BTW It helps to keep the orginal message. 1) create a view-entity 2) query the view-entity just like any other. there are a couple of ways you will find in the code. 3) Use an Ftl to create the XML output the way you want. look at the fedex template
Now the url you give to an external source to query for the xml would go to a service thru the controller to process the request. on the return through the controller your view would then present the data thru the ftl(xml format). you can wrap the ftl in a widget if you want to add more functionality. There are examples in the code for all of this if you study it. studing this helps http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Beginner's+Development+Guide+Using+Practice+Application David Gay sent the following on 12/14/2008 10:24 AM: > On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 11:50 PM, BJ Freeman <[email protected]> wrote: >> Clarification: >> you understand this is a view only. >> Not like the DB view where you can add data. > > Yes, that's fine: the use case is feeding (paginated) search results > through an XML-based form.
