Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-1873:
------------------------------------
I did some more research and found a library that would be a good choice for an HTML scraper: HtmlUnit - http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net. It is intended to be used for unit testing of HTML pages - which makes it ideal for interacting with forms and extracting results. It handles javascript, redirects, cookies, and more.
It uses the Apache 2.0 license so we can include it in the project.

--------------------------------------------------------------
external_services.patch is a proof of concept implementation. It still needs more work before being committed.
I created a basic service to retrieve external web pages and I also created a sample scraper - a form extraction service. It all seems to work well.
I implemented these as services so they can be used inside screen widget <actions> elements and in minilang.
The sendExternalRequest service takes the following arguments:
extRequestUrl - the external URL to invoke
extRequestType - get, post, or empty (for REST type URLs)
extRequestParams - request parameters Map
It returns extResponse - the web page (or XML document) as a String.
The getFormParametersFromExtResponse service takes the following arguments:
extResponse - The response String
formId - The id attribute to search for
formName - The form name to search for
It returns:
extResponse - The original response String
formAction - The form's action attribute
formMethod - The form's method attribute
formFields - The form's input fields Map
The idea being you could modify the contents of the formFields Map and then use the returned values in another call to sendExternalRequest.
I picture the Mashup services working like a chain - you invoke the initial request, then take the response and pass it through various scrapers and/or XML element extractors.
Comments are welcome.

------------------------------------
Jacques,
It's probably due to a jar file version conflict. Sorry, I forgot about that.
htmlunit comes with a newer version of a common*.jar file than the one in OFBiz. Find the older version jar file and delete it.

Adrian Crum updated OFBIZ-1873:
-------------------------------
Attachment: external_services.patch
Improved patch - now uses the htmlunit library. I was able to log into some public websites with this version. MySpace caused the htmlunit code to choke though.
There is an example use in the Example component - the main page logs into the hotwax demo server.
Anyone wanting to try this out will need to do some extra work. The htmlunit library must be downloaded and unzipped, then put the jar files in the framework/base/lib folder.
The htmlunit library executes slowly. I'll contact them about that.

------------------------------------
BJ,
That would be great if you could get something implemented using the htmlunit library.
Right now the patch pulls a page from the Hotwax demo site and puts it in the Example component main page.
I'd like to use it to link an OFBiz installation to the OFBiz Wiki. Help links in OFBiz could pull down wiki content and display it in the OFBiz screen. I hope to get an entire Help system implemented for Asset Maintenance using this method.
