["Rajesh Kumar Mallah (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10317?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16412515#comment-16412515 ] 

Rajesh Kumar Mallah commented on OFBIZ-10317:
---------------------------------------------

There is a  class Converters in package org.apache.ofbiz.base.conversion 
which is being consulted in the conversion attempt (and bailing out currently)

 

{{2018-03-24 15:57:07,914 |http-nio-8443-exec-2 |*Converters* |W| *** No converter found, converting from java.util.HashMap to org.apache.ofbiz.entity.Gen}}
{{ericValue. Please report this message to the developer community so a suitable converter can be created. ***}}
{{2018-03-24 15:57:07,914 |http-nio-8443-exec-2 |ObjectType |I| No type conversion available for java.util.HashMap to org.apache.ofbiz.entity.GenericVal}}
{{ue, returning original object.}}

> The existing framework allows invoking  various services via XMLRPC or SOAP 
> as per their argument expectations. However only basic types are handled
> like String , Boolean , Int etc. If a service is expecting a GenericValue eg: 'calculateProductPrice'   it is not possible to invoke it via SOAP or XMLRPC.
> The reason being SOAP or XMLRPC can support Map and that is the closest 
> it can provide in lieu of any custom Object that a Service might be expecting.
> A generic solution needs to be found so that the full potential of the plethora of 
> exportable services can be utilized by external systems that looks for integrating and 
> banking upon OfBiz via XMLRPC or SOAP.
