Bruno, this is what I have so far. In the manufacturer field I want to
display the name, if the name doesn't exist as it's not required, then
it should display the id. Note that, I have the manufacturer id hard
coded, as I couldn't find a way yet to extract the value and pass it to
the service "findPartiesById". Any idea?
<form name="ListProducts" type="list" title="Products List"
default-table-style="basic-table" odd-row-style="alternate-row">
<actions>
<entity-condition entity-name="Product">
<order-by field-name="internalName" />
</entity-condition>
<service service-name="findPartiesById" result-map="myParty">
<field-map field-name="idToFind" value="10000" /> <!-- HARD CODED
THE VALUE FOR NOW -->
</service>
<set field="manufacturer" from-field="myParty" />
</actions>
<field name="internalName" title="Name">
<hyperlink target="EditProduct?productId=${productId}"
description="${internalName}" />
</field>
<field name="partyId" title="Manufacturer">
<display-entity entity-name="Party" key-field-name="partyId"
description="${manufacturerPartyId}">
<sub-hyperlink target="/partymgr/control/viewprofile"
description="${manufacturer}" target-type="content"> <!--Here I need the
description or any other field from Party -->
<parameter param-name="partyId" value="${manufacturerPartyId}"
/>
</sub-hyperlink>
</display-entity>
</field>
</form>
