-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok my perspective is from the way ofbiz does things. so there are no objects only models and entities. true in the java code using 1.5 there are objects defined but these are java type objects not ofbiz objects. The is no one entity that is the shopping cart. Shopping cart perse is a group of order Entities. For instance if you change or add items there is and ECAS that updates the grand total in the orderheader entity. if you look at the application/ordermgr/servicedef/secas.xml you will see all of them that effect the "shopping Cart" or order entities. Now there are a group of services that deal with those entities in the application/ordermgr/servicedef/services_cart.xml this group of services are define org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.ShoppingCartServices
so it would seem to me the best integration is to replace the Axis services with the services.ofbiz to call the services and events. Vince M.
