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.
Regards,

------------------------------------
Kiran,
Thank you for working on this. 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.

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 -->

<condition field-name="originFacilityId"
operator="is-not-empty"/>

mode="sync"/>
</eca>
<eca service="createShipment" event="commit">
<condition field-name="destinationFacilityId"
