This helps, thank you. Your example goes further than the one in the how to. 

Could you shed some light on this scenario? We want to use all the shopping 
cart functionality and are struggling with how to put all the pieces together. 
If I use OFBiz ecommerce as a guide and trace thru the code I see that from the 
ecommerce site if I click "add to cart" it calls a request map called "additem" 
in the controller. 
That request map calls the following event: 
<event type="java" path="org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.ShoppingCartEvents" 
invoke="addToCart"/> 
which is not defined as a service. So we are a bit confused as to how we can 
mimick the shopping cart functionality thru web services. 
Should we call ShoppingCartEvents.addToCart() directly from our java class in 
Axis, and then use other methods defined as services, such as 
ShoppingCartServices.getShoppingCartData() to return up the stack?

OK, I will be glad to help you, but please could you suggest me which Ofbiz 
service you want to export? 
I'm working with OpenTaps, so I don't know If OpenTaps will also have your 
web service included in their distro (OpenTaps is built upon Ofbiz??) 

Some example: 

GenericDelegator delegator = 
GenericDelegator.getGenericDelegator("default"); 
LocalDispatcher dispatcher = 
GenericDispatcher.getLocalDispatcher("default",delegator); 
GenericValue admin = null; 
try { 
admin = delegator.findByPrimaryKey("UserLogin", 
UtilMisc.toMap("userLoginId", "admin")); 
} catch (GenericEntityException e1) { 
e1.printStackTrace(); 
} 

Map result = null; 

Object[] params = { 
"login.username", un_username, 
"login.password", un_password, 
"domini", un_domini, 
.... (more params) 

"estat", un_estat, 
"ip", una_ip, 
"userLogin", admin 
}; 

try { 
result = dispatcher.runSync("put here the name of your ofbiz service", 
UtilMisc.toMap(params)); 
} catch (GenericServiceException e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 

// Now get the result using result variable 


Hope that helps!
