Magnolia CMS Integration Guide

Introduction

italic Note: The following Integration Guide is aimed at OFBiz Developers with a Basic Knowledge of the actual System.

Integration StepsSteps

1)

(Skip if a service.xml file is already existent) create a new service.xml file in your appication directory (i created it in an extra folder: servicedef) and add the very same to the ofbizcomponent.xml file --> e.g. by adding:

<service-resource type="model" loader="main" location="servicedef/services.xml"/>

2) open the service.xml file and add:

[...]
<!-- CMS Services -->

<service name="runCMSQuery" engine="java"
transaction-timeout="72000"
location="org.brandsparadise.cms.Magnolia"
invoke="runCMSQuery" debug="true" validate="true">
<description>Run a query on CMS and return the results</description>
<attribute mode="IN" name="query" optional="false"
type="String" />
<attribute name="queryResult" type="String" mode="OUT" optional="true"/>

</service>

[...]

(take a look at any other service.xml file on the exact layout of a service.xml file)

3) create a new src folder and load the sources via ofbiz-component.xml:

<classpath type="dir" location="src/*" />

4) Create a new package and call it any name you like (I called mine: org.brandsparadise.cms). Add a class to it (i called mine: Magnolia.java) and add something along the line of :

package org.brandsparadise.cms;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.util.Map;
import java.net.*;
import junit.framework.TestCase;

import org.ofbiz.service.DispatchContext;
import org.ofbiz.service.ServiceUtil;

/**

• Base class for OFBiz Test Tools test case implementations.
  */

public abstract class Magnolia extends TestCase {

public static final String module = Magnolia.class.getName();
public static String cmsUrl = "http://www.google.com";

/**

• runs a query on a url and return the results
  *
  */
  public static Map runCMSQuery(DispatchContext dctx, Map context) {

try {
// get Connection
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];

InputStream s;

URL url = new URL(cmsUrl + context.get("query").toString());
s = url.openStream();

int size = 0;

do

while (size != -1);

context = ServiceUtil.returnSuccess();
context.put("queryResult", result.toString());

} catch (MalformedURLException e)

catch (IOException e)

// Debug.log("Query Result: "+results.toString());
return context;
}

public static void main(String[] args)

}
