Tag: declareService
The declareService tag adds client-side support for invoking a service request. The ID is used to register the specified service so it can be invoked with the wc.service.invoke(serviceId, parameters) function. The parameters parameter is an object map that will be passed as parameters to the service URL.

Attributes Name Required Type Description id true String The service ID. actionId true String The action identifier used to uniquely identify the action performed by this service. url true String The URL to process this service. formId false String The element ID of the form that is to be submitted to this service. validateParametersScript false jspFragment JavaScript that validates the parameters that are being passed to this request. This script must be composed by a developer. The script uses the local variable parameters which is the Object map of parameters that were passed to the service. The script can also update a local variable called valid to false to indicate that the request must be stopped. If this attribute is not specified then the parameters are always considered to be valid. validateFormScript false jspFragment JavaScript that validates the form specified by the formId.

If the errorCode property exists, then the service request is treated as a failed request. successHandlerScript false jspFragment JavaScript that is run after the successful invocation of the service request.
