Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a powerful tool. It has many unique features that empower organisations to bridge common business challenges and technology pitfalls that would usually hinder the adoption of a CRM solution. This book sets out to enable you to harness the power of Dynamics 365 and cater to your unique circumstances. We start this book with a no-code configuration chapter and explain the schema, fields, and forms modeling techniques. We then move on to server-side and client-side custom code extensions. Next, you will see how best to integrate Dynamics 365 in a DevOps pipeline to package and deploy your extensions to the various SDLC environments. This book also covers modern libraries and integration patterns that can be used with Dynamics 365 (Angular, 3 tiers, and many others). Finally, we end by highlighting some of the powerful extensions available. Throughout we explain a range of design patterns and techniques that can be used to enhance your code quality; the aim is that you will learn to write enterprise-scale quality code.

Connecting to Dynamics 365 from other systems using OData (Java)


As we have already seen in previous recipes, accessing OData is relatively straightforward. The power of RESTful services is in their simplicity. We issue a request with a specifically formatted URL, along with some headers, to get a JSON response. In Querying Dynamics 365 Data using the Web API endpoint, recipe of Chapter 2, Client-Side Extensions, we used JavaScript to generate our GET request. However, even though Java applications follow the same mechanism, we will need to deal with authentication as we don't have an existing session to leverage.

In this recipe we will write a Java console application to connect to Dynamics 365 online and retrieve the top three accounts ordered by name. The focus of this recipe will be on how to prepare your Azure tenancy to accept calls from a Java application and how to authenticate to receive your token that will be used to issue the correct HTTP GET request to Dynamics 365.
