RE: About service.xml

[18年前 に Glay Glay によって更新されました。]

How to use of service.xml inside the portal?<br /><br />It seems to be able to generate the EJB Components and also update the SQL statement, so to modify any Table changes (adding fields or removing fields).<br /><br />And after I use the &quot;ant build-services&quot; command, it would make a whole data structure change. So can I have the original version of service.xml in the &quot;portal&quot; folder?<br /><br />Or is there any instruction about it???

The DTD (at top of service.xml) also gives detailed instructions on how to use it.

Hi Brian:
Is there any way I can auto generate service.xml against legacy database? Creating service.xml for existing tables is time consuming.

Thanks.
Mohammad

As CEO, I wouldn't expect a response from Brian, although I guess it's always possible...

No, there is currently nothing to automate building of the service.xml. You could try the tools available that know how to build the hibernate hbm.xml file as it would give you a head start on the service.xml, but you'll still be in for some tweaking...

Creating a tool to generate database table entity definitions for service.xml based on existing database table isn't too difficult.
I have a Excel tool that gathers metadata from database tables to generate a xml schema.
The difficult part is what to do with foreign keys and finder methods.

Replied about having foreign keys in the following thread:

Why do you see difficult? Perhaps we can create a community project for reverse engineer service.xml. What do you think?

And I just want to know where can I download the service.xml which generated the current classes (version 3.6)<br /><br />Because I see the current service.xml is updated (26/8) and is different from the classes that were generated before(15/8).<br /><br />And when I use &quot;ant build-services&quot;, it would then generate many unrealistic classes that is not used by the current Liferay (eg. Organization.java) and make Liferay 3.6 non-runable.<br /><br />Thanks

Yes, some of the service.xml for 4.0.0 got in there. You could porbably use the 3.6.0 and be safe.
