Hi,
It's a long time now I, from time to time, have a look at this issue. At some
point I had at least 13 related links, remain open only:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7112 "EntityUtilProperties"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6712 "Increase the number of
EntityUtilProperties methods which really use getSystemPropertyValue()"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7754 "The big problem when loading
seed."
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6164 "Improve configurability of
OFBiz"
And somehow related (to review when the rest is done):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Extension+in+Multitenancy+support
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Multitenancy+support
We discussed a lot about that (notably*) but did not decide about it.
* https://markmail.org/message/md6fuoouan377c6w (look rather at bottom of the
thread where some opinionated conclusions show)
For OFBIZ-7754 I notably suggested (comment there https://s.apache.org/cyx1j):
<<Since the master DB makes only sense when using tenants, I believe we
should 1st separate properties, keep generic ones in properties files and
put others in DB.>>
But Michael is basically against that, see bottom of the thread (markmail)
above.
I don't think anybody is against changing from seed to seed-initial for CommonSystemPropertyData.xml rather than removing it as suggested by Hans (who
created it).
I mean maybe some users are relying on that now. Note that it goes in the
direction I suggested above.
Then, if nobody is against, I'll close OFBIZ-7754 (and hopefully other but 7112) and create a new Jira task to separate all properties as Hans did for
CommonSystemPropertyData
Afterward I'll get back to OFBIZ-7112
What do you think?
Note that I'll not wait forever for opinions. It will not be longer than next
week.
TIA
Jacques
