Question

How to create a web service that will get xml file with products from resource server and import it into Hybris Commerce?

Answer 1

I prefer using cronjob, because of performance issues.

Step one:

You can get xml file with rest using this example https://stackoverflow.com/a/12251265/2847159 and save it as media or temporarily.

Step two:

Create new cronjob which process that xml file and convert it to impex file.

Step three:

Start OOTB impex import cron job for processing new impex.

NOTE: If xml file little, you can directly start impex import cron job in rest service.
