Now I have another problem also related to the context and what's avaiable at times in between requests. When a survey is encountered attached to the product being added to the cart in, addOrderItem in OrderEvents, the addorderItem service returns "survey" which then calls the ftl & groovy script that all works fine. But when the answers have been entered and the form submitted (A SurveyResponse entity is created and stored) it then calls addOrderItem again but this time the order item doesn't get added because the productId is no longer available in the context, at least that seems to be the reason. Doubtless it's related and the issue has been encountered before because besides the simple-method method-name="createSurveyResponse" in SurveyServices.xml of the content app, there's also another service createSurveyResponseAndRestoreParameters in SurveyEvents of the content app. I tried using this instead but it still doesn't work.
I can't get my head around the context and request parameters thing, if only there was some way to see what was in it at any time. The only thing I can think of is to pass the productId and other required parameters through the createSurveyResponseAndRestoreParameters or a new service based on it as INOUT so they are available on the other side of the request, have yet to try this... But there must be a better way?
