[jira] [Resolved] (OFBIZ-10317) Allowing XML-RPC and SOAP to pass GenericValue objects to services as IN fields

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10317?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Taher Alkhateeb resolved OFBIZ-10317.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb

As per discussion, the issue cannot be implemented because a GenericValue is something that holds state to an existing entity in the system. Thus, passing a map through XML RPC cannot be translated to the correct GenericValue. Therefore, closing this task

> 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.
