Using custom delegator in simple method

[Brett]

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify the entity delegator you want
to use in a simple method instead of using the "default" delegator?

I know you can do it from a Java service but I would like to do it from a
simple method if possible.

We have an ofbiz application that uses two delegators.  The first delegator
is the default one and points to a local ofbiz database.  The second
delegator is use to access a remote ofbiz database.  Simple methods would be
very convenient for us passing data between the two databases.


Thanks,


Brett

Bret,
For this you can get the delegator objects as follows in simple method;
<create-object class-name="org.ofbiz.entity.GenericDelegator"
field="delegator1">
<create-object class-name="org.ofbiz.entity.GenericDelegator"
field="delegator1">
Need to pass the parameters constructor needs. This tag automatically call
the constructor of the class specified in the class-name attribute.

One more pointer is use <set ../> tag in simple method and in value tag you
can do all java code use ${groovy: 'post your code here'}
HTH!

You might be better off doing a call-class-method for DelegatorFactory.getDelegator(String)

Thanks both of the suggested solutions will work for me.  I think I'll try
the shorter "call-class-method" for now.
