Remote Access of OFBiz Services

[Sebastian Erler]

Hi All,

i want to set up two OFBiz instances in the following way. One Ofbiz uses specific services of the second ofbiz remotely and not its local services (for study reasons).

As far as i understand it, ofbiz services are defined in several service.xml files (i.e. OFBiz_home/applications/product/servicedef/service.xml).
There we have elements like this:

<service name="..." location"...">...</service>

Is it possible to set a service location to another running Ofbiz instance?
Or does somebody know a better way of telling Ofbiz to use a remote service(or component) of another Ofbiz?


Thanks in advance

Sebastian Erler

Hi,

you can expose the service  using export attribute.

<service name="..." location"..."   export="true">...</service>

This will expose the service as a webservice.

Hi,

ok now i have set a service to be accessible from outside. But how can i tell the OFBiz on another machine to invoke this remote service and not its local one. I think i have to set the "location" attribute of that service on the invoking OFBiz to point to the remote accessible one.
Can yout tell me how the syntax of that "pointer" should look like? (i.e. location="<a href="http://IP:Port/service">http://IP:Port/service" ?)
