Vinay,
Here is the mini-language guide reference:
http://www.ofbiz.org/docs/minilang.html.
There is a lot that can be done within the widget action syntax. One
little trick is that the "set" operation has a "default-value" attribute
that can use the interpolation mode (ie. ${...}) to reference stored
values. This gives one a one-line if-else statement.
The use of embedded "section" elements within the "widget" element and
the use of their "condition" elements to conditionally execute the
associated actions and widget elements is also a powerful tool.
And you can make calls to screens that can be used by multiple screens.
The "use-when" attribute in forms is another powerful coding tool.
When logic that cannot be handled by the above methods is needed, I
believe that David Jones would like to see services generally used in
place of bsh files. Services can be written in either in the mini-lang
or in java.
The best way to get started, other than reading the documentation is to
look at its use in OFBiz.
