Hmmm, well BJ, this can be a real plumbing nightmare. I have wasted the entire day trying to track down why processCreditReturn was being run twice for the same transaction (Opentaps code). I knew fairly soon that updateReturnHeader service was the culprit, but it took a long time to track down the sequence of SECA events that caused it because one SECA was triggering another and so on. A nightmare to troubleshoot if you don't live and breath this code. There were three hundred lines of log entries involved for this single transaction and I had to go check what the service code did causing another SECA to be triggered and then on the the next and so on.
But, at least I wasn't bored.

My impression it was not received well. As can be seen by the code changes and not many comments. I believe I saw a jira that someone is adding it to the Webtools so you look up a service and the associated SECAS's should not be hard if you follow the code that loads the SECAS and figures out which one to use.
