Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-5410:
------------------------------------------
Misc comments:
* I agree with the overall design
* I agree that the existing data import tool is old and has problems
* I see a potential for unifying some code that process xml-data imports with
the new code (not sure if it is feasible, I am just throwing out an idea)
* I agree that the data import tool should not deal with complex data
processing; a mechanism to support more complex logic could be that of
triggering services (one service call per row or one service call per file)
* I agree we should reuse Common CSV
* in my opinion it is not essential to support various import formats:
supporting one very well (e.g. CSV) it is better than providing several options
not well supported
* I also like the idea of schemaless imports ("configuration by convention") or
imports that accepts a schema and ignore fields that are not part of the schema
