Starting to learn ofbiz, I am following the tutorial here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide#OFBizTutorial-ABeginnersDevelopmentGuide-SecureYourApplicationbyAuthentication
Now I am in the step to make the list form of persons editable. In this step I need to create a service which will be used for auto-fields-service. Below I give the code which I have done.
In the controller.xml of my componenent I have created a requestMaps as follows:
<request-map uri="updatePracticePerson">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="service" invoke="updatePracticePerson"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="personForm"/>
<response name="error" type="view" value="personForm"/>
</request-map>
Moving now to the PracticeScreens.xml i have the following for personForm:
<screen name="personForm">
<section>
<actions>
<set field="headerItem" value="personForm"/>
<set field="titleProperty" value="PageTitlePracticePersonForm"/>
<entity-condition entity-name="Person" list="persons"/>
</actions>
<widgets>
<decorator-screen name="CommonPracticeDecorator" location="${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
<decorator-section name="body">
<label text="Person List" style="h2"/>
<include-form name="ListPersons" location="component://practice/widget/PracticeForms.xml"></include-form>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
The above includes the ListPersons from PracticeForms.xml, which I have as :
<form name="ListPersons" type="list" list-name="persons" list-entry-name="person" target="updatePracticePerson" paginate-target="personForm">
<auto-fields-service service-name="updatePracticePerson" default-field-type="edit" map-name="person"/>
<field name="partyId"><hidden/></field>
<field name="submitButton" title="Update" widget-style="smallSubmit"><submit button-type="button"/></field>
<field name="deletePracticePerson" title="Delete Person" widget-style="buttontext">
<hyperlink target="deletePracticePerson?partyId=${person.partyId}" description="${uiLabelMap.CommonDelete}" also-hidden="false"/>
</field>
<field name="submitButton" title="${uiLabelMap.CommonUpdate}"><submit button-type="button"/></field>
</form>
If you see above the ListPersons calls the service updatePracticePerson.
inside servicedef/services.xml i have the following:
<service name="updatePracticePerson" default-entity-name="Person" engine="simple"
location="component://practice/script/org/hotwax/practice/PracticeServices.xml" invoke="updatePracticePerson" auth="true">
<description>Create a Person</description>
<auto-attributes include="pk" mode="IN" optional="false"/>
<attribute name="salutation" mode="IN" type="String" optional="true"/>
<attribute name="firstName" mode="IN" type="String" optional="false"/>
<attribute name="middleName" mode="IN" type="String" optional="true"/>
<attribute name="lastName" mode="IN" type="String" optional="false"/>
<attribute name="suffix" mode="IN" type="String" optional="true"/>
</service>
In the root of my project in the file ofbiz-component.xml i have :
<service-resource type="model" loader="main" location="servicedef/services.xml"/>
this to make sure that my service is loaded.
Although all of the above seem correct to me I get the following error :
org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen [component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error rendering included form named [ListPersons] at location [component://practice/widget/PracticeForms.xml]: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error finding Service with name updatePracticePerson for auto-fields-service in a form widget (Error rendering included form named [ListPersons] at location [component://practice/widget/PracticeForms.xml]: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error finding Service with name updatePracticePerson for auto-fields-service in a form widget)
Which obviously implies that everything is not ok and there is something wrong with my service. Could you please assist on this?
Thanks in advance, gianis
