Services are independent pieces of logic which when placed together process many different types of business requirements. Services can be of many different types: Workflow, Rules, Java, SOAP, BeanShellGroovy, etc. A service with the type Java is much like an event where it is a static method, however with the Services Framework we do not limit to web based applications. Services require input parameters to be in a Map and the results are returned in a Map as well. This is nice since a Map can be serialized and stored or passed via HTTP (SOAP).
