OK. I'll be honest. I'm a little behind on PB releases so I'm unsure of what's possible with the current web service other than what I've picked up on video demos and newsgroups.
My web experience has been with classic ASP and calls to a highly modified web datawindow component that generates web pages/executes business logic, generates PDFs/emails etc. This has been quite successful however it seems this is not the way forward as people are expecting html grids/reports that are sortable, resizable, column dragable etc that are not possible from the web datawindow unless PB15 has some wizz bang HTML5 updatable datawindow planned that I am unaware of?
So to my real question. What is a PB web service capable of now and in PB15.
Can I get/post from a HTML page with JSON format using Rest. Any samples out there of HTML client and PB web service side?
Is it secure? How to made secure
Can i generate nested datawindow PDF reports from the webservice. Currently using Amyuni
Can I generate emails with attachments?
I don't think reports displayed as PDF in the browser are really the way forward. With PB15 will I be able to embed nested html5 datawindow reports into my web app and appear as it should. Printable and also exportable as PDF,xls etc.
Any comments will help with decisions on ways to move forward with or without PB.
Thanks Michael
