-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Allowing XML-RPC and SOAP to pass GenericValue objects to services as IN fields
                 Key: OFBIZ-10317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10317
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: framework/webtools
    Affects Versions: 16.11.04
            Reporter: Rajesh Kumar Mallah


 

The existing framework allows invoking  various services via XMLRPC or SOAP
as per their argument expectations. However only basic types are handled
like String , Boolean , Int etc. If a service is expecting a GenericValue eg: 'calculateProductPrice'   it is not possible to invoke it via SOAP or XMLRPC.

The reason being SOAP or XMLRPC can support Map and that is the closest
it can provide in lieu of any custom Object that a Service might be expecting.
A generic solution needs to be found so that the full potential of the plethora of
exportable services can be utilized by external systems that looks for integrating and
banking upon OfBiz via XMLRPC or SOAP.
