Nicolas Malin commented on OFBIZ-382:
-------------------------------------
Hello, I don't understand the interest to use an externalId on party while we
have a partyIdentification entity.
I think it would be better to use PartyIdentification like GoodIdentification
from Product to extend the search on external ofbiz id.
[my life] I never realize a project without 3 or 4 different external party
identification[/my life] so when I see this issue, it's a little bit light on
comparison with the existing ;)
> Implement Party lookup by External Id

> Key: OFBIZ-382
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-382
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: party
> Reporter: John Martin
> Assignee: Deepak Dixit
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Upcoming Branch
>
> Attachments: OFBIZ-382.patch, OFBIZ-382_new.patch

> It would be helpful for anyone whom is integrating ofBiz with an external
> application to be able to expose the externalId property in the Party entity.
>
> The tasks to complete include:
> - Update the findparty.ftl to include the prompt/form input field for the
> external id
> - Update the PartyServices.findParty() method to include the logic to handle
> the externalId argument
> - Add new method getPartyFromExternalId to PartyServices
> - Add getPartyFromExternalId service definition in Party
> servicedef/services_view.xml
> - Add misc local strings to UI label resource file
> Need to determine if the External Id: input form field should be
> configuarable so that it only appears if feature is enabled.
