Correct way to implement new product type

[andrea.pastori]

Hi,

I'm new in ofbiz development. I need to model a new product type and I found two way to do this (but I would like to understand the correct one or alternative :) )

1) The first is to add manually the new value for the Entity (ProductType) from Entinty Engine https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/entitymaint

2) The second is to use a custom product attribute upon an existing product type.

What I really don't understand if is the use of existing type for entity such as ProductType or SubscriptionType or ProductCategoryContentType ecc. is mandatory (I mean we must use only the existing ) or we are free to add a new values. (In the second case I also would like to understand if we can add from Entity Manager or exist a different way to do this)

Thanks in advance

Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I have tried the first approach you mentioned. After introducing new product type I could not see the new value in Product Type attribute list in Product creation screen.

Any hint will help.

Thanks in Advance.
