> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug

> It's a copy of the old-jira issue
> http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-466 from Si Chen.
> Creating GenericValues using alternative delegators does not work IF those
> GenericValues are of entities not defined in the "default" delegator. This
> is because the entity engine keeps referring back to "default" to look for
> entity meta definition.
> For example, in GenericDelegator.makeValue(entityName, fields) -
> GenericValue value = GenericValue.create(entity, fields);
> value.setDelegator(this);
> GenericValue is created without passing in a delegator first. So how does it
> know which delegator to use? GenericEntity.getDelegator() forces a default -
> if (delegatorName == null) delegatorName = "default";
> We've had similar issues when trying to .create(...) or .createOrStore(...)
> The entity engine needs a GenericPK, which it also looks for from the
> "default" delegator.
> One work around we found was to create GenericValues this way--
> GenericDelegator altDelegator = GenericDelegator.getGenericDelegator("<alt
> delegator>");
> EntityReader altReader = altDelegator.getModelReader();
> ModelEntity modelEntity = reader.getModelEntity("<entityName>");
> GenericValue newVal = GenericValue.create(modelEntity);
> newVal.setDelegator(altDelegator);
> newVal.putAll(<Map of values>);
> This can fix the GenericDelegator.makeValue(...) methods, but unfortunately
> the resulting GenericValue still cannot be stored.

> I'd appreciate more feedback from Si on this one.
> The GenericValue, GenericPK, and GenericEntity objects are designed to always
> be associated with a delegator. If no delegator is associated it will default
> to the "default" delegator. However, if you use the makeValue method from a
> different delegator it will be associated with that delegator...
> Is there something you found not working this way Si?
