Yes we have read the how to. The examples in it stop short of actually calling an OFBiz service. We have been able to call simple services in OFBiz like getOrderStatus and return a string.
Why are you suggesting ServiceMix? We would certainly consider it if we needed an ESB. But for what we are trying to accomplish I think we would have the same difficulties as we are having now. If you think differently please advise. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 12:58:30 AM (GMT-0700) America/Denver Subject: Re: Using Axis w/ OFBiz Did you have a look at http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-Soap Else why not ServiceMix ? Jacques From: "Vince M. Clark" <[email protected]> David - we are running Axis within the OFBiz container to have access natively to OFBiz services. We are not using OFBiz to render the UI. Basically we want to consume all the ecommerce functionality, but do it thru web services so we can build our interface using PHP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David E Jones" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 4:51:16 PM (GMT-0700) America/Denver Subject: Re: Using Axis w/ OFBiz If you're running in-container, why use web services? As for the ShoppingCartEvents.getCartObject() method... is the request you are passing to it in the web session of the user? No, it is in the web session of the SOAP service... -David On Feb 22, 2009, at 12:36 PM, atoner wrote: > > Hi. > > I am trying to expose services in OFBiz through Axis2 deployed in > the same > container.
