Scott Gray commented on OFBIZ-3847:
-----------------------------------
I think this points to a larger problem whereby there is no guarantee that any entity ECA will receive a complete GenericValue representing the entire record.
For example GenericDelegator.removeByPrimaryKey() only passes the primary key fields to the ECA rule runner and any ECAs that depend on other non-pk fields won't be able to evaluate their condition properly.
I'm not sure what the full solution would look like, it would be good to get some thoughts of others on this.
We could consider having EntityEcaCondition.eval() perform a db lookup if any of the fields it needs to evaluate are missing. If they are missing it could fully populate the entity with the missing fields so that a lookup is only required at most once per delegator operation. If no ECA conditions require any missing fields then the lookup wouldn't be performed, so the performance penalty would only be incurred when necessary.
> Entity ECAs not triggered correctly when using Delegator.storeAll() method

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3847> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 10.04
> Reporter: Martin Kreidenweis
> Attachments: GenericDelegator.java.diff
>
>
> The conditions don't work when updating (not creating) entities using the Delegator.storeAll() method. E.g. the following condition does not work:
> {code}
> <eca entity="Product" operation="create-store" event="return">
> <condition field-name="autoCreateKeywords" operator="not-equals" value="N"/>
> <action service="indexProductKeywords" mode="sync" value-attr="productInstance"/>
> </eca>
> {code}
> The indexProductKeywords service is called anyway when the product is updated and the autoCreateKeywords was "N" and stays "N". It works correctly for newly created products.
> The problem is in the method GenericDelegator.storeAll(), where unchanged field values are not passed down to the store() method. The store method calls the ECA engine, which does not receive the unchanged values at all and thus cannot evaluate the EECA conditions correctly.
