Karl,
I would recommend considering to use OFBiz Jira because of licence
reasons ("joint works" are not eligible to be commited). Jonathon is
able to explain that deeper to you if needed. You may also find
discussions about this topic in Nabble (using "joint works" research).
Thanks
Jacques

Hi Jonathan, hi Chris,
thank you for your feedback (and also thank you for stiring up a
hornet's nest ;-) )
@Chris: I will try to answer your questions on the wiki page:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Key-Work+Ofbiz+Contribution+Proposal
I think this is more comfortable to retrace.
@Jonathan: It's a great offer you made to take a look on our code and
to
evtl. merge it! What's the best way to provide the code to you?
I'll have to prepare some things before:
- for historical reasons we have a CVS repository and I
or one of my colleagues will set up an SVN client. Is it more
convenient to
you to get an archive for the first review or would you recommend to
pump the sources into a repository? (where?)
- I already have added the Apache-Header (ASL) to all of the classes
we might contribute.
- I'll have to replace all tabs in the sources by 4 spaces.
The rest I think should be not too complex, our last framework merge
(with trunk) was on 2007-01-05, I don't think there are dramatic low
level interface changes since then.
We have already switched to Java 6 but all the classes to be
contributed
are compileable with Java 1.4.
Regards.
Karl
BTW: During the next weeks there may be some "communication delays"
because I'll not be in the office all the time. So please don't worry if
an email answer needs some days, thanks!

Betreff: Re: Ofbiz Contribution Proposal
Hi Karl,
I had the opportunity today to quickly read over your introductions.
And must say it looks very interesting. Unfortunately, for my being
able to add input to the process, the improvements are in areas as an
OFBiz user, that I take for granted and don't really get my hands
dirty
with.
I'll need to read over the transaction part again to ask any
intelligent questions, so I'll leave that for later.
The custom SQL stuff looked very interesting and probably one of the
larger areas of benefit as more and more people are getting to the
point of locating bottlenecks in their applications. I was wondering
if there might be some benefit in encapsulating the stored sql
statements it in an XML structure to be able to better take advantage
of some META data/commenting that you discussed as well as potential
of
some reusability and structuring of those custom statements.
Perhaps, I need to reread the logging discussion again, and ask if
this
is largely supported among other databases, but can't most of these
logging of the sql statements be handled in the database's log, if
configured to do so? I recall a mention that the developer may not
have sufficient access to the database server to ascertain the
database
logs...is this case where the logging proposal would be more
beneficial?
Thank you and Key-Work very much for bringing these enhancements back
to the community!

Hi,
we use Ofbiz (mostly the entity engine) for over 2 years now.
Last year I had mail contact with David.
He recommended to contribute changes to the Ofbiz Community
regularly
whenever possible and useful.
It is a long time since this happened, but we finally convinced our
management to try
to contribute some changes and extensions to the Ofbiz community.
I read the FAQ and found out that especially complex changes might
take a long time
and we may need some "community attendance".
David told me to place our proposal at the Ofbiz-WIKI
and to send a link to this mailing list.
This is our "trial balloon" to find out whether our changes and
improvements
are welcome and how we could integrate them during the next months.
I.e. the following extensions may also be interesting for other
members
of the community:
* Advanced custom SQL integration
* advanced sorting (locale, collation, natural sort)
* completely refactored TransactionUtil with documentation and
hints
* on-demand "real"-sql-logging for ALL ofbiz statements
...
I placed our stuff at
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Key-Work+Ofbiz+Contribution+Proposal
and hope one of the "Ofbiz gurus" will have a look at the attached
stuff to make a statement.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Karl Eilebrecht
