Hey Anil, I've begun some of this already. I'm taking the approach of passing the cart to a simple method that first checks the order type and then calls a method or service that is focused on that order type. Each order type service will call a multitude of methods/services that prepare the cart data to be entered into the datasource.
I would love to collaborate on this, but because of the size, it's rather difficult to do by passing patches back and forth through JIRA without having a reference point that SVN provides. This is one of those things that the ofbiz-sandbox project would be good for, but it still has a legal issue that will prevent it from being entered back into the project. I can as an individual grant Apache the license it needs for the work I do, you as an individual can grant Apache the license it needs for the work you do, but without each of us assuming the liability of a partnership we cannot grant a license for the work as a whole. The only way around this is to use ofbiz-sandbox SVN and make patches for each commit and each of us resubmit our own patch to OFBiz JIRA with the order they need to be applied in. This would be sooooo much easier if the members of OFBiz PMC would respond on including a public sandbox in Apache OFBiz as each SVN commit will be licensed to Apache, and Apache will be the owner of the work as a whole instead of an impromptu partnership being the owner. --- Anil Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I planning to participate in this developer conference.
