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.

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.
