Enumeration and Type entity

[Vikas Mayur-3]

Is there any rules/guidelines that can help to decide whether a set of  
values should go in Enumeration or there is need to define a new Type  
entity.
There could be many examples but I have quickly looked at the data in  
EmplPositionType entity. I think this data can also  be maintained in  
Enumeration model.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Vikas

Hi Vikas,

Maybe this link could help ?

A generic Enumeration is an alternative to a *Type entity when the  
need for set of data to track is simple and won't need extra  
information attached to it in the future. When those might be the  
case, the *Type pattern is a better way to go.

Hi all,

I'm on an ofbiz from last year, still with UiLabels properties files.
I would like to know if it's possible/easy  :-) to get the work on XML
labels without a big update (list of patch).

Charles.

You'll need the latest UtilProperties.java file.

Actually, I sent that reply off too fast. There were some refactorings done recently that are not backwards compatible. You'll need to do a little work on the file to make it compatible.

Hi adrian,

Effectively, I imported the last UtilProperties and I followed errors in
order to solve
the compilation problems, so I also imported ResourceBundleMapWrapper,
and then
the project builded correctly.
But the xml are still not imported. So, I'm stuck because I'have no more
errors or things
like that to follow.

But thanks Adrian, I think I will wait the next migration to use this
functionality.

Best regards,
Charles.

What do you mean by imported? With an updated UtilProperties.java file
you should be able to use three file formats: *.properties, Java *.xml,
and OFBiz *.xml. Nothing needs to be imported.

By imported, I mean I retrieved the last UtilProperties.java on ofbiz trunck
and I replaced my current UtilProperties.java (I'm not synchronize on
ofbiz trunk).
So, I updated my UtilProperties.java ;)
After that, I had some compilation errors, solved by the same operation
on my
ResourceBundleMapWrapper.java.

And it still not working.

If you tell me that UtilProperties.java update is enough, I suppose that
I have done
something wrong.

Thanks,
Charles.

Could you be more specific? What is it doing or not doing? Are there any
messages in the logs?

If everything compiles okay, then it should work.
