Adding a new entity under product package ?

[gopalbi]

Hello friends,

     Actually i have to add a new entity under product package that will create a new table in ofbiz.Few field in this table totally a new one.While saving the data in this table only those field are save while are present in product table.like productId and description and other field are not save like size, color. But if we put a copy of these field in the product table then it will be save.

Example(Condition 1)
Entity 1

<extend-entity entity-name="Product"> 
        <field name="productId" type="id-ne"></field> 
        <field name="description" type="description"></field> 
    </extend-entity> 
Entity 2

<extend-entity entity-name="Xyz"> 
        <field name="productId" type="id-ne"></field> 
        <field name="description" type="description"></field> 
        <field name="coloring" type="long-varchar"></field> 
 

    </extend-entity> 
// The color field data is not saving in Xyz table only those field are save while are present in product table


Condition 2
Entity 1

<extend-entity entity-name="Product"> 
        <field name="productId" type="id-ne"></field> 
        <field name="description" type="description"></field> 
        <field name="coloring" type="long-varchar"></field> 
    </extend-entity> 
Entity 2

<extend-entity entity-name="Xyz"> 
        <field name="productId" type="id-ne"></field> 
        <field name="description" type="description"></field> 
        <field name="coloring" type="long-varchar"></field> 
 

    </extend-entity> 
// But if we put a copy of these coloring field in the product table then it will be save.

But please give me a proper solution.

Thanks & Regards:

Where is the new entity definition for "Xyz" and why are you using
extend-entity on it?

 Gopal,

If you want to create a new entity in Product package then you can do like
this:

<entity entity-name="Xyz"
    *package*-name="org.ofbiz.product.product" title="Xyz Entity">
  <field name="xyzId" type="id-ne"></field>
  <field name="xyzDescription" type="description"></field>
  <field name="zyzColoring" type="long-varchar"></field>
  <prim-key field="xyzId"/>
  <relation type="one/many" fk-name="XYZ_TYP" rel-entity-name="XyzType">
    <key-map field-name="xyzId"/>
  </relation>
</entity>

or if you want to extends existing product entity with some new fields then
you can do like this:

<extend-entity entity-name="Product">
       <field name="field1" type="fieldType"></field>
       <field name="field2" type="fieldType"></field>
</extend-entity>

If you would like to extend any entity then make sure you have the
definition for this entity.

I hope it will helpfull for you.

I guess my question is why do yo feel a need to make or change an entity
 for color or size when you can use the productfeatures.

Also you can save data in a context of a session and don't need an entity.
