Actually, we are also looking for similar kind of a functionality.

In one of the old post - http://www.konakart.com/forum/index.php/topic,1198.0.html
it was mentioned by 'julie' that -

In the next version we are introducing a servlet launcher where you'll be able to easily manage SSO and so obtain the functionality that you are looking for

Can any one give some information regarding the servlet launcher or some other method of achieving SSO ?
Also can in KonaKart can we programmatically and conditionally hide the login page ?

I'm not a Liferay expert I'm afraid, but I was assuming that since you have access to the Liferay Jars there could be a way of calling into Liferay.

Fair enough.. I will do check this aspect and revert if its feasible.

Also, does that mean POJO engine is used only while calling KonaKart web services ?

No.  KonaKart has engines - basically one for the storefront part (the "application") and one for the admin part (loading products etc).

To program against these you instantiate one of the various clients to these engines.  There is a POJO client (the default), RMI or SOAP.   Each implement a defined interface so you can write your code once and decide which engine to instantiate at runtime by name.

Check out the User Guide in every download package that gives you more information on these things.

I had a bird's eye view of the docs but will again read through for this info.

Thanks a lot once again

Thanks a lot guys. These are the quickest replies I have ever received on a forum. Just fabulous


We have edited 'OrderIntegrationMgr - beforeSaveOrder()' for inserting some dummy entries in KonaKart database and its working as expected. And as both of you corroborated, I am going in the right direction with regards to the place of integration


For Greg:
So what I infer is from KonaKart I can call Liferay webservices without any hitch. That means even axis is not an issue.
Also, does that mean POJO engine is used only while calling KonaKart web services ?

For Trevor:
Both KonaKart and our liferay custom portlets are running on the same webapp as you mentioned but how can I call my liferay APIs directly ? Can you please guide me for the same.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Folks,

This may be an oft repeated question/query here but still wanted some kind of a suggestion/workaround for the same.

Environment:
KonaKart-5.2.0.0 Community Edition
Liferay 6.0.5 with Tomcat 6.0.26 on MySQL

I have deployed KonaKart as a portlet in liferay and so far so good.

Now we want to open an communication channel/integration between KonaKart and our Liferay custom portlets.

For example,
On any Konakart 'Order' checkout, we need to call out liferay portlet with the 'Order' detail where in we will be doing some processing and storing the data in liferay database in a separate table.Also the checkout process will continue on Konakart's end.
This just one of many scenarios we need to handle.


Following are the options this kind of communication that we can think of -

1)Web Services
From what we have researched, it seems that web services have a axis compatibility issue.
Now does that mean Liferay webservices are not available to KonaKart or vice-versa or in both directions its not working?

2)RMI
As currently we cannot go for Enterprise Edition, this is not feasible

3)Direct Java/POJO
Can our functionality be fulfilled by using this POJO engine of Konakart?

Also, is there any other way of interation for achieving this functionality ?

Thanks for any help/hint/suggestion
