Property with 2 subproperties

[fmberqui]

Hello,

I´m having problems trying to extend the model, and I don´t know if it´s possible what I want to do.

I want to make something like a book´s shop, where a book can have some prices that will depend of the usergroup which user belongs to. For example, a book can cost 10 € to a user of group1 and 20 € to a user that belongs to group2 and I need to store this and show it. Too, I will need to take these values via WebServices but first, I need to store them.

Is this possible?

Thank you so much.

A simple solution could be to store two or more properties (price_group1, price_group2 ecc..) in your custom type and create a custom webscript that:
- checks current user and his groups
- creates a custom response (json, xml…) with the correct value of property price

I hope this helps you

Thanks for the answer.

The problem is that the groups will be created dinamically, so I need to store so many properties and list so many groups as groups.

I dont think if that is possible…

hi,
the easiest solution would be to use a d:text property & store your book prices as json, e.g.

{
 default_price: 10,
 special_prices:[
 {
  group: "group1",
  price : 5
},
 {
  group: "group2",
  price : 15
}
]

}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

it's dirty, but if you don't like to query this property it is a common workaround.
Cheers, jan

You mean store it on xml model?

[mrogers]

No its stored as text containing JSON.   As Jan says above its dirty.

An alternative way to do it would be a "price" object.  So each book could have a collection of prices.      That may or may not fit your requirement better.

Objects sounds good, but I´m new developing on Alfresco, can you give me some link where explain how to create objects? I suppose that they will be something like a bean where specific some properties, right?

Thank you so much for all the answers.
