Adjusting the User's Authenticate Method to Read Invocation Status in HTTP Response

Add a parameter called InvocationStatus in the Authenticate method. This parameter receives an object of type ExternalServiceInvocationStatus, which we previously defined.

Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#ExternalServiceInvocationStatus) Name(#InvocationStatus) Pass(*BY_REFERENCE) Mandatory(*NULL)

And add the following code to read the status from the response object after #Request.DoGet:

* Get the request status

If (#InvocationStatus *IsNot *Null)

   #InvocationStatus.FromHttpResponse( #Request.Response )

Endif

The complete source code of the Authenticate method after the adjustments (new lines are highlighted in yellow):

Mthroutine Name(Authenticate)

   * Parameters

   Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#PRIM_DC.UnicodeString) Name(#Domain)

   Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#PRIM_DC.UnicodeString) Name(#UserName)

   Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#PRIM_DC.UnicodeString) Name(#Password)

   Define_Map For(*RESULT) Class(#PRIM_DC.UnicodeString) Name(#Result)

   Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#ExternalServiceInvocationStatus) Name(#InvocationStatus) Mandatory(*NULL) Pass(*BY_REFERENCE)

   * Variables

   Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_UriBuilder) Name(#Url)

   Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_HttpRequest) Name(#Request)

   Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_RandomAccessJsonReader) Name(#Json)

   * Setup the URL's base properties

   #COM_SELF.SetupUrlBuilder Urlbuilder(#Url)

   * Add the 'authenticate' path component

   #Url.AddPathComponent Pathcomponent('authenticate')

   * Add the form parameters

   #Url.AddQueryString( 'domain' 'syd' )

   #Url.AddQueryString( 'username' 'tony' )

   #Url.AddQueryString( 'password' 'test' )

   * Execute the HTTP request

   #Request.DoGet Url(#Url)

   * Get the authentication result

   #Json.SetSourceHttpResponse( #Request.Response )

   #Result := #Json.ReadStringWithName( 'result' )

   * Get request status

   If (#InvocationStatus *IsNot *Null)

      #InvocationStatus.FromHttpResponse( #Request.Response )

   Endif

Endroutine
