I am developing a Flex application that will need to 'pull' information from an ERP system such as SAP or Peoplesoft via the clients web service.
My application will need to pass credentials & query to a Query_URL and receive the returned data. I saw a Flash Builder 4 presentation where the Adobe evangelist created a similar application using Twitter.
Insights or links to example code would be appreciated.
Tour de Flex contains some examples for making SOAP and plain old XML Web Service requests (under Data Access). This is the typical way that requests are made to a back-end ERP (or similar) system.

I don't have any code yet as I don't know where to start! I see on the web that I'd need to select
on the Access toolbar external data >> more >> data services. Then it asks to point to a xml config file. Which I don't have and would need to create. I have the connection string from a VB.net application.
sWIPConnString As String = "SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=fake3465-vip.ent.agt.bb.ca)(PORT=41521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=fictitious_service_name)));uid=APP_getinfo;pwd=thispassword;"
I'd have to convert that to an xml version. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank in advance

But those data services are not just any old plane jane web site. They are web sites that have installed, setup, and the developers of those web sites setup that data service connection. And these custom connections are NOT general web sites, and they are not general web services that many sites have. And they are not a web API written around say SOAP or some REST standard.
So unless that web site decided to adopt this Microsoft specific means and method to expose data, then you not be able to use this feature to simple connect to any old web site out of the blue. If you have a existing web site that exposes some web services? Then you have to use MSXML and consume that web data yourself. That option in Access is not some general purpose setting or feature that allows connection to any old web site - only ones that have created that web service written to the business connection options that Microsoft created.
It not clear if you planning to create some web services on the target web site (that would assume you're the developer of that web site), or you trying to consume existing web services that the given site exposes. Even in this 2nd case, those exposed web services or even REST calls has ZERO to do with the feature in Access.
so that feature is of only use for connecting to web sites that offer specific created connection based on that standard from Microsoft - it not a general web service consuming feature built into access and you can't use that feature as such.
How to make a web service call from Access? Well, it has ZERO to do with that feature. Here is a MSXML exmaple:

I have created UCMA trusted application using C# console application.
I want to monitor all Lync Users instant messaging calls (in one place) as well as store their conversations in the database via this console application.
Is it possible?.
If possible, please give an idea or any url.
UCMA trusted applications will only respond to traffic to the endpoints associated with that application so if you want to monitor all instant message traffic it would be the wrong API.
I would suggest using SIP Application API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh364644(v=office.14).aspx to create a server application. This will also require the use of MSPL documented here
As Dai has asked - is the console application a requirement or will a windows service be ok?
Try our this sample application SipSnoop it basically shows all the metadata passing throught the lync server, you can tweak around it according to your requirement.
all the tutorial videos of azure shows the data tab in mobile services but in real it is not present there.

When using the .NET backend, creating tables and custom APIs are done code first and you can't control them via the portal.
For tables start here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-dotnet-backend-windows-store-dotnet-get-started-data/
I don't see any tutorials up yet on the custom API path yet but I may have missed them.
We are planning to buy the license for SAML component from component pro but i want to make sure that it can be integrated with PHP moodle environment. We will be having ASP.Net web application which will act as IDP and user clicking on our website will transfer to Moodle PHP website which is being maintaned by other company. Its only us who will be using the Ultimate SAML component from component pro to create a SAML response and send it to them. But how can they read that SAML response without using the component pro library because the SAML response that i am sending is an object of SAMLResponse class from the library. I checked out all the sample projects and all the IDP and SP in the sample projects from component pro and all of them uses the comp pro library to create and read SAML responses. Basically i want create a SAML response using this library which can be read by SP without using the component pro library and we can have successful SSO integration. I apologies if i was not clear present my scenario.
SAML is a XML based standard. The SAMLResponse you are talking about will be marshalled to XML before the message is sent.
As long as your component and Moodle is correctly implementing SAML it doesn't matter what you are using to generate the SAML messages.
Agree with #Stefan. SAML is a protocol standard - how you implement it is irrelevant.
It's kind of like having English as a standard and the one side writes a message using Notepad and the other side reads it using Word.
Notepad != Word but because they both use English it doesn't matter.
Just a word of warning - SAML is a huge protocol - not all implementations support all sections.
My SAML plugin for moodle, based on simplesamlphp should be compatible with that IdP. Is free and many organizations are using it. https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=auth_saml
I am new to Windows Azure and I have a question.
I have:
Web site which deployed to Windows Azure - The web site manage a table (add, edit, delete). I used this guide: Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Windows Azure Web Site and SQL Database
Andorid application & iOS Application (Native Code).
Now, I want the mobile applications to get data (in JSON format) from the web site (and from the DB).
What is the best practice to do that?
I tried to create a Azure (WCF) Service (the project refrenced to the web site project) but I didn't succeded. If this is the way - Is anyone knows a good tutorial to do that?
Is there another option? Maybe from the web site itself?
Thank you very much,
Yuval
If you want to integrate with non-Microsoft technologies I suggest you take a look at the ASP.NET Web API which allows you to build REST services using content negotiation. Content negotiation allows your consumer to specify the format it requires (json, xml, ...).
To host the ASP.NET Web API in a Windows Azure Web Site you should take a look at Carlos' blog, he describes in detail what you need to do to make this work: Creating ASP.NET Web APIs on Azure Web Sites
Have you given ASP.NET Web API a look-see?
