Nicolas Malin commented on OFBIZ-293: ------------------------------------- +1, my proposition is an other improvement ;) the Martin's Solution is easier. > data import - nulling fields impossible > --------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-293 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Bug > Components: framework > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Marco Risaliti > Assignee: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > Attachments: OFBIZ-293_set-empty-strings-as-null.patch, > ofbiz-293-patch.txt, ofbiz-462-patch.txt > > > It's a copy of the old-jira issue > http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-462 Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz > ================================================= > I am on rev 5274. > data import from .xml file: empty attributes (e.g. description="") are > ignored and the field retains its former value. > Comment by Chris Juettner [04/Oct/05 01:51 PM] > This patch comments out the check for null or empty values in the data XML > file found by the EntitySaxReader. I also added an additional warning message > in case you do not want to persist empty values to the database but still > would like to know what happened. > Comment by Si Chen [04/Oct/05 01:59 PM] > Chris- > Just a comment: it's very important that a field in the entity engine is set > to null ONLY when the XML file specifically has an empty attribute (ie, > description=""). Otherwise, there's a lot of seed data that is in separate > XML files, and they could overwrite each other. > Comment by Chris Juettner [10/Oct/05 11:56 AM] [ Permlink ] > Si, > I'm not sure I understand your comment about seed data in seperate XML files > overwriting each other. Shouldn't seed data XML files be entity specific? Why > would one seed data XML file overwrite another? > Do you have any comment on what a better solution is for seed data values > that could be empty? > Thanks > Chris -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
