Hello Taher, Thank you for the feedback. Yes, that is what I am doing at the moment. I had less than 48h of knowledge about ODBiz API so it was the best I could do.
I believe even that can provide benefits since you have a way to call every service in a running OFBiz instance from code. It gives you access to data and the runtime behavior. It can also be used for doing operational work. You are talking about a more advanced integration and it might be worthwhile to do that when I know how. My short to medium term goal is to build an http API on top of OFBiz . I believe without an API I think the possibilities are quite limited. I have some of the pieces in place but this will take a bit of time and investigation in the inner workings of OFBiz. Mainly how to read the xml entity and service definitions so I can make something out of those. By the way, for building a POC API what are the first services I should target? The ones that are mostly used by end users or the ones that do not depend on few/no other services. Regards, Eugen La 04.05.2020 17:22, Taher Alkhateeb a scris: > Hello Eugen, > > Great initiative!
