I am developing a web app which will be used with a barcode scanner in a warehouse. This app will potentially be used by no more than 5 people at any given time.
I am in the beginning stages of the app and for simplicity I have been using the diapi and not the deserver for this. Basically a user logs in to the diapi via a login and page and then that instance of the diapi is stored in the session (this is asp.ent MVC website). This actually works very well.
My question is this:
are there any advantageous to using the diserver over the dipapi in the instance? I find sometimes that there are certain objects that are missing from the diserver which are present in the diapi, most notably the pick list object.
I seems to me that the diapi would be faster than B1WS which would have the overhead of soap in order to make calls where this does not. At any rate I just wondered if any one could give me a specific reason why this would not work, before I get to far on this.
