I find simple-method easier not so much for coding convenience (which is definitely a plus) but for the ability to quickly make corrections if a value isn't being returned correctly, especially when tossing things into a black box of sorts.
simple-method would be equally as "easy" if we could just figure out why the org.ofbiz.base.util.ObjectType.loadClass will only return the cached classes as being valid. The non cached methods work when using call-bsh, but not when using call-*-method. Both operations return the same value for methodContext.getLoader() which is WebappClassLoader. But, beanshell does something with the loader itself while call-*-method searches the loader itself for the class. If this gets figured out it will be so much easier to incorporate mondrian, asterisk, and to straighten out the cart/order helper. Any tips on how to debug this further would be greatly appreciated. ,Chris --- "David E.
