Question:
I do not have many detailed requirements. The goal is to create a OpenX plugin.
The plug-in would do the following:
1) for a publisher, submit a URL to our engine.
2) the return would be a category.
So I see it like this.
PHP Code
Get URL from publisher setup screen in the OpenX Globals, URI?
Send this URL to the J2EE engine. (we would need to either provide you a webservice or something HTTP restful)
The J2EE engine makes it’s determination and return a category (string)
In addition to this flow would be some simple error handling such as service not available and no category match. The PHP code would either populate an open X screen or write the category to the proper place in the data model.
What do you think?
Answer
Yes, we can implement plugins (customization) in page where publisher gives his site url and we will pass it to your J2EE Engine (which should give category string by REST or XML-RPC method) and we will show matched category in category dropdown otherwise we will show “Currently this service is not available.”.
You need to make REST or XML-RPC access method for J2EE engine so we can use that webservice to get category.
Our code implementation will take 1 day.
Let me know if you need any other things in this.
