Minilang is excellent for much of the work that is commonly done in the service layer, especially simple create and update operations, getting lists using variables that are automatically bound from the context, checking permissions, etc. This kind of thing is very common in OFBiz, so there are numerous examples. Since you have <call-bsh> in minilang, you also have the option of using java grammar inline. There are plenty of things that are simple to do in Java that might be very difficult or impossible to do in Minilang, and in my opinion there are Minilang routines in the OFBiz distribution that appear to have gone through enough evolution, that they would be better, in the long run, ported to Java. -- James McGill Phoenix AZ
