RESTful service to check LoginID and password?
Greetings Users and Experts,
I am trying to create RESTful service integrated with Ofbiz. My Ofbiz
RESTful service would check if client exists in PartyAndUserLogin table.
Defining business logic of what to do if-exists or if-not-exists will come
after I get this basic REST function working.
Suggestions for training material or a model of similar behaviors existing
already in Ofbiz would be greatly appreciated.
Some details;
I have done the beginner development tutorial, and also have integrated the
example of REST service;
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Export+service+using+REST
This simple 'ping' application works ok, but the implementation lacks
features that my project needs. I look at how services are invoked within
my Ofbiz, almost all my services are using Minilang. But those services
are invoked by controller.xml when the client request to a particular uri
is matched. And since the example RESTful service has *no* entries in
controller.xml containing "invoke=", I am unsure how to ask the RESTful
service to invoke a Minilang service. In the REST example code, there is a
java class that responds to client request, it is not Minilang.
I am not <yet> skilled enough with java to extend that example java class
to perform username lookup and password checking.. I have also looked at
PartyServices.java but it is not clear if that is the right model for my
needs.. Not sure if Minilang service is a good approach.. And not sure
where to look next for examples.. Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
alex

"In the REST example code, there is a
java class that responds to client request, it is not Minilang. "
If you look at how the ping service is defined, it will invoke a java
method.
But you can also point the service to invoke a minilang.
