GOAL:
Can Progress access Microsoft SharePoint Services (WSS) functionalities?
GOAL:
Can an ABL client call Microsoft SharePoint WebService?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Most of the WSS functionalities are exposed by a Windows .NET based object model and industry-standard Web Services. WSS Web Services may be consumed by Progress applications written in OpenEdge 10.x.
Because WSS is not based on the ActiveX Automation or the ActiveX models it is not possible to directly access its functionalities from 4GL, without using the Web Services. However, since the WSS servers, sites, and contents are exposed by a Windows .NET?based object model, one way to access these elements is to write a wrapper using C# or Visual Basic.NET and deploy it as a COM object that exposes the desired set of functionalities to Progress 4GL.
Contact the Progress Professional Consulting Services if you need assistance on the actual design or implementation of such a .NET COM object wrapper.
