Defining a required parameter

[ian tabangay]

Hi.
I would like to ask where a parameter whose mode value is OUT and optional
value is false for the attribute element in the service xml definition
whould be defined.

like:
*<attribute name="partyList" mode="OUT" type="List"/>*


Thank you for community's assistance to a noob like me.

Hi,

Yes this is correct as by default parameters are required. If you want
to make it optional then you would have to set optional to true.

<attribute name="partyList" mode="OUT" type="List" optional="true"/>

There are plenty of examples on that in the framework, just browse thru
the services.xml definitions, and also have a look here - very good
examples http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/services.html
