restEntity.getContent())).readLine();

Main.java

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 2: Use org.json libraries

to deserialize JSON

Android 2.2 (Java)

JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(restResult);for(int i=0; i<jArray.length(); i++){

JSONObject session = jArray.getJSONObject(i);Log.i("Session retrieved", "Code: "+session.getString("Code")

+" - "+session.getString("Title"));}

Main.java

Scenario 2: Service

Native Application

Step 3: Optional – use GSON to

support serialization

Android 2.2 (Java)

http://code.google.com/p/google-gson

public void runJSONParser(){ try{ Log.i("MY INFO", "Json Parser started.."); Gson gson = new Gson();Reader r = new InputStreamReader(getJSONData("http://search.twitter.com/trends.json”)); Log.i("MY INFO", r.toString()); TwitterTrends objs = gson.fromJson(r, TwitterTrends.class); Log.i("MY INFO", ""+objs.getTrends().size()); for(TwitterTrend tr : objs.getTrends()){ Log.i("TRENDS", tr.getName() + " - " + tr.getUrl()); } }catch(Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } }

Scenario 2: Service

Demo: Consuming a REST based service on Android

Scenario 2: Service

“REST appears to be fairly straightforward – but how about my services use SOAP?”

Scenario 2: Service

Android 2.2 (Java)

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

[ServiceContract] public interface ISOAP { [OperationContract] List<SessionSummary> GetSessions(); }

iSOAP.cs

public class SOAP : ISOAP{ public List<SessionSummary> GetSessions() { // code to return active sessions }}

SOAP.svc.cs

Scenario 2: Service

“It’s not as easy as you were hoping!”

No easy way of saying this, but:

Scenario 2: Service

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

Option 1: Handcraft the SOAP request/handle the SOAP response

Scenario 2: Service

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

Option 2: Your searches will likely take you down the road of gSOAP

and WSMakeStubs

Scenario 2: Service

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

Option 3: wsdl2objc (http://code.google.com/p/

wsdl2objc/)Version 0.7-pre1 recommended

Native Application

Option 3: wsdl2objc (http://code.google.com/p/wsdl2objc/)

Version 0.7-pre1 recommended

Scenario 2: Service

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

BasicHttpBinding_ISOAPBinding *myBinding = [SOAP BasicHttpBinding_ISOAPBinding];myBinding.logXMLInOut = true;

SOAP_GetTitleForCode *parameters = [[SOAP_GetTitleForCode new] autorelease];parameters.code = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[numberTextField text]];

BasicHttpBinding_ISOAPBindingResponse *response = [myBinding GetTitleForCodeUsingParameters:parameters];

NSArray *responseBodyParts = response.bodyParts;for (id bodyPart in responseBodyParts){

NSString *message = [bodyPart GetTitleForCodeResult];}

http://wcfextras.codeplex.com

Scenario 2: Service

“How about SOAP support on Android? A similar story?”

Scenario 2: Service

SOAP (WS-I)

Native Application

You would think that wsimport should work

Android 2.2 (Java)

Usage: wsimport [options] <WSDL_URI>

where [options] include: -b <path> specify jaxws/jaxb binding files or additional schemas (Each <path> must have its own -b) -B<jaxbOption> Pass this option to JAXB schema compiler -catalog <file> specify catalog file to resolve external entity references supports TR9401, XCatalog, and OASIS XML Catalog format. -d <directory> specify where to place generated output files -extension allow vendor extensions - functionality not specified by the specification. Use of extensions may result in applications that are not portable or may not interoperate with other...

Takeaways

Recommendations:

• Use REST whenever you have a choice• Push notification to both iOS and

Android possible using Windows Azure worker roles

• Get a good development environment setup with Fiddler/network sniffer

Watch out for:

• Async vs Sync operation. Both iOS and Android support sync, but don’t use it!

• Very limited support for WS-* on native iOS and Android libraries

Custom: Native Client or Middle Web Tier

Pros: Complete custom solution. Can even hide fact that back end is Dynamics-based.

Cons: Limitations with SOAP client libraries for iPhone/Android. On CRM 2011, REST endpoint only provides limited CRUD.

Web Service (SOAP) endpoint uses WS-Security with Kerberos.

Scenario 3: Server

Takeaways

Recommendations:

• Think about accessing SPS/CRM three ways

• Basic Web• Packaged• Custom

• Custom is (IMO) the most interesting to customers

Watch out for:

• Mobile Web is very basic• Packaged solutions are good, but

expose whole site• Pains with SOAP libraries on devices• CRM 2011 REST interface only allows

certain CRUD operations• CRM 2011 Web Service uses WS-

Security w/ Kerberos tokens
