merge vs. override.

[dream2732]

[I am using broadleaf commerce 3.0.0]

In "customizing add to cart" tutorial, there was a requirement to define our own blAddItemWorkflow bean to override the original bean definition. I did that in my own context xml file and hoped that it would override, however, it didn't. I turned on the debug, and here's the blAddItemWorkflow definition (note that it is merged, not override)

<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.workflow.SequenceProcessor" id="blAddItemWorkflow">
<property name="processContextFactory">
<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.order.service.workflow.CartOperationProcessContextFactory"/>
</property>
<property name="activities">
<list>
<ref bean="blValidateAddRequestActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddOrderItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddFulfillmentGroupItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowPriceOrderIfNecessaryActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowVerifyFulfillmentGroupItemsActivity"/>
<ref bean="ValidateHeatRangeRestrictionActivity"/> <!-- this is tutorial's activity, everything else is repeated -->
<ref bean="blValidateAddRequestActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddOrderItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddFulfillmentGroupItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowPriceOrderIfNecessaryActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowVerifyFulfillmentGroupItemsActivity"/>
</list>
</property>
<property name="defaultErrorHandler" ref="blDefaultErrorHandler"/>
</bean>

As a result of this merge, it is giving me this error, when I add to cart : "Not enough fulfillment group items found for DiscreteOrderItem id". I was able to get rid of this error by providing only the tutorial activity ValidateHeatRangeRestrictionActivity in my context xml, in which case a merged bean definition looked like this:


<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.workflow.SequenceProcessor" id="blAddItemWorkflow">
<property name="processContextFactory">
<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.order.service.workflow.CartOperationProcessContextFactory"/>
</property>
<property name="activities">
<list>
<ref bean="blValidateAddRequestActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddOrderItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddFulfillmentGroupItemActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowPriceOrderIfNecessaryActivity"/>
<ref bean="blAddWorkflowVerifyFulfillmentGroupItemsActivity"/>
<ref bean="ValidateHeatRangeRestrictionActivity"/> <!-- this is tutorial's activity, everything else is repeated -->
</list>
</property>
<property name="defaultErrorHandler" ref="blDefaultErrorHandler"/>
</bean>

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to truly override the original bean definition?

Many thanks!
