## Returns

* This function returns *VirtualEntityService*

## Examples

```javascript
userService = ormService.createService("User");
userService = ormService.createService("User",true);
userService = ormService.createService("User",true,"MyFunkyUserCache");

// Remember you can use virtual entity services by autowiring them in via our DSL
component{
  property name="userService" inject="entityService:User";
  property name="postService" inject="entityService:Post";    
}
```
