xml engine / handler

Hi All,
I want to develop a flex application which will interact with ofbiz using xml. I just had a cursory view of xmlrpcclient & xmlserializer, has anybody done this ? what will be the best way to have ofbiz output xml ? I have seen that GenericValue can be easily converted to xml form. The request can be in xml form or can be a normal http request, but the response from ofbiz should be in xml form, for example something like this, <Orders> <Order id="1" status="Approved"/> - all the required fields <Order id="2" status="Created"/> </Orders> <Parties> <Party firstname="abc" lastname="xyz"> - all the required fields </Parties> This way we can have a flex application communicate with ofbiz using xml over http, I think flex don't understand json, so we need to go the xml way and also the benefits of xml is that with this approach ofbiz can interact with any kind of RIA technology. Thanks, Abdullah |

Hi Abdullah,
On my current project, we initially used xml-rpc using a flex xmlrpc library sent to me by Andrew Zeneski. We had tried using the new ofbiz soap implementation, but it didn't play nicely with flex. Have a look at XMLRPC in the faq: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo If you want a more optimised communication between flex and ofbiz, you can try BlazeDS: http://langhua.org/portal/portal/default/OFBiz/OFBizBlazeDSModulePortletWindow?windowstate=maximized Cheers, Chris Abdullah Shaikh wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to develop a flex application which will interact with ofbiz using > xml. > > I just had a cursory view of xmlrpcclient & xmlserializer, has anybody done > this ? what will be the best way to have ofbiz output xml ? > > I have seen that GenericValue can be easily converted to xml form. > > The request can be in xml form or can be a normal http request, but the > response from ofbiz should be in xml form, for example something like this, > > <Orders> > <Order id="1" status="Approved"/> - all the required fields > <Order id="2" status="Created"/> > </Orders> > > <Parties> > <Party firstname="abc" lastname="xyz"> - all the required fields > </Parties> > > This way we can have a flex application communicate with ofbiz using xml > over http, I think flex don't understand json, so we need to go the xml way > and also the benefits of xml is that with this approach ofbiz can interact > with any kind of RIA technology. > > > Thanks, > Abdullah > > |

Hi Chris,
I don't want to use xml-rpc but instead would like to use Flex HTTPService, I guess xml-rpc would work with HTTPService. Basic idea is to create a xml over http communication between ofbiz & any other RIA, so that we can make ofbiz communicated with flex, gwt etc. I will have a look at the link provided.

Hi Bilgin,
The client can be in any RIA technology, I need to communicate with ofbiz from flex, in this case I guess I won't be able to use xmlrpc client.

(it is like a lightweight soap) In this sense, it doesn't matter what technology is using your client application. If it is able to encode the data in properly formatted xml and send it over http (and then read the result), that would be enough. I see that there are also flex libraries for xmlrpc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC Bilgin |

I HAVE connected to ofbiz with flex using xmlrpc.

Sorry - just seen this.
The approach we currently use is having a dedicated web app in ofbiz which is used to expose ofbiz services using REST (the organisation favors REST) . We are using the jersey rest libraries. I believe our flex guy is using HTTPService to communicate with rest.

Hi Chris,
We're also a big fan of REST but have not taken time to work on a solution like you mentioned. Are you willing to share what you have done so far?

Thanks Bilgin, I will have a look at xmlrpc.

Yes, thats good to have a separate component to handle xml over http, REST
in your case. But I am not getting how are forming the url's, because in REST, urls represents a objects. For example : http://ofbiz/partymgr/party/1234 - will represent a party whose id is 1234 http://ofbiz/partymgr/party/1234/addrress/5678 - will represent the address whose id is 5678 of party 1234 I guess its difficult to have this sort of thing considering the number of functionality already build in ofbiz. or are you using REST but not following the each url represents an object.

We are not automatically exporting objects with REST.
We are exporting some services with REST. Each one has to be manually coded. It would be nice to develop a solution to automatically export objects (entities), perhaps this would be relatively trivial using the new "entity-auto" service (i.e. CRuD service)?

Ofbiz services can be exported as standard web services, you can use Flex to
call the web services. We have developed some Flex components used in our ofbiz applications run in this model, and introduced as3corelib to deal with JSON format data.

OK, you mean, ofbiz services are exposed and consumed by Flex, but that is
soap over http right ? Where does the JSON format data comes into picture ? or how the services outputs JSON data ? or am I missing something ? - Abdullah On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 7:27 AM, Zhang Shiqian <[hidden email]>wrote: > Ofbiz services can be exported as standard web services, you can use Flex > to > call the web services.

1. Apply the service-wsdl.patch to your OFBIZ copy.
2. Export your service by add "export="true" in your service definition file(services.xml), for example <service name="getReverseAuctionPrice" engine="java" export="true" location=" .... 3. In the Flex mxml file, declare the web service <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" creationComplete="initApp()"> <fx:Declarations> <s:WebService id="serviceId" wsdl=" http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/getReverseAuctionPrice?WSDL " useProxy="false"> <s:operation name="getReverseAuctionPrice" result="flashReverseAuctionData(event)" fault="showError(event)"> <s:request> <period>{period}</period> <runMode>{runMode}</runMode> <itemId>{itemId}</itemId> <participants>{participants}</participants> <newestBidTime>{newestBidTime}</newestBidTime> </s:request> </s:operation> </s:WebService> </fx:Declarations> flashReverseAuctionData and showError are the callback method. period and runMode are the parameters which bind to properties of the class. <fx:Script> [Bindable] private var itemId:String; [Bindable] private var participants:String; ... 4. Create the callback method called by Flex webservice component. private function showError(event:FaultEvent):void { Alert.show(event.fault.faultString); } 5. Call the service try { serviceId.getReverseAuctionPrice(); } catch(ex:Error) { Alert.show(ex.message); } 6. Manipulate the result private function flashReverseAuctionData(event:ResultEvent):void { var bidsData = JSON.decode(event.result.toString()); if(bidsDataStore==null ){ bidsDataStore= bidsData; }else{ //TODO } } Using as3corelib to deal with JSON format data On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Christopher Snow < [hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Zhang, > > Would you be happy to provide some documentation on how to do this? > > Many thanks, > > Chris > > > Zhang Shiqian wrote: > >> Ofbiz services can be exported as standard web services, you can use Flex >> to >> call the web services.

In your service you can return any format data, because json is simple and
small, so i adopted it. You can user json-lib <http://www.json.org/java/> to format your java object. On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 3:47 PM, Zhang Shiqian <[hidden email]>wrote: > 1.
