<field name="productCategoryId" title="${uiLabelMap.ProductPrimaryCategory}" widget-style="selectBox">
            <drop-down allow-empty="true">
                <entity-options entity-name="ProductCategory"  description="${categoryName} [{productCategoryId}]">
                       <entity-order-by field-name="categoryName"/>
                </entity-options>
            </drop-down>
        </field>

and following line in simple method that create the product using map newEntity.
 <set field="newEntity.primaryProductCategoryId" from-field="parameters.productCategoryId"  />

Amit,

please post this kind of messages to the user list (they are not about
developing the official OFBiz).

The correct form field definition should be:

<field name="primaryProductCategoryId"
title="${uiLabelMap.ProductPrimaryCategory}">
   <drop-down allow-empty="true">
     <entity-options entity-name="ProductCategory"
description="${categoryName} [{productCategoryId}]"
key-field-name="productCategoryId">
       <entity-order-by field-name="categoryName"/>
     </entity-options>
   </drop-down>
</field>

With this, no changes to the service will be needed.

Dear Amit;
          Jacopo is right. In ofbiz if you want to add new fields you can
add it in entitymodel.xml and it will be loaded in database. You do not need
to make any changes in services as it returns values using map.

Using code by Jacopo you can show data in your ftl file.

Thanks and Regards;
Vikash Anand.

Please *don't* send this type of message to the dev ML.

The dev ML is intended to *developing* OFBiz not to *use* it !

Thanks
