Displaying a link to an external page as a "catalog"

[marcus_mock]

Hi,

I was trying to display a link to an external web page as a catalog in SRM, e.g. http://www.google.com.

This should be possible somehow, an SRM will even provide a link to go back, "return to SRM application".

I created a web service to do this. I'm not sure what Business Type of Web Service is the most appropriate. So I chose "01 Product Catalog" for the time being.

So far my call structure is very simple:

No. Parameter Parameter Value Type

10 http://www.google.com 0 URL

100 BYPASS_OUTB_HANDLER 2 Fixed Value

110 HOOK_URL 4 Return URL

When I click on that link I get the message "405. Thatu2019s an error. The request method POST is inappropriate for the URL /."

So I set the flag "use HTTP GET to call Web Service". But the error remains.

Does anyone know how to set this up?

Best regards,

Marcus

Hi Markus,

I expect that a page like google is not expecting a POST request, i.e. the POST request is used to try to submit a form or request to the server, google does not expect such a request.

Maybe try using a test catalog like that provided by Wiley or similar (http://catalog.wiley.com/marketbasket.cgi), see http://www.wiley.com/legacy/authors/apiinfo/ for more info on this.

Regards.
