If your client application is written in Java, then check out the ExampleRemoteClient.java file in OFBiz (there are comments there about how to use it).
If you have to use SOAP (and if so, I'm sorry for your pain, there are so many better alternatives) then the easiest way is to write a custom SOAP service that lives in an OFBiz component and calls the OFBiz service when it is called, and returns the result you want in whatever flavour of SOAP you require. -David On Jan 18, 2010, at 10:21 PM, Pardeep Ruhil wrote: > > Hi, > I have a doubt regarding the support of data types provided in OFBiz for web > services.
