Hi Zhang,
Would you be happy to provide some documentation on how to do this?
Many thanks,
Chris

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.

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)?

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.
Thanks,
Abdullah

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,
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.
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:

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
