Create your own custom web service in AX 2012 and host it in AOS

Creating custom service in AX 2012

 

Step 1:

Create two classes in AX. One class should instantiate other class as follows:

1st class should like this ->

 




 
 

2nd class should look like this ->

 

Step 2:

 

Right click “Services”node and click New Service.

Add the service as below:



 

Assign a service name and assign Calling class in Step 1 as Class field value in properties window.

Right click Operation node and click “Add Operation”, this will automatically show the methods under that class. Click on the “Add” tick box field in each method to publish them into service.

 

Step 3

Right click “ServiceGroups” node and click New  -> Service Group.

Add the service as below:

 

Drag and drop the Service created in Step 2 under this group node. Right Click on the service group node and select “Deploy Service Group”. This should show a success infolog like this :

 

Step 4

Open Inbound Port list form and check if the newly deployed service is added there with state Active.

Copy the WSDL URI, which is this in my case:

http://WIN-0MS26LVLE50:8101/DynamicsAx/Services/SUV_CustNameDemoGroup

 

Step 5

In VS 2010, create a new project of type Console Application. Add the Service Reference (WSDL URI) and write the code like below to consume the web service hosted by AX.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using SUV_AX2012_ConsoleAppl_CustNameDemo.SUV_CustNameDemoGroup; 

namespace SUV_AX2012_ConsoleAppl_CustNameDemo

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            SUV_CustNameDemoClient Client = new SUV_CustNameDemoClient();

            string CustName = Client.getCustName(null);

            Console.WriteLine(CustName);

            Console.ReadLine(); 

        }

    }

}

 

Step 6

Run the Code by clicking F5 or clicking the Run button. I got an out like this.
