Hi Datta,

We go for java services if there is no buit in srvice available to implement our business logic.

for eg: If you want to a string into file, there is no built in service for this then we write a java service.

It is better to prefer built in service if it is available.

Hi Datta,

I recommend you to try to develop everything in flow language, as you need to deliver your solution ASAP.

As Jab said, if there is any built in service available for a particular functionality, you can go for a custom java code.

After finish the development, I usually do a performance test and try to identify what are the bottlenecks. Usually some services performance can be increased by replacing the flow service by a java code.

Another point that you must keep in mind is that flow services are easier to maintain than java codes.

Rodrigo
