Consider it ignored. I believe you understand what we are using Axis for.

well insert foot.. and gently remove.
I stand corrected.
ShoppingCart is an java object.

Vince M. Clark sent the following on 3/1/2009 3:49 PM:

> You are correct, there are some services related to carts. But not any to create a cart if one doesn't exist.
>
> We are using ShoppingCartEvents just like the OFBiz ecommerce controller does. But these are not services, and it is the way OFBiz does it, so I do not understand the issue you are raising about using java objects instead of services in this isolated case. I would agree that whenever there is an available service it should be used, not circumvented.

Category Setup

In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux

I have defined a number of categories and subcategories. While browsing
categories I would like to seen subcategories only once instead I can
see them as subcategories as well as categories. Is any way to prevent
this happen?

Re: How to expose Web Service of OFBiz ?

In reply to this post by Vince Clark

I have uploaded my Axis2 Ofbiz Component. It is exporting custom ofbiz services but I hope that will serve as an example that will help other developers.

http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=6090

Bye!

So to be clear, you have deployed Axis2 as its own OFBiz component? Or are you still using the approach of deploying the war file under an existing webapp directory in another component?

A patch would be very helpful. Not sure why you think it is "nonsense." Working examples are extremely helpful to the community. Especially in new areas like this.

To submit a patch you must create an account on Jira, then create an issue and attach the patch file.

Looking forward to seeing what you have done!

Subject: Re: How to expose Web Service of OFBiz ?

Hello Jacques!

The Axis2 Ofbiz Component is simply an Ofbiz Component that has:

1. Axis2 1.4 Distribution stored in a subdirectory.
2. The Ofbiz build system is connected to Axis2 build system via an Ant
build.xml file
3. A java file that is a Web Services Facade to Ofbiz Services that want to
be exported.

So, the only code that need to be published is:
1. The java file that is a Web Services Facade to Ofbiz Services that want
to be exported.
This file contains simply a Java Class that has 1 wrapper method for
each Ofbiz Service that want to be exported. Axis2 does the job of exporting
java methods as WebServices. It's amazing!
2. The build.xml of the component that builds the java file and puts the
class file in an specific Axis2 directory

The Ofbiz community may consider to include this ready to use Axis2 Ofbiz
component that includes Axis2 Distribution and some Ofbiz Services exported
via SOAP as an example of use.

So, in this case the JIRA issue could be an idea more than code changes of
existing Ofbiz code?
How can I publish this idea as a JIRA issue?
If the community thinks that is a good idea, then I will be glad to provide
an example code (for instance 2 Ofbiz services that use complex types
exported via SOAP), the build.xml and the documentation. The example code
will be a java file that exports two Ofbiz Services that come with Ofbiz
Distribution (now I'm exporting customer specific Ofbiz Services, that is
why It's nonsense to publish this java file.)

Alfredo
