How does service event type work
Hi,
This is probably a basic question - but I could understand how it works.
I am looking at controller.xml file in e-commerce application. Specific line
is
<request-map uri="emailorder">
<security https="true" direct-request="false"/>
<event type="service" path="async" invoke="sendOrderConfirmation"/>
...
I see that event is of type service, so the service is invoked when the uri
is called. However what I dont understand is how are the contexts, both
dispatch context and the values context for the service IN variables, passed
in this case?
Will appreciate any pointers

Thanks Adrian for the reply.
Feel stupid now, now I recall that event handles have the house keeping
logic for the event, so for the completion of the thread the context is
built in the ServiceEventHandler.java.

All of that is handled automatically by the request handler and the
service engine. The request handler will pass the request parameters to
the service engine. The service engine will put those parameters in the
context along with some other objects, like userLogin, locale, timeZone,
etc.

if you look in
applications/order/servicedef/services.xml
for sendOrderConfirmation
which takes you eventually to the
org.ofbiz.order.order.OrderServices"
public static Map sendOrderConfirmNotification(DispatchContext ctx, Map
context) {
in short you don't have to worry about it. it is done for you and you
get it as context in the service (java)

Thanks for the reply BJ.
Not sure if I was clear in my question. I know where the service is defined,
I also know how services are called etc. But what I dont understand in this
case is where is how is the context passed? e.g every service call needs
context to be passed so in this case, who is creating the context and where,
is the question.

look for:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams
#6 Service Definitions and Implementations
then if you have a xml editor that reads the xsd files you will see choices.
usually events are in
like:
script/org/ofbiz/example/example/ExampleServices.xml
