How to create a REST web application using a Installer manifest

#API #CSP #Caché #InterSystems IRIS

Just like the title says, I'm attempting to find a way to create a web application that instead of serving CSP files, it uses a dispatch class.
I searched for clues in the documentation, but the CSPApplication tag seems to be exclusively for CSP file-based applications.

I'm trying to avoid implementing a workaround such as using the Invoke tag to call the Security.Applications to generate the web application but I might be forced to do so, even though it's unpleasant if I had to say...

So, is there an official way to execute this task?

Invoke is the way to go.

ClassMethod CreateWebApp(pVars, pLogLevel, tInstaller) As %Status
{
    Set Namespace=tInstaller.Evaluate("${Namespace}")
    Do tInstaller.PushNS("%SYS")
    Do ##class(Security.System).GetInstallationSecuritySetting(.security)
    If (security="None") {
        Set cspProperties("AutheEnabled") = $$$AutheUnauthenticated
    } Else {
        Set cspProperties("AutheEnabled") = $$$AutheCache // Password
    }
    Set cspProperties("NameSpace") = Namespace
    Set cspProperties("IsNameSpaceDefault") = $$$YES
    Set cspProperties("DispatchClass") = "MDX2JSON.REST"
        Set cspProperties("UseCookies") = $$$YES
    Set tSC = ##class(Security.Applications).Create("/"_Namespace, .cspProperties)
    Do tInstaller.PopNS()
    If $$$ISERR(tSC) Throw ##class(%Installer.Exception).CreateFromStatus(tSC)
    Quit $$$OK
}

And invoke with

<RunInstall Class="MDX2JSON.Installer" Method="CreateWebApp"/>

I might have to check the IRIS version, because my Caché 2018 doesn't have any traces of the DispatchClass configuration.

Can I use the ZPM client like a standalone the same way it works when using the %Installer manifest? Bu that I mean, just calling the ZPM to parse the manifest and install it without relying on the registry and the CLI for now, because all the code I want to import is already local, I just need to create a web application that uses the DispatchClass property.
