Hello Pranay,

great work :)
Perfect for beginners like myself.

As I'm trying to write my first service, implemented with java, maybe
you could add a few words about that in your tutorial.

Maybe someone could answer a question about that:
how do I call services which need authentication (e.g.
createPartyEmailAddress from framework/party/services)?
What I'm doing:
my service requires already authentication, which works, creating
persons is no problem at all (createPerson has auth="false", which i
don't get why today, but i'm sure that's because of my limited knowledge
of ofbiz)
calling createPartyEmailAddress throws:
[  ServiceDispatcher.java:522:ERROR] Error in Service
[partyContactMechPermissionCheck]: You must be logged in to complete the
[Party contact mech permission logic] process.
a snipped of my code is below.

Thanks again for this tutorial and thanks for any answers,

Roland

--- code ---
[...]
Map createPartyEmailAddressMap = UtilMisc.toMap(
"emailAddress", context.get("emailAddress"),
"contactMechPurposeTypeId", "PRIMARY_EMAIL",
"login.username", context.get("login.username"),
"login.password", context.get("login.password"));
[...]

// create Person
Map createPersonResult = dispatcher.runSync("createPerson",
createPersonMap);
if (ServiceUtil.isError(createPersonResult)) {
return createPersonResult;
}

// create EmailAddress
createPartyEmailAddressMap.put("partyId",
createPersonResult.get("partyId"));
Map createPartyEmailAddressResult =
dispatcher.runSync("createPartyEmailAddress", createPartyEmailAddressMap);
if (ServiceUtil.isError(createPartyEmailAddressResult)) {
return createPartyEmailAddressResult;
}

createPerson has auth set to false so that new users can create
themselves. It's an exception to the standard practice.

Hello Ronald,

I hope this will be of help.
The service you are calling is createPartyEmailAddress requires
authentication so you need to send the userLogin value to it.
Something like this:

// perform actions as the system user
GenericValue userLogin =
delegator.findByPrimaryKeyCache("UserLogin", UtilMisc.toMap("userLoginId",
"system"));

input = UtilMisc.toMap("userLogin", userLogin, "emailAddress",
email, "partyId", "_NA_", "fromDate", fromDate, "contactMechPurposeTypeId",
"OTHER_EMAIL");
Map serviceResults =
dispatcher.runSync("createPartyEmailAddress", input);
if (ServiceUtil.isError(serviceResults)) {
throw new
GenericServiceException(ServiceUtil.getErrorMessage(serviceResults));
}

Thanks & Regrads

Hi Pranay,

thanks for your answer, after this mail i found my real solution:

Map createPartyEmailAddressMap =
UtilMisc.toMap(
"emailAddress", context.get("emailAddress"),
"contactMechPurposeTypeId", "PRIMARY_EMAIL",
"userLogin", context.get("userLogin")
);
userLogin holds the actual user, if I read existing code correctly.

Thanks for your help,
Roland

Hi Edson,
Your question is not clear. Please be verbose when you are asking questions.
BTW there is one zip file of source is also attached with this you can take
a reference from that.
