Service Interaction Question

[bsanders1979]

Is it possible to make it so that I can post data to a service without
having to encapsulate the body in a SOAP envelope? I know that the .Net
framework supports it, so it's obviously feasible. Thanks.

You can define a request map in the controller that calls an event. Here is an example of how I use this.
We have a form on our website that is static html (it is not rendered by OFiz.) But the form action calls an OFBiz URL, for example:
http://www.globalera.com/ge/control/webFormSubmit 
The controller in our custom component calls an event, which we have created as a service. Our service is mostly a wrapper that calls the createLead service.
Upon success the controller just redirects back to a thank you page on our website. So OFBiz never handles the view, just accepts the request, calls a service, and redirects.

Hope this helps.
