Can calculateProductPrice service be utilized successfully for a SOAP web service call?

[pdhingra]

I am new to Ofbiz and still learning the functionality of this open source
system. So far its been great and good to see the community support it has.
I am also in the midst of developing an App in which I need to retrieve the
prices of a variant product through SOAP web services call. I looked up the
mailing list archive and followed this trail
How-to-pass-org-apache-ofbiz-entity-GenericValue-using-XMLRPC
<http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Re-How-to-pass-org-apache-ofbiz-entity-GenericValue-using-XMLRPC-td4721139.html>
. I have two questions in this regard - • Is it still an issue where the
calculateProductPrice service will fail since there is no way to pass in
org.ofbiz.entity.GenericValue for a SOAP web service? • If the above is
still an issue, is there is any other service to retrieve prices like the
default, list and competitive prices of a given virtual or variant product
without going through the pricing rules? Having the net effect of price
rules on the list price will be ideal but for now it will be fine for me to
just get hold of prices without it.Thanks,Pavneet Dhingra

Hello pavneet,

Regarding your first question,
*Is it still an issue where the
calculateProductPrice service will fail since there is no way to pass in
org.ofbiz.entity.GenericValue for a SOAP web service?*

So Answer is, yes there is a way to send GenericValue for SOAP webservice
using SOAP envelop.
SOAP serializer and XML serializer has support to read values from Element
object and make GenericValue from it.
example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ser="http://ofbiz.apache.org/service/">
   <soapenv:Header />
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ser:calculateProductPrice>
         <map-Map>
            <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
            <ser:map-Entry>
               <ser:map-Key>
                  <ser:std-String value="login.username" />
               </ser:map-Key>
               <ser:map-Value>
                  <ser:std-String value="admin" />
               </ser:map-Value>
            </ser:map-Entry>
            <ser:map-Entry>
               <ser:map-Key>
                  <ser:std-String value="login.password" />
               </ser:map-Key>
               <ser:map-Value>
                  <ser:std-String value="ofbiz" />
               </ser:map-Value>
            </ser:map-Entry>
            <ser:map-Entry>
               <ser:map-Key>
                  <ser:std-String value="productStoreId" />
               </ser:map-Key>
               <ser:map-Value>
                  <ser:std-String value="value" />
               </ser:map-Value>
            </ser:map-Entry>
            <ser:map-Entry>
               <ser:map-Key>
                  <ser:std-String value="product" />
               </ser:map-Key>
               <ser:map-Value>
                  <ser:eeval-Product>
                     <originGeoId>value</originGeoId>
                     <shippingVolume>1.000000</shippingVolume>
                     <productName>value</productName>
                     <billOfMaterialLevel>0</billOfMaterialLevel>
                     <createdByUserLogin>system</createdByUserLogin>
                     <productId>value</productId>

 <primaryProductCategoryId>value</primaryProductCategoryId>
                     <weight>value</weight>
                     <weightUomId>value</weightUomId>
                     <isVirtual>N</isVirtual>
                     <description>value</description>
                     <internalName>value</internalName>

 <lastModifiedByUserLogin>system</lastModifiedByUserLogin>
                     <isVariant>Y</isVariant>
                  </ser:eeval-Product>
               </ser:map-Value>
            </ser:map-Entry>
         </map-Map>
      </ser:calculateProductPrice>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Here in this envelope, you have to make Product element with prefix
*eeval-* that will be read and convert to GenericValue.
For more details you can explore SoapEventHandler.java

One thing, *calculateProductPrice* should be export true to call it as
webservice.

Hi Ankush,
With your instructions, I was successful in making a SOAP web service call
to calculateProductPrice and retrieve the prices from its response. Thanks a
bunch!
