Hi Eduardo,

I'm sorry that I haven't replied to this before (i've only just seen  
your mail - isn't spotlight wonderful).

I've been looking at OTRS/OpenNMS integration over the last few  
months as a side project. I initially thought that it would be simple  
as OTRS claims a SOAP interface. I ran into trouble with the OTRS end  
of things though, as SOAP::Lite by default does not produce messages  
that can be easily consumed by AXIS. I'm curious as to how you  
resolved that (or if you used the SOAP interface at all). I finally  
decided to write a new module for OTRS that produced a java-friendly  
interface to Kernel::Ticket and Kernel::Ticket::Article (properly  
typed and with accompanying WSDL) so that OTRS SOAP services could be  
simply consumed by AXIS in OpenNMS in the same way as Joed's JIRA  
implementation.

I'm curious to how you've managed to implement this. My thinking was  
that once I'd got Ticket and Article nailed, I could go on to add  
some of the OTRS ITSM objects (which could interface with OpenNMS's  
asset information). It might have been simpler to just use SMTP to  
raise the ticket and scrape ticket details back in to OpenNMS but  
that would have closed off the possibility to further integrate with  
ITSM.

As it's still a spare time activity for me, I'm still a few weeks at  
best from implementation. If you're still interested, I'll share  
details with you when I'm a bit closer to completion.

Cheers ... J
