Web services for idempiere as a client

[Nicolas Micoud]

Hi,

We starting to study how we can implement web services in our idempiere instance.
Idempiere will be the client for another server.

All tutorials i have found explain how to configure idempiere for being a server.
eg: http://wiki.idempiere.org/en/Web_services , http://wiki.idempiere.org/en/NF1.0_Web_Services_Improvements

But is there something that explain how to configure idempiere as a client ; i think the term is "consume web service".

Thanks,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas

You can use axis. Create a stub using wsdl2java if you have a wsdl of the ws. And it is easy to send a message and receive an xml response.

It can be even easier. You can use Eclipse. Just click File>New>Other>Web Sevice Client, enter the path to the webservice and let eclipse generate the needed classes for you. I did this with the webservice provided by idempiere for a quick test. for this reason i created a new webservice (queryData on AD_User). heres how a sample call could look like:

ModelCRUD modelCRUD = new ModelCRUD();

modelCRUD.setServiceType("ReadUser");

ADLoginRequest aDLoginRequest = new ADLoginRequest("WebService", "WebService", "192", 11, 50004, 11, 103, 0);

ModelCRUDRequest req = new ModelCRUDRequest(modelCRUD, aDLoginRequest);

try {

ModelADServiceProxy prox = new ModelADServiceProxy("http://bea:8080/ADInterface/services/ModelADService");

WindowTabData data = prox.queryData(req);

System.out.println("Found " + data.getNumRows() + " rows");

DataField[][] fields = data.getDataSet();

for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {

for (int ii = 0; ii < fields[i].length; ii++) {

DataField field = fields[i][ii];

System.out.println(field.getColumn() + "=" + field.getVal());

}

}

} catch (Exception e) {}
