Good Morning,
 
I'm looking for documentation on how to run a custom function on the Server.
 
Right now, I have an in-solution web service  project (different than the DevForce project) that has a function that calls a 3rd party service. It's the only thing I use the web service for. What I'd really like to do is to call the 3rd party function on the Server (not the client) from the Devforce project.
 
Ordinarily, we could extend something, say Entity Manager or something, and call MyExtendedEntityManager.Call3rdpartyservice(); But, with DevForce, most of the objects run on the client, not the server.
 
Is there any way to do something like this?

Hi jipock,

 
I think you might be looking for invoking a server method. You can do that using InvokeServerMethod and InvokeServerMethodAsync.
 
You can find detailed information in our http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/InvokeServerMethod - DevForce Resource Center .
 
 
 
Silvio.

Indeed it is.. I didn't think to look under "Advanced Persistence".
 
Thank you very much.
