Choosing between Java and Groovy
Hi,
I'am browsing the code of OFBiz and I see that the services are written
in multiple languages like Java or Groovy and even XML. Are there some
rules that help me to choose between Java and Groovy?

Groovy has significant goodies to adopt over java like easy to learn due to
java like syntax, scripting language can be use to develop services faster
than java, default packages and type casting shorten syntax makes it easy
to understand. No build and server restart require.
The only reason to use java instead is performance and accuracy, when we do
longer db operations and precise calculations then java is better
candidate. Like groovy makes some assumptions on data types and the same
applies to decimal precisions.
Additional information, bit late here but it should be helpful.

Exactly a very important point, even in production (though on the edge in this case), same with Freemarker and Minilang (deprecated in favour of Groovy)

Hi Danny,
Thank you for your response. I prefer Java rather than Groovy. But as
far as I know writing services in Java required restart the server. It
seems that choosing Groovy is better option from productivity point of view.

Hi,
you can define the engine of your service in the engine attribute or your service definition: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Service+Engine+Guide#ServiceEngineGuide-ServiceDefinitionserviceDefinition
You can choose between engine definitions configured in your serviceengine.xml: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Service+Engine+Configuration+Guide#ServiceEngineConfigurationGuide-EngineDefinitions
