perceived lack of exportable services

[Rajesh Mallah]

Hi ,

Although there is a huge collection of services that can be utilized
for integrating OFBiz into other applications still some services
seems to be missing.

eg: a service to get Person/PartyGroup entity details using partyId  ,
or to get list of Products related to a Party in ProductRole entity

The question is what is the general process of enriching the catalog
of exportable services ? is there is a wishlist where such perceived
omissions are listed?

Rite now i am resorting to directly querying the entity datasources to
fill the gap.

Hi Rajesh. Your question is a bit too broad / general, but to take the
example of products related to a party, then a combination between a
view entity and a "performFind" service would be probably sufficient
for your needs. You can also find other search services that are
generic in that sense.

Hello List / Taher ,

Is there any service that can get the next suitable ID
to be used for creating Items of an particular entity type.

eg; duplicateProductCategory (
/webtools/control/ServiceList?sel_service_name=duplicateProductCategory )
expects us to send a productCategoryId along with oldProductCategoryId  ,
i want to generate the new unique  productCategoryId without risk of
collision.

does createSequenceValueItem help ? not sure if its fit for current problem.

I'm not sure, but you can surely look at the SequenceValueItem entity
and the services around it. You need to get a bit more familiar with
how sequence banks work.

I am mostly not sending ids and expecting system to generate
it . Only in certain web services its being asked for.

At this moment  i am generating a pseudo random sequence
consisting for some  decorative prefix (based on entityname)
and 10 random alphanumeric chars. this is being checked for
existence before being used. So far i am happy but i feel its only
a temp solution.
