The second way is defined as an event in the
applications/party/webapp/partymgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml
<request-map uri="createCustomer">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="simple" path="org/ofbiz/party/user/UserEvents.xml"
invoke="createCustomer"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="viewprofile"/>
<response name="error" type="view" value="NewCustomer"/>
</request-map>
you can also create a service for it, as many services use the same
minilang methods.
and example:
<service name="createVendor" engine="simple"
location="org/ofbiz/party/party/PartyServices.xml"
invoke="createVendor" auth="true">
<description>Create Vendor Information</description>
<auto-attributes entity-name="Vendor" include="pk" mode="IN"
optional="false"/>
<auto-attributes entity-name="Vendor" include="nonpk" mode="IN"
optional="true"/>
</service>
