Entity Changes for column definition Not Reflecting in DB

[Hemanth Kumar Kanamarlapudi]

Hi Users,

Can any one please tell me the reason why the changes in my entity definition are not reflected in the database.

For example I have a cardNumber which is earlier Numeric/Integer in entitymodel.xml as well as in database.

Now I changed  cardNumber to Name/String type in entitymodel,xml and restarted ofbiz server. The change is not reflected in database.

I am using MySQL database.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Hemanth

Do you have "check-on-start" & "add-missing-on-start" set to true in your
datasource definition ?

The Entity Engine only automatically adds new tables and columns, it  
does not automatically change column types. It will, however, warn you  
about the database column type not matching the entity field type.  
Please read through the warnings on startup or on the checkdb page in  
webtools and you'll see this information.

The change you did need a unload/reload of the entity if you do not want
to loose existing data.

If you do not mind loosing the content of the entity simply dropping the
entity and restarting ofbiz will do the trick

In r4.0 on MS SQL, new columns are not recognized by the entity engine using my setup.  I was told this may be due to the lack of meta data provided by the MS JDBC driver I am using.  I manually add new columns and keys to the database - it's not that much of a big deal for my environment.

I have a requirement where I need to redirect the user to different page based on type of user's registration (SIMPLE registration with minimum fields or COMPLETE registration), for which I need to modify the Security tag.

I want to add an extra attribute called "registrationType" which should forward to different page depending on registration type.
EX:-
<request-map uri="checkout">
        <security auth="true" registrationType="SIMPLE" https="true" />

Can some tell us the flow and files I may need to modify for this requirment ?

Kishore

You could always just use a preprocessor event couldn't you?

Actually that may not be the best solution, why don't you just use a  
regular event to process the view redirect?

look at how a Customer role is added to registration from the ecommerce
side. You can assign other roles to fit you registrationtypes.

Actual problem:
Unlike the Ofbiz default registration implementation, we have two different types of user registration called SIMPLE and COMPLETE. If user not registered, he/she has to forward to a particular registration page dynamically.

We thought to specify the registrationType as attribute in security tag
        <security auth="true" registrationType="SIMPLE" />

If the above mechanism doesn't work, I thought to implement two request-map called 'SimpleRegistration' and 'CompleteRegistration' which will redirect to the caller request-map after registration is complete.

Regards,
Kishore

You can't.  Keep in mind it is much better to talk about the actual
problem you are trying to solve rather than talking about the problem
your solution has created.  It makes it much easier for others to
suggest alternative solutions.
