-----------------------------------

Jacques

You're the man with the plan.

This essentially copies the POS, so if you can tell me how to connect to your 
machine, I would love to give it a try.  The only way I know how to do it us to 
modify entityengine.xml to point to a different DB.

I know BJ does it with a custom http interface.  Sounds like there are others.

I agree with the  boss who wanted you to use deprecated machines.  Just the 
other day, I changed out a machine that was still running Windows 3.1, a 
pre-prentium machine.  And, the machine worked so well still, the guy kept it 
for a backup.  My current Ofbiz customer has 50 866 pentiums that he is not 
going to get rid of.

The point is that there are lots of businesses "pathetic" machines and our 
market is wider if we write software that will run on them.  I think World of 
Warcraft is a prime example.

> This issue makes available a new desktop application that allows sales order 
> entry.  It is similar in concept to the pos module.
> The difference is that it essentially duplicates the functionality 
> Order-Order Entry screen.  It is useful if you have backoffice sales people 
> taking lots of orders.
> It is architecturally different from the POS in that it is designed to have 
> an interface to the Ofbiz engine in whatever manner you want.   My intent was 
> to produce both direct and java-rpc connections,  but only the direct 
> connection is done.  See the com.fs.data.DataConnection and com.fs.data. 
> OfbizDataConnection classes for more details.
> This runs, but is not finished.  I have been pulled off to finish the AR and 
> Purchasing work, and I expect that to take a month or two.  So, I am offering 
> this advanced look in case there are others who can use it or would like to 
> contribute.
> Note that I do not expect this to be part of the Ofbiz distribution because 
> the code formatting does not follow the Ofbiz guidelines.  However, I have no 
> intention of changing the formatting.  I have over a million lines of java 
> code using this formatting and I do not intend to change at this point.
> To install this, unzip the attached file in your specialpurpose directory and 
> follow the minimal installation instructions in the docs subdirectory.
> The basics are reprinted here:
> Copy specialpurpose\fs\configfiles/fssoe-containers.xml to 
> framework\base\config.
> Copy specialpurpose\fs\/configfiles/fssoe.properties to 
> framework\base\build\classes\start\org\ofbiz\base\start
> Add:
> <load-component component-location="${ofbiz.home}/specialpurpose/fs"/>
> To specialpurpose/component-load.xml
> Run ant with no arguments in the Ofbiz root directory
> You can then run the application with:
> java -Xms256M -Xmx512M -Duser.language=en -jar ofbiz.jar fssoe
