What is the best way to interfere with ofbiz from another application

[Michael Gawrychowski-2]

Hello everyone, we are testing ofbiz and we are trying to assess if it is
going to work for our environment. One of the main criteria is to be able
to trigger orders from 3rd party application that will communicate with
Ofbiz to do the rest of work. What is the best way to communicate with
ofbiz from the rest of the world. Is there any API available?

Thank you

Hi,

The best way I know is by exposing ofbiz services as web services which is
simply done by adding one attribute to any service definition.

Just an in-house application.

Hi Michael,

I remember the ofbiz cookbook had a section on web services. Anyway, it is really simple. Just go to any service definition and set export="true" and take it from there.

Hi Taher, I haven't had a chance to look into it yet but do you think that
it would work for inserting data into ofbiz as well?

Hi Michael,

A service can pretty much do anything you want.
