Please study the existing rules structure. It is VERY flexible for handling these types of actions on prices. I just can't remember off the top of my head CUSTOM_PRICE and how it relates specifically to DEFAULT_PRICE. My guess is this specific case may not be supported, but if you look

Hi Tim, Thanks for looking into this. The problem is that "price type" is not whithin conditions at all. There are Party, Party Type, Role Type, Product Category and a bunch of others, but no "price type". So it looks like one can't build a rule based on specific price type. I want it to be "if

No, but neither of them is what OFBiz is and would require massive amounts of work and large architectural changes to get integrated. So, in all likelihood, Perst will probably never be a part of OFBiz. Cheers, Tim -- Tim Ruppert HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com o:801.649.6594 f:801.

Actually no, the Entity Engine never does object-relational mapping. There is never a mapping to an object form for data structures in OFBiz. The is the whole point of how the entity engine, service engine, form widget and other related elements are designed. OR mapping is a waste of time, so

I agree with David. I can't imagine any reason why one would trade in the relational model for an OO one. If OFBiz's performance is an issue, then maybe you should invest in a better database or faster hardware. -Adrian David E Jones wrote: Actually no, the Entity Engine never does object-re

Performance for "query" style interactions is generally worse for object databases (though looking up related data to an object is generally better, but not by much), which is one of the reasons they don't work well for many business applications and have not really caught on as much even thou
