loadDefault Source Code

[stimits]

This is probably a naive question, but on 16.11.04 I am searching for the actual code which runs for the "loadDefault" part of:
./gradlew loadDefault
 
I'm looking for what I might edit to create my own version of loadDefault after observing what the existing loadDefault actually executes. I see some shell scripts passing this on, and suspect this is part of one of the jar files, but was unable to find the actual code.
 
Thanks!

Hello,

You will find loadDefault task implementation within the file
build.gradle at OFBiz root directory. (see line 320)

Regards,

Gil

Hi,
 
I guess what I should do is rephrase...if I wanted to run this under a debugger and get a stack frame (which I'm not actually set up to do), where would I find the source code which specifically understands which XML files to read and load for loadDefault? The build.gradle is more of a declaration and not so much the actual source code, and I'm more of a C++ guy (I do ok with Java, but I don't know the web toolkits and APIs).

loadDefault translates to loading all data sets (seed,seed-initial,
demo,ext, etc ...)

The code for that is big and scattered in many different places because a
lot of things happen during data load (SAX parser, DOM modeling, DB
translations, and a lot more). So it depends on what you are looking for
and perhaps more importantly, why

I agree, maybe you can try starting from ContainerLoader.java

I am interested in how the list of files is chosen, along with the rules for order of choosing. I am thinking of custom loading for my own testing, but mostly I just feel I need to better understand what the "All" of "loadAll" is.

Okay so in this case my recommendation is to skip looking at the source
code and instead learn the syntax for loading data. ./gradlew "ofbiz
--help" and README.md are good sources for that. There you will find plenty
of options for loading data including specifying readers, components,
files, directories etc ...

The trouble with that is I'm interested in dumping the logic of how the load order is determined specifically with the loadDefault. If there were a command such as "./gradlew --explain loadDefault", where it verbosely named which file is chosen, what kind of sorting is used, and what it was doing with each, then this would work. This is why I wanted to see the code actually step through loadDefault...I want to know how it actually makes the choices, and perhaps write something to help with generation/load of my own test cases (I'm hoping to actually learn something).

Okay so the order of loading data is by component and reader type.
Component loading order is determined in the related XML files and reader
loading is defined as per the entityengine configuration loading order
which goes from seed all the way to ext-demo as I remember it. Now if you
want to go beyond that (it would be strange if you want to know the exact
file-by-file sequence) then you'll need to investigate.

You know it would be easier instead of me answering you piece by piece to
actually explain your problem because there might be solutions. If not,
then please go ahead and read the code at the EntityDataLoadContainer.java
and best of luck.

Here is the sequence as I understand it.

Ofbiz first loads: ./framework/base/config/component-load.xml, which has:

    <load-components parent-directory="framework"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="themes"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="applications"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="specialpurpose"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="hot-deploy"/>

That is the INITIAL sequence.  It takes the first one (framework), and
looks for component-load.xml... i.e:

./framework/component-load.xml

Reads it, gets the "order" for all framework items... Example:

    <load-component component-location="base"/>
    <load-component component-location="entity"/>
    <load-component component-location="security"/>
    <load-component component-location="datafile"/>
    <load-component component-location="minilang"/>
    <load-component component-location="common"/>
    <load-component component-location="service"/>
    <load-component component-location="catalina"/>
    <load-component component-location="entityext"/>
    <load-component component-location="webapp"/>
    <load-component component-location="widget"/>
    <load-component component-location="testtools"/>
    <load-component component-location="webtools"/>
    <load-component component-location="images"/>

THAT is the order, in framework, that data is loaded.

Then, for EACH of the above items in framework (i.e. "base), in sequence,
reads "ofbiz-component.xml"... Example:

framework/common/ofbiz-component.xml

Then, if ofbiz-component.xml has "reader-name(s)" entries, as below:

    <entity-resource type="model" reader-name="main" loader="main"
location="entitydef/entitymodel.xml"/>
    <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="seed" loader="main"
location="data/CommonSecurityPermissionSeedData.xml"/>

Ofbiz will load the data, as specified by the reader-name, as specified on
your ant/gradlew command line.  By default, the reader-name(s) are "demo",
"main", "seed", and "seed-initial".

You can (and should) create your OWN "reader-name(s)" for your own
particular purpose, but that should ONLY be done in "hot-deploy", which is
the absolute LAST item in:

./framework/base/config/component-load.xml

Don't try to mess with ANY of these default ordered items.  There are
dependencies to be followed, and errors will surely follow.

What you probably want to do (like everyone else does), is load:

./ant load-readers "-Ddata-readers=seed,seed-initial" (or the equivalent
gradlew command)

Which creates a boot-strapped ofbiz... Operational, but empty... Waiting
for customization.

Create a sub-directory in "hot-deploy", place your custom data there, and
load in YOUR sequence, as defined in:

hot-deploy/mydata/ofbiz-component.xml

That is how everyone loads custom data after seed,seed-initial.

Hi,
 
Thanks, I think this is what I need. I wrote an application which diagrams PostgreSQL databases and creates SVG maps of table pk and fk dependencies...it graphically shows what needs to be modified in which order versus primary/foreign key dependencies. I'm thinking of ways to extend it to basically click on a table or key icon and have it locate not only the key dependencies of the database, but also the XML file providing that data. Not sure yet I can do it, but this is promising. I'll try to use the hot-deploy with various versions of the component-loader XML files to test.

THAT is the order, in framework, that data is loaded.

Then, for EACH of the above items in framework (i.e. "base), in sequence,reads "ofbiz-component.xml"... Example:

framework/common/ofbiz-component.xml

Then, if ofbiz-component.xml has "reader-name(s)" entries, as below:

<entity-resource type="model" reader-name="main" loader="main"location="entitydef/entitymodel.xml"/> <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="seed" loader="main"location="data/CommonSecurityPermissionSeedData.xml"/>

Ofbiz will load the data, as specified by the reader-name, as specified onyour ant/gradlew command line. By default, the reader-name(s) are "demo","main", "seed", and "seed-initial".

You can (and should) create your OWN "reader-name(s)" for your ownparticular purpose, but that should ONLY be done in "hot-deploy", which isthe absolute LAST item in:

./framework/base/config/component-load.xml

Don't try to mess with ANY of these default ordered items. There aredependencies to be followed, and errors will surely follow.

What you probably want to do (like everyone else does), is load:

./ant load-readers "-Ddata-readers=seed,seed-initial" (or the equivalentgradlew command)

Which creates a boot-strapped ofbiz... Operational, but empty... Waitingfor customization.

Create a sub-directory in "hot-deploy", place your custom data there, andload in YOUR sequence, as defined in:

hot-deploy/mydata/ofbiz-component.xml

That is how everyone loads custom data after seed,seed-initial.

Hi stimits,

Can you contribute the results of your research?

There are data model diagrams at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Data+Model+Diagrams, but
AFAIK they don't give chains of foreign key dependencies.

Some entities have self-related parent-child relationships, so you need to
load parents before children within the data for one entity.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy

The SVG output is not suitable yet for publication, but I have a lot of text-based output someone may find useful. It is large, about 1.6Mb, and contains some command line characters for bold-face formatting, so I'm thinking it'll just get stripped if I attach it and send it to this list. If interested in that I could upload it somewhere or email it somewhere which might not strip it...I would need to know where.
 
Eventually I'm hoping to read the input XML files and be able to relate the output tables and keys to specific XML files. This is a long way off.
