Re: Using SOAP complex types with OfBiz
Hello Michael!
Have you manage to handle arrays of objects as output parameters of an ofbiz
service exported via soap?
Thank you very much!

Re: Using SOAP complex types with OfBiz
Posted by Michael Imhof <mi...@nowhow.ch>.
Please try to develop SOAP service calls step by step. It seems to me that
you're searching for
a overall solution wich I can't provide because it's too complicated (too
many classes involved and
our OfBiz version is 2years old!!).
1) Are you able to generate WSDL-Files out of ofbiz service definitions? The
generated WSDL-Files should be WS-I conformant to make sure the're working
with C++, .NET, etc Clients.
If you're not able to generate the WSDL Files, have a look at Java2WSDL from
Axis.
2) Are you able to call an ofbiz SOAP service from outside of Ofbiz?
I'm testing my SOAP services over a .NET client.
3) Are you able to call an ofbiz SOAP service with complex types?
If you reach this point and you're able to call SOAP services with complex
types, then the array
should work too. (This is only a guess because I'm far away from the current
(trunk) release
of Ofbiz).
Just try to break down the problem in smaller problems then I will be
probably able to help...
Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused.
I don't know how to relate the instructions that you provided in the first
post to accomplish the task of passing an object as a parameter with the
ones that you are pointing now to return an array of objects.
In order to return an array of objects, Should I still follow the
instructions that you provided in the first place?
If so, would you be so kind of provide an extended version of the
instructions, please?
Thank you very much

Re: Using SOAP complex types with OfBiz
Posted by Michael Imhof <mi...@nowhow.ch>.
Hi Alfredo,
we're using successfully arrays of objects in SOAP services.
The ObjectType.class in the trunk should support arrays
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1008).
This should work for simple data types. If you're using complex types then
it will be more
complicated because you have to register the BeanSerializer/BeanDeserializer
for the type.
Set a breakpoint in the method SOAPEventHandler.invoke(..) and try to
understand what
happens there...
Regards,
Michael
