Create new entity in broadleaf

Question

Note : I am using PostgreSQL database After the build and run table is not created in database I do same as broadleaf documentation for create new entity:

   1.  **Created new interface** :

package com.mycompany.entity.ordereturn;

 public interface OrderReturn {
        Long getId();
        void setId(Long id);
        String getReason();
        void setReason(String reason);
        String getAddress();
        void setAddress(String address);
    }

Created new OrderReturnImpl class :

@Entity

@Table(name = "blc_order_return")

public class OrderReturnImpl implements OrderReturn{

@Id
@GeneratedValue(generator= "OrderReturnId")
@GenericGenerator(
        name="OrderReturnId",
                    strategy="org.broadleafcommerce.common.persistence.IdOverrideTableGenerator",
        parameters = {
            @Parameter(name="segment_value", value="OrderReturnImpl"),
            @Parameter(name="entity_name", value="com.mycompany.entity.ordereturn.OrderReturnImpl")
        }
    )    

@Column(name = "OrderReturn_ID")
protected Long id;

@Column(name = "Reason")
protected String reason;

@Column(name = "Address")
protected String address;

@Override
public Long getId() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return id;
}

@Override
public void setId(Long id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    this.id = id;
}

@Override
public String getReason() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return reason;
}

@Override
public void setReason(String reason) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    this.reason = reason;
}

@Override
public String getAddress() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return address;
}

@Override
public void setAddress(String address) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    this.address = address;
}
}

Configure in persistence-core.xml file :

 <persistence-unit name="blPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        // Added this line in name = "blPU"
            <class>com.mycompany.controller.account.OrderReturnImpl</class>
             <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
        </persistence-unit>

Although you havent posted your full OrderReturnImpl.java file, you're probably missing the @Entity annotation (along with @Table annotation).

Please annotate your class accordingly.

OK i see a new edit and you now have the annotations. So the error still continues with these annotations?

if you want to create the database tables from the entities, please use <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

@BhaumikSathvara so the class is actually at this package, right? `com.mycompany.controller.account`. also please post the full stacktrace. it will be more helpful to see if sth else happens before that. – Apostolos Jul 07 '16 at 09:34
But when i follow this: http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/core/current/tutorials/core-tutorials/creating-a-new-entity then i am not getting any error and also not create any table in database. – Bhaumik Sathvara Jul 07 '16 at 10:47
have you tried with `create`? you want to create the database table from the entity right? – Apostolos Jul 07 '16 at 10:51
yes i already did it. and also yes i want to create the database table from this entity. – Bhaumik Sathvara Jul 07 '16 at 10:55
ok so please include the full stacktrace then in your question. thnx – Apostolos Jul 07 '16 at 10:56
But i not have a any exception. – Bhaumik Sathvara Jul 07 '16 at 11:17
so what about `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown entity: com.mycompany.entity.ordereturn.OrderReturnImpl`? – Apostolos Jul 07 '16 at 11:20
Its not in our case that's why I have removed it from my question. – Bhaumik Sathvara Jul 07 '16 at 11:25
I am just following documentation I have shared with you, restarting broadleaf admin and site. According to documentation table should be created in DB. but its not happening in our case. – Bhaumik Sathvara Jul 07 '16 at 11:27

One possible problem is with creating tables if you are running admin/site on standalone server. Try it on embedded tomcat or jetty.

configure:

In admin/resource/runtime-properties/development.properties

blPU.hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create
blCMSStorage.hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create
blSecurePU.hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create

In core/resource/runtime-properties/common-shared.properties

blPU.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
blSecurePU.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
blCMSStorage.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
blPU.hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor=org.broadleafcommerce.common.util.sql.importsql.DemoPostgresSingleLineSqlCommandExtractor
blSecurePU.hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor=org.broadleafcommerce.common.util.sql.importsql.DemoPostgresSingleLineSqlCommandExtractor
blCMSStorage.hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor=org.broadleafcommerce.common.util.sql.importsql.DemoPostgresSingleLineSqlCommandExtractor

database.properties populated with your data

Be sure to have:

PostgreSQL driver in [standaloneserver]/lib or as a library if you run on embedded servers
Invalidated IDE cache
Clean and install maven goals on all project (or on all three modules)
postgresql start database in pom's executions and postgresql dependency

<plugin>
     <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>1.8</version>
          <executions>
               <execution>
                    <id>postgres-start</id>
                    <configuration>
                         <target>
                              <echo message="Starting postgres database..."/>
                              <java fork="true" spawn="true" classname="org.postgresql.Driver"
                                      classpathref="maven.plugin.classpath">

                              <echo message="Database started successfully"/>
                         </target>
