Re: runSync or call directly

Always use runSync: there is a small overhead but several advantages, one the most important ones is that you just refer to the service definition and not on the actual implementation details (Java method, Minilang method etc...).

Also direct Java calls are not ECA aware and this is a very important part of 
OFBiz : its business workflow.

Hi. If I have a service written in java, why or why should I not call
another service (also written in java) directly?

-- start code --
public static Map serviceA(DispatchContext dctx, Map context) {
 ...
}

public static Map serviceB(DispatchContext dctx, Map context) {
 ...
}
-- end code --

For example, to call serviceB from serviceA, is it more advisable to access

it via
 dispatcher.runSync("serviceA", context)
or can I just call it directly like so:
 serviceB(dctx, context)


Thanks
