In the tutorials we are shown examples of a Party/Person-like entity
(HelloPerson). Would it not be possible to join HelloHobby with Person? CJ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/users |

You mean the OFBIZ Person entity? Yes, it would. The tutorial was to
create a completely self-contained example, so that's why it didn't use the existing OFBIZ entities. In reality, of course, you should try to do the exact opposite: reuse as many existing entities as possible. I should make a note of this in the tutorial. Thanks for pointing it out.

That's what i thought. I hope (assume) this can be done without altering
the Person entity definition in any way? If so, i've been having difficulty doing so. I'm just trying to create a one-to-many relation (unlike the many-to-many relation in the tutorial) between Person and my entity Appointment respectively. I'm also assuming that this doesn't need the same kind of joining entity as HelloPersonHobby ... CJ Si Chen wrote: >You mean the OFBIZ Person entity? Yes, it would.

So...hold it right there. Why are you making an Appointment entity when
there is the WorkEffort entity already? Charles Johnson wrote: >That's what i thought. I hope (assume) this can be done without altering >the Person entity definition in any way?

Ah OK. For one thing, I didn't know what WorkEffort meant. For another,
i'd need to support repeating appointments. I wonder if WorkEffort can do that? I'm going to take a look at it now. Let's imagine that WE didn't exist at all - can you take up the remarks in my last posting in that light? CJ Si Chen wrote: >So...hold it right there.

I'm certainly tempted, but there are two volumes and they're not cheap

Just buy Vol 1. The paperback is reasonable. Without a copy of the book on hand,
you'll just be spinning your wheels. -Adrian Charles Johnson wrote: > I'm certainly tempted, but there are two volumes and they're not cheap > ;-) > > > CJ > > David Welton wrote: > > >>On 1/13/06, Charles Johnson <[hidden email]> wrote: >> >> >> >>>Ah OK.

It's pretty unanimous that you should get the book.
As to why it doesn't work...sorry not nearly enough information here for me to figure it out. Si Charles Johnson wrote: >Ah OK. For one thing, I didn't know what WorkEffort meant.
