Hi devs, I am trying to set this service up. <service name="createPortalPagePortlet" default-entity-name="PortalPagePortlet" engine="entity-auto" invoke="create" auth="true"> <description>Add a registered PortalPortlet to a PortalPage</description> <auto-attributes include="pk" mode="IN" optional="false"/> <auto-attributes include="nonpk" mode="IN" optional="true"/> <override name="sequenceNum" mode="OUT" optional="true"/> </service>
to create this entity: <entity entity-name="PortalPagePortlet" package-name="org.ofbiz.common.portal" title="Defines Portlets included into Portal Pages"> <field name="portalPageId" type="id-ne"></field> <field name="portalPortletId" type="id-ne"></field> <field name="sequenceNum" type="id-ne"><description>Identify the portalPortlet instance in case more copy of the same portalPortlet are present in the same portalPage</description></field> <field name="columnNum" type="numeric"></field> <field name="rowNum" type="numeric"></field> <prim-key field="portalPageId"/> <prim-key field="portalPortletId"/> <prim-key field="sequenceNum"/> </entity> It was OK before adding the sequenceNum field as PK and adding the <override>. Now what I would like to get is the sequenceNum auto-generation. But the framework tells me: Error doing entity-auto operation for entity [PortalPagePortlet] in service [createPortalPagePortlet]: org.ofbiz.service.GenericServiceException: In Service [createPortalPagePortlet] which uses the entity-auto engine with the create invoke option: could not find a valid combination of primary key settings to do a known create operation; options include: 1. a single OUT pk for primary auto-sequencing, 2. a single INOUT pk for primary auto-sequencing with optional override, 3. a 2-part pk with one part IN (existing primary pk) and one part OUT (the secdonary pk to sub-sequence, 4. all pk fields are IN for a manually specified primary key Digging into the code It seems to me that it is not possible to have the sequenceNum auto-generation in the case of a 3-parts PK. Am I correct? Any work-around? Should I switch to engine="simple" and use the code that is indicated as comment in EntityAutoEngine.java ? <make-value entity-name="ExampleItem" value-name="newEntity"/> <set-pk-fields map-name="parameters" value-name="newEntity"/> <make-next-seq-id value-name="newEntity" seq-field-name="exampleItemSeqId"/> <!-- this finds the next sub-sequence ID --> <field-to-result field-name="newEntity.exampleItemSeqId" result-name="exampleItemSeqId"/> <set-nonpk-fields map-name="parameters" value-name="newEntity"/> <create-value value-name="newEntity"/> Many thanks, Bruno
