Currently, our Web Services support does not permit the saviing or Persistence of Business Objects.  This is scheduled for a future release.  If you use the Persistence Manager directly, and you were using IIS, you would either be using Remoting or WCF.
 
I believe that you should be able to ise WCF to perform RPC.
 
There is nothing that I know of concerning Notification Services that limits them to dealing with database changes.  Notification services for databases should not be restricted to SQL Server.  However, I don't know of, for example, any offereings yet from Oracle,

Hello everybody,

this is my first post to your community. I have recently started evaluating BOS. Yet, some questions have arisen and I need to find prompt answers:

1) If I understood correctly from the manual, the "Data Web Services" are only for read-only access. Does the same hold for WCF Services? If yes, then, the only way to create a client that reads and updates a database would be to use the PersistentManager directly? By the way, what kind of technology is used in that case?

2) RPC functions should be the only way to invoke arbitrary business logic from the server. Could such functions be somehow automatically exported as WCF services?

3) Does the notification service work only for dabatase changes or can also send notifications of custom events in my business logic? Does it require SQL Server or any RDBMS will work?

Thank you very much in advance!
