if you move these initial property settings to the database is fine with me, As 
long as you delete the general.properties file,  because that file does not do 
anything anymore because overridden by the database settings...

Thank you for the reminder, [~jacques.le.roux], but I want to see whether 
[~h.bak...@antwebsystems.com] can find himself in this compromise. 

I have seen some other SystemPropertyData.xml files that are also loaded at 
load-seed moment. These should move too.

I don't see  problems in changing the reader-name from *seed* to 
*seed-initial*, but I don't believe we should treat that as an exception for 
only this scenario. I don't mind if it would be applied to 
*SystemPropertyData.xml files in all components. If that can achieve consensus, 
I will work on providing one or more patch files.

Can only repeat:
simply remove the framework/common/data/CommonSystemPropertyData.xml file from 
ofbiz-component is my suggestion.
then the file general.properties is active again.

Maybe it is an acceptable solution if Hans would to change the reader-name for 
loading CommonSystemPropertyData.xml in the ofbiz-component.xml file within his 
setup from: *seed* to *seed-initial*

Thanks for you feedback Hans. Why do you prefer to disable 
CommonSystemPropertyData.xml completely over using seed-initial. I ask this 
because you created CommonSystemPropertyData.xml so maybe I miss something?

Looks like my emails about this subject did not come through
I am sorry Jacques, it still think this change solves a problem which does not 
exists. Referring to database settings we do not have in properties files is 
not justifying it. I was asking for actual examples.

Anyway if you people think it is a good idea, i am fine but would like to 
propose to disable the file framework/common/data/CommonSystemPropertyData.xml 
completely and just use it as an example how to use systemproperties.
So even not use it for initial seed. Then the general.properties gets active 
again and is not confusing for new users.

Hans

I think Wai has properly and thoroughly answered the business value concern. If 
nobody adds anything I'll do the change Kongrath suggested in this issue 
description in few days.

This was not an easy thing to spot when I committed for OFBIZ-7112, because the 
seed aspect was already decided by
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=1238993
and
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision=1238998

Seeing this solution from a customer's point of view may seem counter-intuitive.
As previously suggested, I think using a separate readerName such as 'seed' and 
'seed-initial' for such a file would be a good idea and have it loaded when it 
is actually required as a separate step.

Wai commented on OFBIZ-7754:


A property value can be empty.  It is the same as commenting out a property.  
In such a case, a default value in ofbiz code would be used.

"...But is it required? Please give me a number of examples where this is 
needed. As far as I can see a properties value always has content either Y/N or 
False/True or a value"

>>>A sample case in which an issue would result is if nothing is a valid 
value for a property.  In such a scenario, if the user wants to set the 
database-based version of the property to nothing, the code would proceed to 
get a value from the file-based counterpart. Which is not what is desired.

"...Further, anybody just starting with the system will try to change the most 
important properties file 'general.properties' and will see no result"

>>>It should be noted that the database-based version of property is a 
special case.  Generally, a user using ofbiz in single tenant mode would be 
using the file-based properties.  In such a situation, the user should not have 
loaded the database-base version into the database.
>>>And if seed data for database-based properties need to be loaded, it 
should be customized according to the user's requirements.  In other words, 
those properties that are not required should be edited out before seeding.

Wai commented on OFBIZ-7754:


Regarding property values:

A property can have both a value or empty. 'empty' simply means that a property 
is commented out or present but contain an empty value.  If the value is empty, 
then a default value would be that coded in the software.

Ofbiz modes:

I think we need to consider ofbiz in the 1)single tenant mode and 2) 
multitenant mode.
In single tenant mode, ofbiz should only be using the properties files.  Using 
the database to store similar properties would be redundant.  If the owner 
wished to change the properties, one would just modify the relevant properties 
file.


Methods of deployment:

I can think of a few methods of ofbiz deployment.

Deployment#1) owner of ofbiz(in single tenant mode) is also the user

In such a setup. The user would not require a database version of property 
files. The owner can simply modify the appropriate files.

Deployment#2) owner of ofbiz(in single tenant mode) is a provider of ofbiz 
service to  paid users.

In such a setup, multiple instances of ofbiz is run on separate 
ports(perhaps in separate virtual machines).  Each ofbiz instance is assigned 
to a paid user.
Hence, a database equivalent of changeable properties is placed in the 
database associated with each paid user.  This would allow the owner to simply 
modify the property values tailored to each paid user. Based on the previous 
comments, it seems the paid user is able to load seed data himself.

Note#1: I believe this is the original intent of why a database version of 
properties was created.  In such a scenario, if the database property is 
missing or contains an empty value for a given paid user, ofbiz would fallback 
on the value of the file-based property value.
Note#2: The peculiar interaction between the file-based property and the 
database-based property as it was coded (ie. before my patch) is as follows. 
The peculiar aspect is useCase#3. why have a database-based property if it is 
not going to override the file-based version. Hence, if database-based property 
has an empty value then it is meant to be empty (and thus use the hardcoded 
default in ofbiz code).  As mentioned in the section "Regarding property 
values" above. it is possible to have a property that contains an empty value. 
it is the same as commenting out the property in the file.

Deployment#3) owner of ofbiz(in multitenant mode) is a provider of ofbiz 
service to paid users.

In such a setup, one instance of ofbiz is serving multiple paid users. Each 
paid user accesses his assigned database via the one instance of ofbiz.  Each 
database would contain it's own property values and the paid user has access 
and is responsible for configuring his own property values.  The properties 
that are available for the paid user to modify is determined by the ofbiz owner.

The interaction between database-based property and file-based property is 
as follows. Notice that if a database-entry is present, its value(or lack 
thereof) would always override that of the file-based version.

here it shows that we always need a business reason for the change. This issue 
is a nice example that is trying to provide a solution for a technical problem 
for which i do not see a business reason.

I have no actual ideas why Wai suggested this patch, but it could be related 
with tenants. I'll ask him and other interested about that because your smart 
"NULL-FIELD" solution Arun does not cope with this problematic, nor Hans's 
alike proposition to "properties file set to blank".

Hello [~hansbak]

I agree with you. We can put values in SystemProperty with empty value to keep 
a reference of available properties and can override it in future whenever 
required from DB directly. Also, if there is empty value in DB,  then system 
should check in properties file for getting its default value if any.

If user forcefully wants to override value with empty then we can add support 
of  *'NULL-FIELD'* as we use in xml. For example:
{code}

{code}

Hans Bakker commented on OFBIZ-7754:


After more thought I would like to question the whole implementation of  
OFBIZ-7112.

As far as i understood it, it was initiated because it was not possible to set 
a properties value to 'blank' or Empty, sure, accepted that is true. (although 
set in the properties file set to blank would be a solution?)
But is it required? Please give me a number of examples where this is needed. 
As far as I can see a properties value always has content either Y/N or 
False/True or a value.

Further, anybody just starting with the system will try to change the most 
important properties file  'general.properties' and will see no result.

then as Kongrath (we call him Joe) mentioned an upgrade will be much more 
difficult if you set your parameters in general.properties or even worse set 
them in the DB and they get overwritten and sure should not be seed.

So my proposal: please revert this change in OFBIZ-7112 it causes far more 
problems than it solves.

I agree Kongrath, seed-initial  seems the best option
