Difficulty Exposing Out Of Box App via SOAP
Hello all,
I'm exploring accessing one of the out of box OFBiz applications from
another program. Specifically, at the moment I'm attempting to expose the
"storeOrder" service via SOAP by following Vincenzo Di Lorenzo's tutorial.
Here are the steps I've taken:
1) inside "applications/order/servicedef/services.xml", I've set
storeOrder's service export attribute to "true"
2) I've attempted to access the service at "
http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/storeOrder?WSDL" (slight
modification of Vincenzo's tutorial url). When I do this, I get the
following message: "Unable to obtain WSDL".
Did I miss a step? Am I hitting the wrong URL (very strong possibility)?
Also, if anyone has thoughts, advice, or links about exposing the out of box
OFBiz apps via SOAP for the purposes of external access, I'm all ears. I've
read the tutorials and have spent a lot of time going through the mailing
list archives, but I can't *quite* find anything discussing the particular
problem I'm solving (though many come close).
Basically I want to access the service layer on down (via SOAP) for an out
of box app, while creating my own GUI on top of everything (outside of
OFBiz's structure). An earlier thread on Joomla integration seems to come
closest.
Thanks for your help!

Note this patch does not conform to current trunk.
it is meant as informational.
you will have to find where this code is now in the current trunk.

Is Apache Ode or Intalio a good alternative for Shark as the workflow engine
for OFBiz? Has anyone experience in integrating these?

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
This is because, intentionnaly or not, you used a service of type engine="workflow". I can tell much more since I don't know much
about it, it was already deprecated when I discovered OFBiz 4 years ago.
Moreover, unless you are specifically interested to use the OFBiz workflow engine I'd not encourage you to use service of
engine="workflow" type.
This because the OFBiz workflow engine is quite deprecated (the Shark engine too) and in OFBiz OOTB we prefer to use the ECA
concept (for Services - SECA-, Entities -EECA- and Mails -MECA call also MCA sometimes)
As I already suggested, and BJ outlined, please try before using Webtools services tools to better understand this kind of problems

Re: Difficulty Exposing Out Of Box App via SOAP
Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
if you look at
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=processOrderWf
you will see may strings and list get returned.
errorMessage True String OUT True
errorMessageList True java.util.List OUT True
locale True java.util.Locale INOUT True
responseMessage True String OUT True
successMessage True String OUT True
successMessageList True java.util.List OUT True
timeZone True java.util.TimeZone INOUT True
userLogin True org.ofbiz.entity.GenericValue INOUT True
thus it is a complex return.

Re: Difficulty Exposing Out Of Box App via SOAP
Posted by DeAngelo Lampkin <de...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Jacques,
I've tried generating the WSDL for the "processOrderWf" service in the
"order" application, which has just one String parameter. Thus no complex
types are involved.
This doesn't work either. :( Here's the log output:

--------------- end log output ----------------------
Here is my configuration for this service:
<!-- Order processing services -->
<service name="processOrderWf" engine="workflow"
location="org.ofbiz.order" export="true" auth="false" invoke="ProcessOrder">
<description>Service for testing the workflow engine</description>
<attribute name="orderId" type="String" mode="IN" optional="false"/>
</service>
Anyone have any ideas on the problem here?
Right now, I'm looking to get the simplest possible service (processOrderWf)
in the "order" application to generate a WSDL. Could there be some
difference in the way WSDLs are generated under the applications directory
vs the framework directory (where the services I mentioned earlier are
loaded) vs the "hot-deploy" directory (where the opentaps tutorial services
are listed)? I feel like there's another missing piece for exposing SOAP
over "applications" that I'm missing and/or isn't documented.
Thanks for your help once again!

Re: Difficulty Exposing Out Of Box App via SOAP
Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
Nothing odd in these cases
This is because OFBiz deals (for now) only with simple types.
Tip : use the screen https://localhost:18443/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=ritaCCAuth to have a better grip on
this issue
If you use https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=ritaCCAuth&show_wsdl=true
You will notice a msg which explain that parameter billToEmail is a GenericValue (from ccAuthInterface) hence the WSDL can't be
generated
To deal with other types (array, class) you will have to use something like Apache Axis
In storeOrder Timestamp, at least, is the reason (it's a class not a simple type)
You should found what you need to understand and continue there
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-Soap
I agree it's not the easier part of OFBiz. This is because, as explained David in one of the message you might find from links
above, this project is mostly oriented toward business (Open For Business ;o) and those kind of stuff are very peripheral in OFBiz
You see, all is already in the dev ML...

This is very odd. I've noticed that some other services with export="true"
don't have wsdls.
For example,all the "rita" services listed in
"applications/accounting/servicedef/services_rita.xml", have export="true"
set in their service definitions out of the box. But the WSDL cannot be
reached for these either.
However, I *can* reach the services with export="true" listed in
framework/entityext/servicedef/services.xml.
Again, if anyone has any suggestions on this or notices a glaring oversight
on my part, please share!

Re: Difficulty Exposing Out Of Box App via SOAP
Posted by DeAngelo Lampkin <de...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for linked file Jacques. It was pretty enlightening. However, I'm
still having trouble getting at the storeOrder WSDL.
Just FYI, inside "storeOrder's" services.xml (under order/servicedef), I've
added export, auth, and login-required attributes and set their values
accordingly as suggested in the linked README. But again, this wasn't
enough to get the WSDL to come up via the followiing link:
http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/storeOrder?WSDL
Note however that the getPartyEmail WSDL comes up fine using
http://localhost:8080/webtools/control/SOAPService/getPartyEmail?WSDL, so
the URL structure seems valid. This leads me to believe something is wrong
with my underlying configuration of of the storeOrder service. For
reference, here's what that configuration now looks like:
" <service name="storeOrder" export="true" engine="java" validate="false"
auth="false" login-required="false"
location="org.ofbiz.order.order.OrderServices"
invoke="createOrder">"
One thing I did note in the service definition for storeOrder - it uses the
"java" engine, whereas getPartyEmail using a "simple" engine. Would this
make a difference?
Thanks again,

I suppose yes that you try all from http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=1379
Actually those are pretty basic stuff, but it may help if you did not used them yet.
