There may be a service, but depending on what data you're trying to retrieve it may be unnecessary to use. Is doing a search against the ProductCategoryRollup entity insufficient?
ProductCategory.primaryParentCategoryId is a denormalized/non-normalized field. It's denormalized because the same entry should exist in ProductCategoryRollup. It's non-normalized because ProductCategoryRollup doesn't have a rollupTypeId field to specify an importance that the "primary" part of the description depicts. Being non-normalized here is rather trivial. I'd be happy to answer your "Do I use CategoryWorker.java" question if you could answer..."For what?" --- Jonathon -- Improov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is there a service for retrieving all the child categories belonging > to a parent category?
