Writing CRUD operations:

Create, Update and Delete operations for an entity will be done by services which we will be writing in minilang.

...

Step - 3: Now all the services which you have written needs to be loaded when server starts so you need to do an entry for service definition in ofbiz-component.xml file which will be like :            

Code Block

<service-resource type="model" loader="main" location="servicedef/services.xml"/>

So whenever you make any change in any service definition then you must restart the server to have changes in effect.

...

First we will be writing services for Party then while writing services for creating Person we will be calling the service for party.

*Step - 1 :  Create a file by name "services.xml" in servicedef directory.

...

This new feature enables you to just define the services by mentioning the operation you want to perform.Basically just set the engine attribute to "entity-auto" and the   invoke attribute to "create", "update", or "delete".

For the implementation of Group service follow these steps: 

Step - 1 :  Add another menu item to applicatoin menu bar by name "Group Service".(Do the needful entries for target in controller.xml)

...

Step - 3 : For loading the defintion you need to do an entry in your ofbiz-component.xml file like:

Code Block
<entity-resource type="model" reader-name="main" loader="main" location="entitydef/entitymodel.xml"/>

...

This is the simplest form it can be more complex. This will add up one more field to the entity you already have. Now it depends which field you want for your custom needs. Here you can also defined relation of this field with other entities you want. But before doing this you should search extesively may be you will be adding a field for a purpose and there is already a field which will serve the purpose, so be concisous about this. Also go for a extensive study of data model then do this.
