Hans Bakker commented on OFBIZ-293:
-----------------------------------
isn't it so that in minilanguage we can use the environment variable "nullField"? isn't the same true here?
> data import - nulling fields impossible

> This patch comments out the check for null or empty values in the data XML file found by the EntitySaxReader. I also added an additional warning message in case you do not want to persist empty values to the database but still would like to know what happened.

> Chris-
> Just a comment: it's very important that a field in the entity engine is set to null ONLY when the XML file specifically has an empty attribute (ie, description=""). Otherwise, there's a lot of seed data that is in separate XML files, and they could overwrite each other.

> Si,
> I'm not sure I understand your comment about seed data in seperate XML files overwriting each other. Shouldn't seed data XML files be entity specific? Why would one seed data XML file overwrite another?
> Do you have any comment on what a better solution is for seed data values that could be empty?
> Thanks
> Chris
