How to create a new entity

Hi All,

I have added a new entity definition in an existing entitymodel.xml which is already loaded through ofbiz-component.xml

<entity entity-name="trackUserSource" package-name="com.pj.contact"
title="Track User Source Entity" >
<field name="trackId" type="id-ne"/>
<field name="source" type="long-varchar"/>
<field name="medium" type="long-varchar"/>
<field name="campaign" type="long-varchar"/>
<field name="userId" type="long-varchar"/>
<field name="pid" type="long-varchar"/>
<prim-key field="trackId"/>
</entity>

But I am not able to create this object when I restart ofbiz.

Your quick help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,

Restarting the OFBiz will not solve your purpose. ant run-install will
be your friend, in that case.

Thanks

Restarting should also work if add-missing-on-start="true" in
entityengine.xml

Hi All,

I have tried in another developer system and it worked well. I need to figure out the problem in my local environment.
For your information,
We should not use run-install because it will override all the new changes done in the db.

Hi Priya,
Thanks for helping out.

Regards
Hemanth

Re: How to create a new entity

There are two steps to definining a new entity.

1. First add the entity definition to your entitymodel.xml file which looks
you have.

2. Then add the entity to the group file which is usually called
entitygroup.xml
<entity-group group=*"org.ofbiz"* entity=*"TrackUserSource"* />

If you don't have the entity added to the entitygroup.xml file it won't be
created when the server starts up.

I noticed you named your entity trackUserSource. The standard naming
convention is to start with upper case name for the entity (e.g.
TrackUserSource).

Hope that helps.

In the release09.04 branch and the trunk this is no longer necessary if you want the entity to be in the default group for the delegator.
