I ended up using the common blockingTestSvc as an eca return event which is triggered after the global ecas and gives them enough time to complete before finally allowing the test service to return

> Key: OFBIZ-3124
> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3124> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 9.04
> Reporter: Wickersheimer Jeremy
> Assignee: Scott Gray
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Release Branch 9.04, SVN trunk
>
>
> There is a problem in the test service-eca-global-event-exec which sometimes fails because the global-* eca are actually running in separate threads than the main test thread.
> Therefore it sometimes happen that service-eca-global-event-exec-assert-data gets executed befaure the needed secas had a chance to finish running.
> Here is for example the log part i get on failure (some debug lines added by me). You can see [testServiceEcaGlobalEventExecOnCommit updated SVC_SECAGC.] happens after the assert failure.

> A possible solution is to add a pause before the assert, it could be a simple hack (for now i insert a test-case with a service that just sleep for a while) but it could be useful to have this integrated in /test-suite.xsd and be able to do :
> {code:xml}
> <test-case case-name="service-eca-global-event-exec-assert-data">
> <sleep milliseconds="5000" />
> <entity-xml action="assert" entity-xml-url="component://service/testdef/data/ServiceEcaGlobalEventAssertData.xml"/>
> </test-case>
