Hi All! after setting up the connection with an external database without errors I have two more questions, on which I could not find some specific information:
(1) after setting up an entity, a delegator and I datasource, which seem to work together now, how (or where?) is the exchange of RECORDS with the external database? ofbiz does not seem to automatically detect and show the records from the mysql-database. Maybe my entity definitions are still wrong, but then without error messages. However: no records are imported or displayed in the view. So: how can I get them from the mysql-database? Also unexpected to me: when I create new records in ofbiz, they are displayed in ofbiz after creation (as one would expect for any regular entity) but they are not transferred to to the external mysql-database (which I guess could be the purpose of a entity with associated externally referenced datasource). So it seems that ofbiz did recognize the structure of the external mysql-database, but then ignores to exchange the data between ofbiz and the database. So how does ofbiz exchange records between ofbiz and the external database (in a synchronized way)? Is there further setup or custom implmentation necessary? (2) the setup of a datasource is placed in entityengine.xml in the framework/entity/config folder. Is there a way to extend it with entries defined in hot-deploy/.../entitydef/config/entityengine.xml ? I tried to setup another entityengine.xml there, but this approach seemed to be ignored by ofbiz. Thank you!
