Hi All

I am using the above TMS components on my web server.  Has anyone else used them with
EWB?  xData supplies JSON.

Thanks

Not personally but what is your question ?

Are you looking at using their client-side components with EWB or do you
want their server side supply EWB compatible JSON

I want to start using EWB 2 and I need to connect to my database server.  I will be using xData on the server
which is a REST/Json framework.  I just wondered if anyone had used EWB with xData.  I understand
that you can make REST calls from EWB to a server. I have MS SQL on the server but my change to
My Sql.

Or alternatively I suppose I could probably load the EWB server.

The simple answer is that it will work just fine, but you may have to
interpret the data returned to feed it into the user interface. It
won't be hard however it gets done. Sometimes it is fiddly of course,
but that's programming for you.

In general you have have 2 options :

(1) if you simply wish to use xData JSON as it is then you need to do
your own JSON parsing on the client side (and you cannot easily use the
EWB TDataset functionality).

For example see this discussion on one way of doing this - classes you
need to create on EWB side if you want data mapped to EWB object(s):

(2) If you want to use the EWB TDataset then you need to modify JSON
that xData generates as it needs to conform to EWB specifications.

The EWB2 documentation is still being finished so the content might
slithly change but see here :
