Hi Gaurav ,
In my case i have built an backend application using by favorite
platform that communicates to OFBiz using XML/RPC .
my backend speaks to frontend using JSON and to backend
ofbiz webservices using XML/RPC.
This is one of the "options" .
Please note since XML/RPC or SOAP is language-agnostic you
could use your favorite backend tool/framework to talk to backend.
Things that i miss in this approach are:
(1) Seamless user session handling .
(2) Lack of transaction control.
( eg if you do 5 things in XML/RPC and 1 to 4 commits in DB and your
5 things fails , there is no easy way to undo/rollback 1 to 4, this
is becoz
each webservice is running in its on transaction , there is no way
to bundle
N number of webservices call in one transaction context )
pls note these are not limitation of OFBiz but of this approach.
