Thanks

Perhaps now is a good time to create a Jira issue. The implementation
details can be discussed there, POC code can be submitted as patches, etc.

Let me summarize again what we are looking to achieve and how I am
planning to go about doing it.
UtilProperties being in base gets complied and loaded first ahead of
both entity and service modules. So, as such the service and entity
classes won't be available there directly. Now the attempt is to have
a call embedded service call within the
UtilProperties.getBundle(.) method right after the lines below
Properties newProps = getProperties(resource, candidateLocale);
if (UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(newProps)) {
// The last bundle we found becomes
the parent of the new bundle
The idea is that by default a set of properties would be loaded from
the UiLabels.xml files. However, right after we should be able to
call a service to override any labels (in newProps) passing the
newProps as an argument.
So far, so good ?
Next the problem... How to configure a service call? Find the below
usage in base module
ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
Iterator cachedClassLoaders =
ServiceLoader.load(Init.class, loader).iterator();
while (cachedClassLoaders.hasNext()) {
Init cachedClassLoader = cachedClassLoaders.next();
try {
cachedClassLoader.loadClasses(loader);
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.logError(e, "Could not pre-initialize
dynamically loaded class: ", module);
}
}
So, can we write a class say UtilTenantProperties under webtools and
load that dynamically? This class can then be used to load the
appropriate delegator to query properties to override and return an
updated newProps and rest continues as before? The reason thinking of
webtools is to eventually use the webtools label manager to manage and
update the override fields into the database.
If this approach looks reasonable, I will give it a shot. I am still
unclear how the delegator behaves in a multitenant scenario but hoping
the first iteration can avoid that complexity. Welcome hints and
suggestions.

If it's something you intend to contribute to the project, then it
would be best if the current artifacts are left where they are and
then come up with some kind of configurable properties loader.
Something along the lines of using the ServiceLoader class to locate
classes that implement code to create/update Properties objects. The
UtilProperties.getProperties(String resource, Locale locale) method
could then delegate to those classes.

The factory code uses the Java ServiceLoader class, so you will need
to create a service properties file for it to load. Look in the
META-INF folder of the entity component.

Hello Ofbiz user community,

Also alternatively is there a better way to query DB (need to be

need to move there) as part of base module?

Re: Like to use Delegator in framework base
Further, believe we need one more modification to the approach. Would
need the identified UtilTenantProperties class as interface defined in
base with implementation class under webtools and linked through a
META-INF services file entry. Will that work?
On second thought this utility may be useful even in a single tenant
setup and therefore a better nomenclature might be to call it
UtilPropertiesOverride or something close. Suggestion?

Entities Id as VARCHAR
Hello all, I am wondering about the reasons behind using VARCHAR for entities Id, instead of a numeric value with autoincrement. Another thing is the naming of the primary key. For example, accommodation_class has it's primary key as "accommodation_class_id". Wouldn't it be easier just to name it "id"?

Re: OrderServices, fulfillDigitalItems with regards to subscription content associations
Interesting, we use it also, I did not notice yet, thanks...WIP... BTW we should make our own page in the wiki... Jacques From: "Justin Robinson" If I associate content directly with the product I can get my fulfillment service to run when an order is approved. But following instructions regarding Subscriptions in OFBiz from the article at http://www.amicontech.com/blog/subscriptions-in-ofbiz-and-opentaps/ If I associate the content that contains the service to run for fulfillment with a subscription, via SubscriptionResource and ProductSubscriptionResource entity associations, it never gets run because the service method 'fulfillDigitalItems' in /applications/order/src/org/ofbiz/order/order/OrderServices.java, only looks for the content related to the product not to the product's subscription. I just started on this today so if anyone has had experience with this & knows I might be missing something, even a little light would be helpful.

Re: building itemized component product listing in the cart view
Thanks for the reply. What I actually want to achieve is using the configure process to define packages of products at order time. I did look briefly at marketing packages, but it seems they must be predefined. I've got virtual products set up now with variants. But need to be able to configure packages of those variants which are defined by customer choices at order time. This can be done using a configurable as a parent product, but once choices are made and the customer adds to the cart. Only the aggregated price is shown and one item the config product not it's constituent which would be the variants under the virtual. The details of those cannot be seen and don't seem to be in the context of the show cart view. Just wondering if anyone knew where would be the best place to add this but maybe I should ask on the dev mailing list?
