Please see my amendments inline: I think thsi may help you,please let me
know:
Well, let me sum this up (I am really hoping that somebody could hint me to
my mistake in this logic). I did the following:
1) I added the following to the controller:
<request-map uri="createCategoryI18nAndRollup">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="service" invoke="createCategoryI18nAndRollup"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="categories"/>
</request-map>
2) I added the following to my service_groups.xml file:
<group name="createCategoryI18nAndRollup" send-mode="all" >
<invoke name="createCategoryI18n" mode="sync"
result-to-context="true"/>
<invoke name="createCategoryRollupI18n" mode="sync"/>
</group>
<invoke name="createCategoryRollupI18n" mode="async"/>
3) I added the following to the service xml file:
<service name="createCategoryI18n" default-entity-name="ProductCategory"
engine="entity-auto" invoke="create" auth="true">
<description>Create a Category</description>
<permission-service
service-name="exampleGenericPermission"
main-action="CREATE"/>
<auto-attributes include="pk" mode="OUT"
optional="false"/>
<auto-attributes include="nonpk" mode="INOUT"
optional="true"/>
<override name="productCategoryId"
optional="false"/>
</service>
<service name="createCategoryRollupI18n"
default-entity-name="ProductCategoryRollup" engine="entity-auto"
invoke="create" auth="true">
<description>Create a Category Rollup</description>
<permission-service
service-name="exampleGenericPermission"
main-action="CREATE"/>
<auto-attributes include="pk" mode="INOUT"
optional="false"/>
<auto-attributes include="nonpk" mode="IN"
optional="true"/>
</service>
<auto-attributes include="pk" mode="INOUT"
optional="true"/>
<service name="createCategoryI18nAndRollup" engine="group"
location="createCategoryI18nAndRollup" invoke="" auth="true">
<description>Creates a WorkEffort entity and
WorkEffortAssoc</description>
</service>
4) I added the following form:
<form name="test" target="createCategoryI18nAndRollup" type="single" >
<!-- Create Category -->
<field name="productCategoryId" title="">
<display/>
</field>
<field name="productCategoryTypeId" >
<hidden value="QUICKADD_CATEGORY" />
</field>
<!-- Add ParentRollup -->
<field name="fromDate" >
<date-time type="timestamp" default-value="${nowTimestamp}"/>
</field>
<field name="parentProductCategoryId"
title="${uiLabelMap.FormFieldTitle_parentCategoryId}"
tooltip="tooltip-text">
<drop-down allow-empty="false" current-description=""
current="selected" no-current-selected-key="guys" >
<entity-options description="${categoryName}"
key-field-name="productCategoryId"
entity-name="ProductCategoryRollupAndChild">
<entity-constraint name="parentProductCategoryId"
operator="equals" value="bproot"/>
<entity-order-by field-name="categoryName"/>
</entity-options>
</drop-down>
</field>
<field name="submitButton" title="${uiLabelMap.CommonAdd}"><submit
button-type="button"/></field>
</form>
With all of the above I want to:
a) create a new ProductCategory
b) Create a new ProductCategoryRollup, where the parentProductCategoryId and
the fromDate is specified in the form
I really don't think that I got it ALL wrong, I just think that there might
be a mistake in my logic that I simply cannot grasp...
Thanks
