Ensuring the Webservice is Safe

Not all X3 objects can be safely published as a webservice. Primarily, this is due to User Interface elements such as message and dialog boxes being called from the object code, requesting for user input and stopping execution.

Before publishing an object it is recommended it is checked for the prohibited variables and instructions.

A number of the UI elements have now been made webservices safe. Where UI elements are used in object code they instead write a warning to the processing report.
