General customization
Hi,
I have tried some first step customizations of ofbiz. And I learned that I
have to edit the basic configuration xmls. So if I install the patch that
would overwrite my customizations, isnt it?
If i am changing entitydef.xml, is there any other better way to extend the
entity definition with out touching the out of the box components/files?
Thanking in advance.
Kind regards,
Bubbly

I assume you have used ant create-component and now building it.
this way no patches from the Jira will overwrite.
you can add and existing entity def to your component and modify it or
you can use the extend-entity
if you use and entity with the same name as one that exist your, since
it is loaded last will overwrite the previous entity def loaded.

But the new file we create has to be refered in some existing file, rt?
What I am thinking of is a confuguration file that will b touched only by
ppl who customizes, not ppl who develops this product

You can extend an existing entity by adding the following (or some form of
it) in your own entitymodel.xml
<extend-entity entity-name="someExistingEntityName">
<field name="yourExtraFieldInExistingEntity" type="id" />
</extend-entity>
