Digging deeper into the logic, i got the following setup that perhaps helps
to demonstrate the problem i got:
I created a virtual product with
salesDiscWhenNotAvail ="Y"
requireInventory="N"
taxable="Y"
chargeShipping="N"
autoCreateKeywords="Y"
isVirtual="Y"
isVariant="N"
productTypeId="FINISHED_GOOD"
and added a set of variant products to it, each differing in size and color.
I now got a parent product (complete with productId) and differing physical
products that are pointing towards this parent. Our warehouse reports to us
the QOT of all the physical items, that way we have all of the physical
items with an inventory > 0 and the virtual product (or parent item) with an
inventory = 0. I am now trying to display only the virtual products to a
customer where the inventory of their physical items in total is > 0. In
addition, I want to allow the user to shop this very item, as long as there
are variants available. However, on my ecommerce application I am receiving
an error for such items, as long as I don't set "requireInventory" to "N"
(which doesn't really make sense to me, as a virtual product should, by
definition, never even have an inventory - at least thats how i understand
the product page in the docs).
How can I solve this issue without a draining performance loss? (I know that
I could use the getProductInventoryAvailableFromAssocProducts service, but
that requires another delegator call previous to the service itself and
seems rather slow at the whole)
