Hello Narayan,

Events are used for validation and conversion while services are used for
business logic like CRUD operations.
If you are a beginner in ofbiz then go to following link and try this
tutorial: -

Hi Narayan!
some of Basic differences are

1)Service returns map but, event returns String.
2)Services are loads when we restart the server.
3)we can call service inside event.But we cannot call event inside service.

Event types= java events, minilang events
Service engine types= simple, java, entity auto,interface and group

two primary tasks for events: validation and conversion using map processor
primary tasks for services: create,update,delete

Regards
Akhilesh

An event is specific local piece functionality normally used in one
place for one purpose and called from its location.

A service is a piece of functionality which can be located anywhere on
the network, is most of time used in several different places and is
called by its 'name'

In addition, in case of events you have access to HttpServletRequest and
HttpServletResponse obejcts and you can read/write whatever you want.
In case of services, you have access only to service parameters.

Hi Jacques,

One more point can be added...
In Service we can perform additional check for authentication. After
controller it will recheck for auth="true" in service.
But in Event we don't have this facility, Events are called directly form
the controller.

Hi Pankaj,

This is very specific and I wonder if we should add this to the FAQ. For instance I think there are no such use cases OOTB. How did
you cross this need?

Thanks

Jacques

The only point of confusion for me is in <event type="service"...>

In this case, an event *is* a service.

Actually I think it like that: an event which is not a service is an event
