TOPIC: Linking to Webservices

Linking to Webservices 1 year, 6 months ago #1

Evening

Is there a way to link SCTableView to Webservices ?

To be honest, I am not sure if I am even asking the right question.

What I want to be able to do is have someone enter data in one city into a database, then have a salesman in another city pull down the data so that when he is sitting in front of his customer, he can show real time data .

What is the best way to achieve this ?

Hi again Iain,

Sure, a lot of our customers are doing exactly that.

What you do is that you read data normally from your web service, then use Sensible TableView's "key-binding" method to bind all the cells to the data, and you're all set to go. For a tutorial on how key-binding works, please refer to this video tutorial: www.sensiblecocoa.com/video-tutorials/wa...inding-tutorial.html

Please tell me if you still have any more questions.

Hi Tarek

Thanks for the feedback.

I watched the tutorial last night, but will watch it again this morning.

What I still have problems with is setting up the web service to read from or post to.

I cannot seem to find anything that is simple to follow as everyone assumes you are a web service guru when it is discussed.

Do you know of any good resources that will help me find my way?

Also, this is an open source web service client application that should be of great help to you:

Hope this helps!

Hi Tarek

I was looking at this today - some of the links dont work, nor do I find it that user friendly.

What I need is a dummies guide or 101 to set this up.

Once I get that, I am good to go.

I forgot to mention Jeff LaMarche's book called "More iPhone 3 Development". There is a good chapter there called "Working with Data from the Web" which should be a great start point for you. Here is a preview of the book: books.google.com/books?id=JDGE0s_54gMC&a...ge&q&f=false
