Jacques, thank for the reply.
I do understand the architecture used by OFBiz, by all accounts my
question might not have been very clear.
I am attempting to override the getCategoryMembers(.....), in a
hot-deploy component that I am writing, take a look at the service
definition below:
<service name="getProductCategoryMembers" engine="java"
location="com.gat.search.services.CategoryServices"
invoke="getCategoryMembers">
<description>Gets ProductCategoryMembers for the
category_id</description>
<attribute name="categoryId" type="String" mode="IN"/>
<attribute name="category" type="org.ofbiz.entity.GenericValue"
mode="OUT"/>
<attribute name="categoryMembers" type="java.util.Collection"
mode="OUT"/>
</service>
Within my version of com.gat.search.services.CategoryServices I am
replacing/overriding the functionality provided by the service
getProductCategoryMembers. This has all worked fine, and within
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices I can see my
new service.
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices?constraint=location@...Now getting back to my original question. I need to change what products
are displayed for any given category. I had assumed that
replacing/overriding the service called getProductCategoryMembers would
enable me to do this, but unfortunately I am still seeing the original
list of products displayed in the category in question.
Is getProductCategoryMembers the correct service to replace/override in
order to change what products are displayed for a given category ?
Kind regards
Grant Edwards
