I was (quickly) suggesting ServiceMix because I saw you wanted to use OFBiz services as Web Services from outside OFBiz (and not
from another OFBiz instance) and it's one of the way of doing that.
ServiceMix is not only a complete ESB but also an easy to use JBI container with ActiveMQ (JMS) integrated which offers a lot of
possibilities OOTB (as they say <<that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven
Architecture (EDA)>>)
Anyway from the discussion you had later with David I'm not sure you need it,
indeed...

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.

Did you have a look at

Else why not ServiceMix ?

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.

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...

Hi.
I am trying to expose services in OFBiz through Axis2 deployed in
the same
container. Basically I am trying to use a Symfony front-end to make
SOAP
calls to perform functions such as adding an item to a shopping cart
or
retrieving shopping cart contents. I am doing this by writing a few
(what I
thought would be) simple SOAP services in Axis to accomplish this.
But I am having a lot of problems and haven’t found much in the
mailing list
archives or on the forums which helps.
I am able to call the SOAP services, the problem is using the OFBiz
internals within the services. For instance, calling
ShoppingCartEvents.getCartObject() always returns a null pointer.
Perhaps I
am just looking in the wrong place.
Could anyone steer me in the direction of how I would go about
creating and
then adding a product/item to a shopping cart and getting its
contents?
This is the current code I have:
public String addItemToCart( String productId )
{
MessageContext msgCtx = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)
msgCtx.getProperty(
"transport.http.servletRequest" );
Locale locale = UtilHttp.getLocale(request);
ShoppingCart shoppingCart =
ShoppingCartEvents.getCartObject( request,
locale, "USD" );
return (String) shoppingCart.getOrderType();
}
Thanks!
