This seems to be more of a simple-method problem than a service engine
one.
Basically when the call-service operation in the simple-method runs it
doesn't expand the service-name attribute's value, so this doesn't
work. The only way to do it would be to change the implementation of
that operation (pretty simply done in the CallService.java file) so
that it uses the FlexibleStringExpander on that value.

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.

Hi,
I am trying to make "common" service for my project, and i am
facing problem
using dynamic service name.
My common service has Map parameter, and then it calls required
service
using values from that Map.
Sample:
Service definition:
<service name="updateCommon" engine="simple"
location="com/codes/CommonServices.xml"
invoke="updateCommon" auth="true">
<description>Update entity - common</description>
<attribute name="entityName" type="String" mode="IN"
optional="false"/>
<attribute name="data" type="Map" mode="IN" optional="false"/>
</service>
Service:
<simple-method method-name="updateCommon" short-
description="Update
entity - common">
<!-- no problem -->
<set-service-fields
service-name="update${parameters.entityName}" map-
name="parameters.data"
to-map-name="serviceParams"/>
<!- there is problem -->
<call-service service-name="update${parameters.entityName}"
in-map-name="serviceParams">
<results-to-map map-name="result"/>
</call-service>
</simple-method>
And I want it to call service like this (let say, I pass
'GlAccount' in
entity-name parameter for updateCommon service):
<service name="updateGlAccount" default-entity-name="GlAccount"
engine="simple"
location="com/accounting/ledger/GeneralLedgerServices.xml"
invoke="updateGlAccount" auth="true">
<description>Update a GlAccount record</description>
<auto-attributes include="pk" mode="IN" optional="false"/>
<auto-attributes include="nonpk" mode="IN" optional="true"/>
</service>
I test that for "<set-service-fields ...>" tag the dynamic use of
service-name is working fine, and parameters for service
are filled correctly, but for "call service" tag it's not working. It
gives me an error saying "Cannot locate service by
name (update${parameters.entityName})".
I know to do that using service written in java, but this looks more
simply :-)
Is there some way to solve that or is there any other way to do that,
except java ?
Thanx for any advance,
Radoslav Tomko
