Re: Problem with Primary Key String
The interesting thing is, that when I want to update (not delete) the attribute...it works fine, but when I want delet, than it does not work, cause of th +-signs. The only difference is, that there is a hyperlink used to send the parameter (for delete) to the service. By updating the data, there is a submit-button in use. what is the difference? Why in one case it add the + signs, and in the other case, it does not? Robert G. wrote Hello, I refer i.ex. to ProductCategoryAttribute There is a primary Key named attrName (id-long-ne, but I changed to id-ne). when I safe a as attrName a String like: This String it safes the value.

Re: Problem with Primary Key String
ok, it seems, that the form data is handled different when I use a submit button instead of a hyperlink with paramer: field name=submitButton title=${uiLabelMap.CommonUpdate} widget-style=smallSubmitsubmit button-type=button//field *-- this one sends the parameter from database as they are stored...* field name=deleteLink title=${uiLabelMap.CommonEmptyHeader} widget-style=buttontext hyperlink target=deleteProductCategoryAttribute description=${uiLabelMap.CommonDelete} parameter param-name=productCategoryId/ parameter param-name=attrName/ /hyperlink /field *-- this method replaces whitepacese in a string with a +-sign.

Re: Problem with Primary Key String
mhh, I use CategoryScreens.xml ... it is a backend view, not the ecommerce. I talked about ecommerce, cause I show these values in ecommerce, but storing, updating, or deletion is done in backend...this function is allready ootb in ofbiz (on category -- attributes), so thats why i am wondering. this issue is also when I test here: https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditCategoryAttributes?productCategoryId=200 using a Attr Name which has whitespaces (like test test) than I cannot delete -- it adds the + So I think it has nothing todo with ecommerce URL handling. any more ideas? :) I get crazy, and I do not wana add an extra field for primary key, but I have to use names with whitespaces. -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Problem-with-Primary-Key-String-tp4635353p4635370.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Problem with Primary Key String
Just a comment. In all the years I've been dealing with databases, it was never considered good practice (and has always been avoided) to have a space character in any primary key, although technically it should work. It looks like you discovered an edge case in ofbiz. Even if you manage to initially get it to work, there may be other places where the problem will show up. Maybe use an underscore (_) instead, --or-- define another entity, maybe called 'attrDesc' that contains the spaced TEXT?
