In your service you can return any format data, because json is simple and
small, so i adopted it.
You can user json-lib  to format your java
object.

 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)?

   creationComplete="initApp()">

http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/getReverseAuctionPrice?WSDL
"
  useProxy="false">


{period}
{runMode}
{itemId}
{participants}
{newestBidTime}





flashReverseAuctionData and showError are the callback method. period
and runMode are the parameters which bind to properties of the class.

[Bindable]
private var itemId:String;
[Bindable]
private var participants:String;
...

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 ?

Have a look at XMLRPC in the faq:

If you want a more optimised communication between flex and ofbiz, you

Re: xml engine / handler

[Zhang Shiqian]

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.

Re: xml engine / handler

[Christopher Snow]

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)?

But I am not getting how are forming the url's, because in REST, urls

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

or are you using REST but not following the each url represents an object.

Re: xml engine / handler

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

Hi Abdullah,

take a look at XmlRpcEventHandler.java. We use it to call ofbiz 
services by
sending data in xml format over http (using a xmlrpc client). The 
result is

also returned in xml format.

Bilgin




  
I have no experience with flex, but xmlrpc is just a way to transport 
the data over http encoded in xml. (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

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.

Hi All,

I want to develop a flex application which will interact with ofbiz using

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,


 - all the required fields




 - all the required fields


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,

Hi Abdullah,

take a look at XmlRpcEventHandler.java. We use it to call ofbiz services 
by sending data in xml format over http (using a xmlrpc client). The 
result is also returned in xml format.

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:

Cheers,

Chris
