Error on Tax Authorities & Global GL Settings Screens

[Sharan-F]

Hi All

On the Hotwax demo I've found the same error a couple of places:

Accounting / Tax Authorities
Accounting / Global GL Settings

The following error message is displayed:

org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen [component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]: java.lang.ClassCastException: javolution.util.FastList (javolution.util.FastList)

Thanks
Sharan

[Scott Gray]

Thanks Sharan, should be fixed in rev. 687578

Regards
Scott

I have noticed while working with Catalog-Categories that the list of
top categories (parent category is null) is incorrect.

I believe that CategoryWorker.java (producing the list of top
categories) has an error;

in line 105 "CurrentProductCategoryRollup" should be replaced with
"PrimaryParentCategoryId"

What makes you believe that ?
Did you see any issues in result ?

I created a top category using UI, I checked db and found in the
ProductCategory table my newly created category with
PrimaryParentCategoryId = null as expected.
Then I created a sub-category using UI and checked db again and found in
the ProductCategory table my sub-category with PrimaryParentCategoryId
pointing to top category as expected.
After that selecting Choose Top Categories from the UI (webtools/menu
catalog/Browse Categories) I would expect to see my top category only,
but I have seen top category along with sub-category instead).

Hi Jacek

You must assign the parent category using the category rollup screen,
it is not enough to just assign the primaryParentCategoryId.

Thank you. Works perfectly.

All,

I successfully implemented  and utilized "Sample OFBiz application
implenting remote access via SOAP".
The problem I am having now is to run services (eg add new product) that
require auth. I have tried countless approaches that probably most of
them did make any sense and wondering if anybody may have any idea(s)
which way to go.

[BJ Freeman]

also look at

Every service in ofbiz is being called with DispatchContext passed as a
parameter. The service I am creating will be called thru the soap not
from ofbiz. How can I acquire the DispatchContext needed to call
LoginServices and other services? Jacek

[BJ Freeman]

guess you missed the point of the other emails.
Services in ofbiz are not Web_services.
you must create a wrapper in ofbiz then call it using SOAP.
The wrapper then will talk to ofbiz.

I was not clear; I am building a wrapper, but the wrapper has to be able
to call any ofbiz service. J

[Florin Popa]

Hello,

I am also interested in more details regarding this topic. Please let us
know what such a wrapper would actually mean?
The way I temporary solved it by now is not very nice...real axis based
web service are hosted within a separate tomcat accessing directly the
database

best regards,

Ofbiz wrapper is an ofbiz service capable to call any of ofbiz
service(s), but not being initiated or called from ofbiz framework or
application.

The following is an ofbiz wrapper that performs three tasks: login, get
description for a given product, create new product

When run from webtools (performs successfully all three tasks. when
called as a soap performs successfully login & get descriptions for a
given product. It also run thru create new product, but does not create
new product neither throw any exception(s).

Wondering Jacek
 

public static Map createLHSProduct(DispatchContext dctx, Map context) {
        GenericDelegator delegator = dctx.getDelegator();

        try {
            String productId;
            String loginuser;
            String loginpassword;
            String productType;
            String productName;

            // get the input parameter

            productId = (String) context.get("productId");
            Debug.logInfo("productId = " + productId, module);      
            loginuser = (String) context.get("loginuser");
            Debug.logInfo("loginuser = " + loginuser,
module);                    //prints to the console or console.log
            loginpassword = (String) context.get("loginpassword");
            Debug.logInfo("loginpassword = " + loginpassword,
module);            //prints to the console or console.log
            productType = (String) context.get("productTypeId");
            Debug.logInfo("productTypeId = " + productType,
module);      //prints to the console or console.log
            productName = (String) context.get("internalName");
            Debug.logInfo("internalName = " + productName, module);      
//prints to the console or console.log

// login
            context.put("login.username", loginuser);
            context.put("login.password", loginpassword);
            Map loginresult = LoginServices.userLogin(dctx, context);
            Debug.logInfo("loginresult = " + loginresult, module);      
//prints to the console or console.log

//get description for a given product
            Map queryResult = delegator.findByPrimaryKey("Product",
UtilMisc.toMap("productId", productId));
            Map result = UtilMisc.toMap("description", productId);
            if (queryResult != null) {
                result.put("description", queryResult.get("description"));
            }

//create new product
            context.remove("productId");
            context.put("productTypeId", productType);
            context.put("internalName", productName);    
            Map productresult = SimpleMethod.runSimpleService(
                    "org/ofbiz/product/product/ProductServices.xml",
                    "createProduct", dctx, context);
 
            return result;

        } catch (GenericEntityException ex) {//required if you use

        } catch (Exception ex) {//required if you use delegator in Java
            return ServiceUtil.returnError(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

[BJ Freeman]

Simple services don't provide exceptions.
They do return a Map that has error messages in it.
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=createProduct
take a look at the Out parameters
Note this is for
org/ofbiz/product/product/ProductServices.xml
and uses a map and runsync

Thank you for the tip. The return map includes  error "You must be
logged in to complete the Create an Product process." I hoped that by
calling LoginServices.userLogin.....with admin/ofbiz (second task)  I am
receiving all credentials I need to complete the task.
