product attributes entity --- upload xml or txt from remote website

Heidi Dehaes - Olagos
Hello,

With ofbiz release 4 is there a possibility to upload automatically a txt of
xml file on an external website anywhere with data for the product
attributes entity?

For example upload every night a txt or xml file which can be found on an
external http website and load it into the product attributes entity?

thanks,
Heidi

yes.
the way I accomplish this is a service that reads the xml and puts into
a map then call services to put in the catalog.

just code I have done for clients
The actual code for reading is in java.
it is a Service Class and code for making it use the sandbox as a timed
 process. you can find examples in ofbiz.
I read it as a text stream, since some xml files are 1 gig or bigger.
I use worker classes that have all the ofbiz stuff.

this makes it easier to write just the import code that is specific to a
file and re-use the worker classes.

the worker classes have get, set, and methods.
so as the data is read in it is put the the appropriate worker class
then a method is called to massage the data into a map and call the
services to build the categories and products, before the next element
is read in.
