Calling Ofbiz web services from a .NET client

[Per Sandved Hustad]

Hello.
I have been struggling for several days in order to call a simple Ofbiz web service from a Visual Studio 2008 C# console application. I am using the Ofbiz trunk, currently at revision 1004127. Using the http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/testSOAPScv?WSDL reference, I am able to generate a Visual Studio C# Service Reference and the call is successful, but the return value is always null. Using fiddler, I can see that the SOAP response indeed contains what looks like a valid soap response.

Reading https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=9798255 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3385, I got the impression that it is still *not* possible to call a simple Ofbiz web service from a C# client.

Am I wrong? Is there anyone out there who has managed to call Ofbiz web services (e.g. the testSOAPScv) from a Visual Studio C# app? If the answer is yes, I would be very grateful for any hints regarding how to proceed.

Regards,
  Per

Hi Per,

I would try using XML-RPC if you can find a .NET library for it.

Can you please re-open the JIRA issue?

Many thanks,

Chris
