Hello Friends, In case of createShipment, during commit, eca rules are fired. These invoke updateShipment(i.e: even before commit on createShipment is complete). Update Shipment is called multiple times (You can view the log during quickShipOrder/quickDropShipOrder). Also, these rules are fired in incorrect order. These rules are updating the same shipment that is being committed by the original method. I believe this is incorrect.
I have verified the functionality of quickShipOrder/quickDropShipOrder after the changes. Let me know if there are any testcases that I need to run. Please take a look at email thread for more details. Let me know if you have questions and concerns. If we integrate the change sooner, we can avoid merge conflicts. PS: Thanks Adrian and Anil for your vote of confidence. As per your recommendation, I am posting this to dev mailing list.

I agree that the overuse of ECAs causes problems and makes the services difficult to troubleshoot. But removing them is going to be a tough sell because many in the community see it as a feature - they see it as a crude form of a workflow implementation. I have added my vote to this issue because I believe a lot of the ECAs should go away. It might help your cause to start a discussion on the dev mailing list and see if you can rally some more support for ECA removal. > Incorrect use of eca for create/updateShipment > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-4501 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4501 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Bug > Components: product > Affects Versions: Release Branch 11.04, SVN trunk > Reporter: Kiran Gawde > Attachments: OFBIZ-4501-ModifiedCreateUpdateShipmentService.patch, OFBIZ-4501-ModifiedCreateUpdateShipmentService.patch, OFBIZ-4501-ShipmentServiceXml.patch, OFBIZ-4501-ShipmentServiceXml.patch, OFBIZ-4501-ShipmentServiceXml.patch > > > createShipment service doesn't populate the facility and order info into shipment. Instead it is handled by eca rules. This is wrong. ECA rules should be used to update other objects or cause other actions and not update the object that is being committed. This makes it difficult to traverse the code. Can also cause bugs that are difficult troubleshoot. e.g: In this case, facilities are populated in shipment by method setShipmentSettingsFromPrimaryOrder, but eca rule checking for originFacilityId gets executed before it is populated. Following eca rules should be removed and instead the code should be added to create/updateshipment methods. > <!-- if new originFacilityId or destinationFacilityId, get settings from facilities --> > <eca service="createShipment" event="commit"> > <condition field-name="originFacilityId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromFacilities" mode="sync"/> > </eca> > <eca service="createShipment" event="commit"> > <condition field-name="destinationFacilityId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromFacilities" mode="sync"/> > </eca> > <eca service="updateShipment" event="commit"> > <condition-field field-name="originFacilityId" operator="not-equals" to-field-name="oldOriginFacilityId"/> > <condition field-name="originFacilityId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromFacilities" mode="sync"/> > </eca> > <eca service="updateShipment" event="commit"> > <condition-field field-name="destinationFacilityId" operator="not-equals" to-field-name="oldDestinationFacilityId"/> > <condition field-name="destinationFacilityId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromFacilities" mode="sync"/> > </eca> > <!-- if new primaryOrderId, get settings from order --> > <eca service="createShipment" event="commit"> > <condition field-name="primaryOrderId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromPrimaryOrder" mode="sync"/> > </eca> > <eca service="updateShipment" event="commit"> > <condition-field field-name="primaryOrderId" operator="not-equals" to-field-name="oldPrimaryOrderId"/> > <condition field-name="primaryOrderId" operator="is-not-empty"/> > <action service="setShipmentSettingsFromPrimaryOrder" mode="sync"/> > </eca> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
