dev advice - yahoo order import service
I'm somewhat new to OfBiz, but have read the wiki, forums, and tutorials for
over a month, and have created some simple modifications to my own version.
I am looking to create a service that will import Yahoo orders (XML text as
a parameter) as OFBiz orders.
I have a plan of attack, using OFBiz 4.0's javolution sax reader to parse
the XML and cutting the needed parts from the order entry process to create
the orders. I know it is suggested to reuse code, but would the existing
order entry process and servlets be unsuitable for a SOAP service import
implementation? Would it be quicker development to omit OFBiz security in a
my custom order process or to make a dummy user with sufficient permissions
and use the existing order entry process?
I would greatly appreciate any advice on the best approach or any comments
anyone would has. I searched the forums and mailing lists but could not
find any Yahoo order import being attempted before.
BTW, I must use the OFBiz 4.0 release.

In conclusion, I was not able use BJ's solution because it involved spending
money, but I did take his advice about ebay.
To develop my solution I used code from the EntitySaxReader.java as a
template to parse Yahoo order XML. Then I used the ImportOrdersFromEbay.java
code as a template to create the order.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks BJ! I really appreciate the quick response.
I downloaded the Jar, put it in \specialpurpose\yahoo\build\lib, and went to
https://localhost:8443/yahoo/control/main but it brings up a white page with
nothing showing for the html source. Is it possible I need the other xml
configuration folders (config, entitydef, webapp, widget, build.xml, etc) or
is it possible I need the trunk version of OFBiz?
Thanks also for pointing me to the ebay special purpose application. I'll
take a look at that.

I have a yahoo realtime/email you can use. I will provide the jars and
support it if you wish.
you can download the demo
http://www.businessesnetwork.com/customerSupport/ofbiz/download/
however if you like the flow
all the orders are stored as orginal xml in folder
so if email or realtme they go to the same place.
there is a service that reads the folder and put them in the shopping cart
there is also some code in the
specialpurpose\ebay\src\org\ofbiz\ebay\ImportOrdersFromEbay.java
that will give you some ideas./
