Hello,
Is there any "officially" supported method for hosting a custom web service within Dynamics?
My goal is to provide a service that will act as a wrapper around certain CRM functionality, which another website could then consume to perform common actions.
For example, filling out a form on this other site might trigger a service call that would contain the logic to create a Lead.
The primary purpose here is to
- simplify access, so that the developers working on this other site would not have to have any knowledge around CRM development, but would instead only need to add a standard service reference to their pages.
- Prevent them from going nuts and adding a service reference to the standard endpoints and doing who-knows-what
I understand it would be easy enough to host another site, but it would be nice if there were a method that integrated nicely with the CRM deployment process.
i.e. an .asmx Web Resource, similar to HTML, CSS, etc. Since that does not seem possible, is there any other recommended route to take?
Thanks in advance for any help
