FooShyn -
If each section represents a repeated set of fields, try using the
service-multi handler i.e. <handler name="service-multi" type="request"
class="org.ofbiz.webapp.event.ServiceMultiEventHandler"/>
Refer to
/erp-food_industry/applications/order/webapp/ordermgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml;
how this is being used,
i.e.
<request-map uri="assignItemToShipGroups">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="service-multi" invoke="assignItemShipGroup"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="SetItemShipGroups"/>
<response name="error" type="view" value="SetItemShipGroups"/>
</request-map>
Basically the ServiceMultiHanlder decomposes the request into multiple
service calls;
Hope this helps.
