Team,

My Question ) Whats the quickest hack to make Ofbiz services as ServiceMiz SE ?


Question asked to me )

Usecase for ServiceMiz. Answering "why you want to use ServiceMiz ". Distributed JBI ( Celtrix ) can save us lot on Roaming charges - Lot term view.

Answer )

http://www.logicblaze.com/  ( ServiceMiz and Fuse )

On the minimum front , decoupling the request ( HTTP , Wireless ) and actual service is good. Also integrating Telecom Authentication from jNetX ( Telecom Application server - SOA of telecom ) integration could be easily scritable in ServiceMiz.

We telecom company needs such functionality even if it hurts a bit on performance. Binding component for request handlers. Some of the services needs to trigger based on arrival of file ( ftp ).

ServiceMiz uses http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/DynamicRouter.html Dynamic router pattern to send servicerequest on different instances on ofbiz based on different request parametetrs. It is scriptable to implement in ServiceMIX.

e.g. We might have
ofbiz service server 1 with data for Northern India and code customized for Northern indian law. - small changes.
       ofbiz service server 2 with data from southern India
       ofbiz service server 3 with data from rest of india.


We may want to direct to different servers EVEN if the code is same. Help legal issues. Also Cost consideration , the return SMS needs to sent from NEAREST location so telecom bill is less.

Also different circles have different telecom infrastructure :) so based on the location the logic changes. e.g Sometimes we do not get XXX information if the request comes from XYZ zone, so there is lot of hacking code around.

There is lot of "dumb" reason which we need separate service integrator.

We do need cross pollination between Apache projects - Lets bank on it. Open source works on Word of mouth.

(1) ServiceMix - Fuse framework for services - James from Logicblaze might appreciate too.

IMO ServiceMix is a good alternative to Axis (and much more flexible) and would complement the Service Engine in OFBiz, but it would in no way would it be able to replace it.
