If each field in the map needs to go to the result, then perhaps this would
work for you:
<iterate-map map="myMap" key="key" value="value">
<set field="${key}" from-field="value"/>
<field-to-result field-name="${key}"/>
<clear-field field="key"/>
<clear-field field="value"/>
</iterate-map>

Subject: Re: Simple Method Question
Why doesn't map-to-map work? Did you mean you wanted to copy every field in a
GenericValue object
to a new map? Then map-to-map will work. The resultant map is NOT a
GenericValue object, but a
plain map.
Oh, the result map.
Don't know any method to do that easily. You could write something like
map-to-result. If you want
that and you want it checked into OFBiz SVN, I think I can do that very
quickly. You check it in.
I usually just put all the fields I want to return into a map, like <set
field="someMap.fieldA"
value="Blah"/>. I then do a <field-to-result field-name="someMap"/>. That way,
I am able to return
a large set of values. I think this is the better/best practice. Like in Java
functions, you don't
see functions returning a whole chunk of values, but instead return a
collection.
