Newbie: Where is the data coming from?

[Johnny Kewl <jo...@kewlstuff.co.za>]

SVN'd ant'd... and it worked first time, well done.

Its made accounts and tons of other stuff in derby, I'm just wondering how?
Where did that data come from, and if I want to add an account and perform 
the same magic, where do I put that data... so it also populates derby or 
postgres like the ofbiz did?

Thanks

Few more details :-

See the entitydef folder of any component.

entitymodel.xml files that are present in each component(for eg :-
accounting,content) to define the entities.
This entities are grouped into entitygroup.xml and this file also present in
each component.

In the entitygroup.xml all the entities are grouped into the "group"
attribute of <entity-group> tag.
In most of the entitygroup.xml file entities are grouped into "org.ofbiz"
group.
For eg :- <entity-group group="org.ofbiz" entity="Budget" />

These groups are called from entityengine.xml to put the definition of all
the entities into particular database.
See the code sample shown below that is taken from entityengine.xml file :-

    <delegator name="default" entity-model-reader="main"
entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main"
distributed-cache-clear-enabled="false">
        <group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="localderby"/>
        <group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap"
datasource-name="localderbyolap"/>
    </delegator>

In the above code <group-map> tag calls the group "org.ofbiz" and sends the
definition of all the entities comes inside it to localderby database.

Please let us know if you need more assistance on this :-)

Johnny,
in every ofbiz component there is a "data" folder that contains several XML
files.
See for example:
\ofbiz\applications\accounting\data\AccountingSecurityData.xml

These files defines the entity records that must be created.

In order to be loaded in the database, a data file must be referenced in the
component ofbiz-componet.xml file with a line like this:
    <entity-resource type="data" reader-name="seed" loader="main"
location="data/UsTaxAccountGroups.xml"/>

This line associates the data xml file to a "reader".
Some reader like "seed", "ext", "demo" are already defined and loaded with
the various ant option (like run-install-seed or run-install-extseed).
More readers can be defined by the user in custom components.

Hope this helps,
-Bruno
