Hi, Thanks, I think this is what I need. I wrote an application which diagrams PostgreSQL databases and creates SVG maps of table pk and fk dependencies...it graphically shows what needs to be modified in which order versus primary/foreign key dependencies. I'm thinking of ways to extend it to basically click on a table or key icon and have it locate not only the key dependencies of the database, but also the XML file providing that data. Not sure yet I can do it, but this is promising. I'll try to use the hot-deploy with various versions of the component-loader XML files to test. ----- Original Message -----From: Mike <mz4whee...@gmail.com>To: user <user@ofbiz.apache.org>Sent: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 07:39:02 -0000 (UTC)Subject: Re: loadDefault Source Code
Here is the sequence as I understand it. Ofbiz first loads: ./framework/base/config/component-load.xml, which has: <load-components parent-directory="framework"/> <load-components parent-directory="themes"/> <load-components parent-directory="applications"/> <load-components parent-directory="specialpurpose"/> <load-components parent-directory="hot-deploy"/> That is the INITIAL sequence. It takes the first one (framework), andlooks for component-load.xml... i.e: ./framework/component-load.xml Reads it, gets the "order" for all framework items... Example: <load-component component-location="base"/> <load-component component-location="entity"/> <load-component component-location="security"/> <load-component component-location="datafile"/> <load-component component-location="minilang"/> <load-component component-location="common"/> <load-component component-location="service"/> <load-component component-location="catalina"/> <load-component component-location="entityext"/> <load-component component-location="webapp"/> <load-component component-location="widget"/> <load-component component-location="testtools"/> <load-component component-location="webtools"/> <load-component component-location="images"/> THAT is the order, in framework, that data is loaded. Then, for EACH of the above items in framework (i.e. "base), in sequence,reads "ofbiz-component.xml"... Example: framework/common/ofbiz-component.xml Then, if ofbiz-component.xml has "reader-name(s)" entries, as below: <entity-resource type="model" reader-name="main" loader="main"location="entitydef/entitymodel.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="seed" loader="main"location="data/CommonSecurityPermissionSeedData.xml"/> Ofbiz will load the data, as specified by the reader-name, as specified onyour ant/gradlew command line. By default, the reader-name(s) are "demo","main", "seed", and "seed-initial". You can (and should) create your OWN "reader-name(s)" for your ownparticular purpose, but that should ONLY be done in "hot-deploy", which isthe absolute LAST item in: ./framework/base/config/component-load.xml Don't try to mess with ANY of these default ordered items. There aredependencies to be followed, and errors will surely follow. What you probably want to do (like everyone else does), is load: ./ant load-readers "-Ddata-readers=seed,seed-initial" (or the equivalentgradlew command) Which creates a boot-strapped ofbiz... Operational, but empty... Waitingfor customization. Create a sub-directory in "hot-deploy", place your custom data there, andload in YOUR sequence, as defined in: hot-deploy/mydata/ofbiz-component.xml That is how everyone loads custom data after seed,seed-initial.
