Creating an accounting transaction from a plugin?

[Sach Shah]

Hi All,

I am just starting out in OfBiz and have been going through the
documentation and mailing list here.

I am at the point where I was able to add fields to the AcctgTrans entity
using a plugin.  Now, I want to do two things:

1. Expose a few different RESTful web services to a client.  I saw the the
Apache Wink technique is deprecated.  Is there a recommended way of doing
this?

2. When a request is received, I need to do things like creating a new
invoice/payment, creating an accounting transaction to simply move money
between accounts, etc.  I know I can take those actions from the OfBiz UI.
However, how do I do so programmatically from a plugin?

Thank you for your help,
Sachin.

Hello, Sachin.

In this mail thread <http://markmail.org/message/w3vagy5u7xw7wsio>, Mandeep
answered about  how to integrate OFBiz-Services
into some frontend, this might help you with the first thing.

Just in case you missed it while going through the mailing list here :)

Thank you Aishwary.  I will take a look at RestEasy.  Do you know where I
can look in the manual for how to invoke services through Java code?

Invoking services using Java is pretty easy in ofbiz,
all you need to do is import org.ofbiz.service.DispatchContext in your java
class,
it has two methods for invoking services i.e "runSync" and "runAsync".
You can refer OfBiz's code only to see how things work,
like in PartyServices.java, InventoryServices.java etc.
