I suggest you read up on the service engine
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Service+Engine+Guide
and use a xml editor that reads the xsd for services.
if you have defined your xml file with the appropriate header this
should show what will not work.
pick any servicedef/service.xml as an example.

> <service name="updateCommon" engine="simple"

> invoke="updateCommon" auth="true">
> <description>Update entity - common</description>
> <attribute name="entityName" type="String" mode="IN"

> <attribute name="data" type="Map" mode="IN" optional="false"/>

> Service:

> <simple-method method-name="updateCommon" short-description="Update
> entity - common">
> <!-- no problem -->
> <set-service-fields
