Hi Guys,
We understand the Crosslight v2 is currently using MVC to expose its data. Is there any way we can customize the configuration for the Crosslight Framework to use WCF Data Services instead, and still take advantage of the account login/logout, push notification, data synchronization and other services? Furthermore, please let us know what security model is being used by the Web API project? While the authentication mode is "None", are the data being exposed secured? We do have a different user management and authentication strategy, can we still use the User Service for that matter?
Your advice regarding this matter is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Crosslight 2 provides a RestClient to connect to any public REST Service. You can learn more about REST Client at http://developer.intersoftpt.com/display/crosslight/Server+Data+Access.
Since WCF Data Service is actually a REST service, you can use the Crosslight Rest Client to connect to your WCF Data Service. Furthermore since WCF Data Service already support OData, you can also use QueryDescriptor to create the ODataQuery.
We opted to build our data framework, tools and services around Web API, since we believe it's give more simpler and extensible way to create a REST service. That's why in our business templates all the services that handle user management, data synchronization, entity data, etc are build using Web API controller.
You can learn more about WebAPI controller in http://developer.intersoftpt.com/display/crosslight/Accessing+Web+API+Controller.
Alternatively you can use the WCF Data Service, but ultimately you need to re-create all the services implementation in your WCF Data Service.
Hope this help.
Awesome! Well, thanks!
