using Task API to customize webMethods task management with .net client
I am providing below a step-by-step approach to use task API with .net clients which I thought would be useful to other users as I didn't find a proper documentation on this yet.
Step1:
Use the provided task API URL(http://YOURSERVER:8585/services/bizPolicy/taskDotNet) to create a web Reference(Not Service Reference) in visual studio.
Step2:
You can use the following code on your proxy object created in step1 to pass authentication information.
CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.Add( new Uri(proxy.Url), "Basic",new NetworkCredential("Administrator", "manage")); //you typically pass Administrator level permissions to create the connection and then to use most of the operations
proxy.Credentials = cache;
Step3:
Now you can start using the TASK API documentation which will be found in
Task_Engine_API_and_Service_Reference.pdf ........It has all the information about different operations that you can call from your proxy for achieving different results.
I hope this helps anybody looking to invoke Task API from .NET clients.
