For now the DSL is intentionally simple because it is focused on most common tasks/behavior (for more complex and less common tasks you can use the dispatcher/delegator). This section provides a summary of the main methods; for a full reference please refer to the source file: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk/framework/service/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/service/engine/GroovyBaseScript.groovy

• calling services:

  Code Block
  Map runService(String serviceName, Map inputMap)

  Code Block
  Map run(Map args)

  Info
  The "run" method is implemented using named parameters and supports service calls with the following style: Code Block result = run service: 'createProduct', with: [productId: 'WG-1111']

• retrieving data

  Code Block
  EntityQuery select(...)

  Code Block
  EntityQuery from(...)

  Info

  The "select" and "from" methods can be used in the following ways: Code Block record = select().from('Product').where(productId, 'WG-1111').queryOne() // selects all the columns of the record record = from('Product').where(productId, 'WG-1111').queryOne() // same as above record = select('internalName').from('Product').where(productId, 'WG-1111').queryOne() // selects one column of the record For more details refer to the Javadocs of EntityQuery.

• modifying data:

  Code Block
  GenericValue makeValue(String entityName)

  and then call the methods on the GenericValue object (remove/store etc...)

• logging (they all accept a GString i.e. $notation):

  Code Block
  logInfo(String message)

  Code Block
  logWarning(String message)

  Code Block
  logError(String message)

• returning from the service or event (the methods simply return a Map for services or a string for events but you still have to use the "return" keyword to return the map back; when used by events the error method adds also the error message, if specified, to the request object):

  Code Block
  def success(String message)

  Code Block
  Map failure(String message)

  Code Block
  def error(String message)
