Hi all,I have a proposal and a question about entity-data-readers (seed, seed- initial, demo, ext, ext-test, ext-demo).
*Question*what is the meaning of specifying the readers in the datasource element? Is it not enough to define them and then just use them in the ofbiz-component files?
*Proposal*I would like to give more flexibility in the way data files are defined in custom (hot-deploy) ofbiz-component.xml files; for example, if I define:
<entity-resource type="data" reader-name="production" loader="main" location="data/CustomSeedData.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="test" loader="main" location="data/CustomSeedData.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="test" loader="main" location="data/CustomDemoData.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="test2" loader="main" location="data/CustomSeedData.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="test2" loader="main" location="data/CustomDemoData2.xml"/>
I would like to load them with an ant command like: ant run-install -Dreaders=test (to load CustomSeedData.xml and CustomDemoData.xml)but *without* the need to add the readers test, test2 and production into the entityengine.xml file).
The trick is the following: in the entityengine.xml file a catchall reader is added (named "default"):
<entity-data-reader name="default"/>
and then use it for all the readers referenced in ofbiz-component.xml
but not found in entityengine.xml.
I have a working patch right now, that I can cleanup and submit soon. What do you think? Jacopo
