Re: EntityEngine field types

[Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>]

At this moment I completly forgot about the not-null attribute of the field element:
<<This makes the field NOT NULL on the database (like primary key fields). It's possible to use an id-ne similiar field type. But 
rows can be added from outside of ofbiz (e.g. database manager, third party programm, etc). This patch uses the ability of a 
database to set not null constraints. Defaults to false.>>
