Hi everyone,
I'm experimenting with a new business app in Mendix, which relies heavily on data and services in AWS. Currently I'm experimenting with various methods for integrating the two - through custom microflows.
I've looked at defining the required data sources as "Mendix Consumed Web Services", but not all AWS services come with a WSDL definition file, which seems to block me from accessing this services. Mendix 6.6 introduces the "Call REST" action, but once again I'm running into some challenges: The content of the REST request is dynamic, e.g. depending on the data to be retrieved. The "Call REST" Action's dialog allows me to construct the request header with a template, but how do I bring dynamic parameters into that template from outside the dialog box? Also, all AWS requests require dynamic authentication as part of the request parameters - at which point can I calculate the required hash and pass that into the REST request location?
What other challenges still await?
