Creating WCF RESTful Web Service and Publishing in IIS

<Creating WCF RESTful Web Service>

  1. Create New WCF Service Application (remove default IService.cs and Service.svc)
  2. Add WCF RESTful nnnService (Add > New > WCF Service > rename it to xxxService)
  3. Create new XML file (or database set)
  4.  Create Operation Contacts (WebGet or WebInvoke) in xxxIService.cs
  5. Implement IxxxService in xxxService.svc
  6. Add service EndPoint (to use webHtpbinding) in web.config
  7. Execute WCF RESTful xxxService: (right click on xxxService.svc and view in browser)

    [How to call RESTfull in C# from R]

    library(XML)
    library(RCurl)
    url <- "http://10.0.1.4:4567/PEService.svc/Loan/1000/200/3" # Save the URL of the xml file in a variable xml.url <- url # Use the xmlTreePares-function to parse xml file directly from the web xmlfile <- xmlTreeParse(xml.url) # the xml file is now saved as an object you can easily work with in R: class(xmlfile) # Use the xmlRoot-function to access the top node xmltop = xmlRoot(xmlfile) # have a look at the XML-code of the first subnodes: print(xmltop)[1:2] # To extract the XML-values from the document, use xmlSApply: xml.extracted <- xmlSApply(xmltop, function(x) xmlSApply(x, xmlValue)) # Finally, get the data in a data-frame and have a look at the first rows and columns xml.df <- data.frame(t(xml.extracted),row.names=NULL) xml.df[1:1,1:4] # XML to Dataframe xml.valueonly.df <- xmlToDataFrame(url) xml.valueonly.df
