Sure i can craft the spanner . One thing that i miss is exported services in the demo trunk/stable. The demo trunk goes a long way to serve as common reference when discussing a wide range of issues , however to create test cases involving XML/SOAP we have to involve local configurations and the test scripts loose their universality. It would have been useful if it were possible to utilize the demo infra for such cases also. I guess the demo trunk is a sandbox that resets everyday probably we shall need some persistence mechanisms there for config data. regds mallah. > 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 >Priority: Major > > > The existing framework allows invoking various services via XMLRPC or SOAP > as per their argument expectations.

Hi Taher ,
Below is one of the ways to replicate it using curl

valid way of
invoking a XML-RPC service.
{{$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @working.xml

Below is an attempt to invoke calculateProductPrice by sending a struct and it
is expected to

is a part of current demo data set.
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @not-working.xml

The logic to trace from is definitely in package org.apache.ofbiz.webapp.event.XmlRpcEventHandler.

Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-10317:
-
Okay after thoroughly investigating this issue, I realized that the first step
to attempt is to create a converter from a Map to GenericValue.
So I went ahead and implemented the code, the important part of which is listed
below:
{code:java}
public static class MapToGenericValue extends AbstractConverter, GenericValue> {
public MapToGenericValue() {
super(Map.class, GenericValue.class);
}
public GenericValue convert(Map obj) throws
ConversionException {
GenericValue genericValue = new GenericValue();
genericValue.putAll(UtilGenerics.checkMap(obj));
return genericValue;
}
}{code}
The problem here of course is that the generic value is not linked to a
ModelEntity. Why? Because we don't know what is the entity. We just received
some data, we did not receive an actual Object. So if you run my above code,
you will get an error:
{code:java}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: [GenericEntity.getModelEntity] could not find
modelEntity for entityName null
{code}
So to convert XML-RPC data to a Java Object, we _must_ know what is the entity
name (at the very least). In our example, the entity name is "Product" whereas
the service parameter name is "product" which is not the same.
So, unless you have an idea for how to get the entity information for all
existing services that take a GenericValue, I think this issue cannot be
implemented successfully

[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-10317) Allowing XML-RPC and SOAP to pass GenericValue objects to services as IN fields
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10317?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16509981#comment-16509981 ] Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-10317: - Be careful, the word GenericEntity is a class in OFBiz :) But I think I understand what you mean. So the answer to your question is probably no. These services are expecting a very specific entity to operate on.That's why i said from the beginning that it was a pretty bad idea to include GenericServices are parameters in any service. The best solution that I can think for you is to design adapter services in the middle that talk to the target services you want to use, if we create some kind of hack (like passing the entity name in the XML-RPC call) then our converters would _only_ work for XML-RPC, which is a pretty bad design anyway. My recommendation is to close this Jira with "won't fix". The problem is not XML-RPC, the problem is badly designed services that expect or produce GenericValues. > 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 >Priority: Major > Attachments: not-working.xml, working.xml > > > > The existing framework allows invoking various services via XMLRPC or SOAP > as per their argument expectations.

Hi Taher,
Yeah it was a ambiguous term to use. can't help though owing to my limit
experience :) shall try to be more careful.
Even if we close this issue it shall bite us back when creating
inter-interoperability features like JSON based apis
etc.

would try to do the same. I already did so to keep the show running .
please feel free to take a call on this issue.
