run a service with the system userID

[Hans Bakker]

Hi ofbiz enthousiasts.

I checked the whole OFBiz system but could not find an example.

Did somebody succeed to run, within a minilanguage script, a service using the
'system' userid? (this loginid is in the sysadmin group) So not the logged on
user id?

In the checkout process where somebody just registered i need to sometimes run
a service which can only be run with a proper sysadmin userid.

I tried everything, replacing the userLogin GenericValue in the context,
environment, passing it to the service but the system always took the logged
on user.

anybody done that? David?

I usually do this when they are scheduled services and loaded w/ seed  
data. You can also set the user ID to run ECAs. However, when running  
a service called through a web event it will always use the logged in  
user.

Hi Andy,

thanks for your answer, I asked this because a user comes on a site, registers
and want to take out a subscription. I added a subscription service to the
content component where security obviously is needed.

however i would also like to use this service also when a new user registers
and his creditcard is found valid.

no solution for this? now i have to copy the services content and run it
without the security....duplication of code....

temporary change the userid to 'system' would be nice.....I already digged
into the minilanguage code, but not so easy stuff for me....

So, you're asking how to do this from a simple-method?

Just do an entity-one to look up the "system" UserLogin, put it in the service input context, and then use the attribute on the call-service operation to not include the user (ie explicitly set it to false).

You can see stuff about these attributes in the XSD files, or the quick reference book, or whatever, and some docs exist on them in the MiniLang Guide.
