not clear with services.xml

[myofbiz]

Hi
IAm
trying to start the application by following the "example" application
in webtools. but i am not clear with few things ..please somebody help
me out.. Someone suggest me if my flow which Iam following is correct.
In
ExampleForms.xml, for EditExample form, the target is "updateExample"
does it mean that on click of submit it targets this phrase
"updateExample" and flows thru controller looks for
uri="updateExample"  and there it finds the event:
<event type="service" invoke="updateExample"/> in:

<request-map uri="updateExample">
        <security https="true" auth="true"/>
        <event type="service" invoke="updateExample"/>
        <response name="success" type="view" value="EditExample"/>
        <response name="error" type="view" value="EditExample"/>
    </request-map>

it again is redirected to "EditExample" in screens and from there again to EditExample in form.

Iam not clear with the flow here Can some one explain me please
and I dint understand the servies: updateExample in services.xml

 <service name="updateExample" default-entity-name="Example" engine="entity-auto" invoke="update" auth="true">
        <description>Update a Example</description>
        <permission-service service-name="exampleGenericPermission" main-action="UPDATE"/>
        <auto-attributes include="pk" mode="IN" optional="false"/>
        <auto-attributes include="nonpk" mode="IN" optional="true"/>
        <attribute name="oldStatusId" type="String" mode="OUT" optional="false"/>
    </service>

and
where is: Example size,Example date,Another date ,Another test
mentioned in the code?? i cant find it ..but i can see it on the UI
part in Editexample


Thankyou very much

Adithi

flow parts you missing is that:
then context from the pages that targets updateExample has the info for
service.
if you look at
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices?sel_service_name=updateExample
you will see the inputs that must be in the context.
 once the service is completed it returns a string success or error the
<response acts on that return.

Note using the webtools really helps.
