REST CLR's

Anyone create rest clr's? I would be interested in replication steps. It's been over 6 years since we did this for soap... and I can't find the instructions we put together. Disappointed

  • Hi Travis,

    Using a CLR procedure with the REST API is not something we plan to support in TNEW. However, you are still more than able to use the REST API in your TNEW Customizations, we would likely recommend that you consider options for having your pages and customizations directly call the REST API rather than using the CLR method. 

    Right now, we are working on offering an option where you provide an endpoint hosted locally and as long as it conforms to a contract, TNEW would post data to your endpoint in a specific structure, and expect data back from your endpoint in a specific structure. That structure would be specific to the firing point of the customization.

    Thanks,

    Paul

  • Hello Paul, 

    Can you explain why there will not be any support?  I feel like these type of decisions should be made public to orgs early im the process. During our development of the new site, I was planning on updating the CLRs for rest. Now, I am basically doing another build for our many customizations. These are the decisions that cost more time and more money w/ a looming sunset date. I would have just changed my approach 1.5 years ago, if we would've known clrs would not be supported in the future. I understand the want to move the product in a specific direction, but just like tnew v7, the api needs to be compatible for orgs who have set a business practice with years of customizations. I would reconsider this decision for not supporting, but I will review our processes and digest a rewrite.
