  • 1.  Want to use MWS for a CRUD screen - any starting point?

    Want to use MWS 10.15 for a simple CRUD UI. The set up will have MSR + MWS and Custom DB using MySQL.

    Is there a good starting point?

    It's been a lot of years, but I've previously done a lot of CAF development. It's pretty straightforward -- especially if you're using portlets to front SOAP services. There also the Open UI framework for more flexibility. These should help you get started.

    Will go thru these. 

    In more modern iterations, using OData may provide a move away from SOAP.

    Just don't if you do not have a lot of CAF already. We do not recommend starting new UIs using it. If you want to have a simple UI without adding another server, use Integration Server /MSR DSPs. But for sophisticated user Interfaces most of our customers use technologies like JavaScript, Angular, NodeJS on an dedicated server.

    How do you recommend handling user authentication and authorization when using a separate dedicated server? With DSPs, Integration Server will enforce that the logged in user has all the required execute ACLs for any pages/invoked services. 

    I realize there are many ways to solve the problem, just curious what's the most common and secure approach?
