RE: Service Synchronization

Hmmm

Well, this semaphone attribute tag does not exist in the version I am
working with. It must have been added since I did my last svn get last
year. The problem I face is that I am in beta now for a month with the
current client and I don't think they are going to want to re-validate the
entire suite.

So, I'll do something quick and dirty as an interim.

Perhaps I'll download the latest code and see if I can retrofit it.

Doing a search for semaphore in *.* (global search), it shows many results.
Few of them are :

In framework/service/dtd/services.xsd

<xs:attribute name="semaphore" default="none">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="none"/>
<xs:enumeration value="fail"/>
<xs:enumeration value="wait"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>

In framework/service/servicedef/services.xml


<service name="purgeOldJobs" engine="java"
location="org.ofbiz.service.ServiceUtil" invoke="purgeOldJobs"
auth="true" use-transaction="false" semaphore="wait">

It has to some thing wrong with your search.

runAsync

In reply to this post by Vikas Mayur-2

I am calling dispatcher.runAsync("computeEOQRequirements", context); from
another service to start the job up asynchronously. I have code in
computeEOQRequirements that writes to stdout whenever it first starts. It
seems that it takes like 4 seconds on a fairly skookum machine for it to
begin. The same service runs like instantly when called from the Run
Service button of the Web Tools interface.

The intent is to start the job now, but have it run in it's own thread so
the UI can be interactive for what might be an hour long computation.

Is there any way to control this startup time?

Is there any way to control the thread priority of the job?

ftl refresh

In reply to this post by Vikas Mayur-2

I am in debug mode on a complex ftl file and I am currently having to stop
and restart ofbiz for every change I make. Is there some setting or
something to not cache the ftl?

Look at template at end end of cache.properties ;o)

You can call the service async w/o persisting it, like this:

dispatcher.runAsync("computeEOQRequirements", context, false);

Thanks Bilgin.

I saw that method, but didn't think that was what I was after. I'll give it
a try.

Once again, thanks Belgin. This worked a charm. Now all we need is a way
to set a lower priority on the thread.
