Stepping back a little the simple fact is that the Order Manager Order
Entry was built to only support one outstanding order at a time. It
sounds like it is working correctly, you're just editing the same
order in both tabs/windows.
Notice that there is no way to see a list of orders being worked on or
switch between them. What you are imagining should work, ie different
orders in different windows, would only be the case (as Anil
mentioned) if those different windows used different sessions... which
they don't. To get a different session you must have a different user,
a different browser, or find some place in the applications where the
jsessionid is lost from one page to another (which WOULD be a bug).
In short, this isn't a bug, it sounds like its an expectation of a
feature that is not implemented yet.
If someone wants to work on this it would be cool, and has certainly
been discussed many times. The easiest way would be to have a List of
carts in the session and a screen to change which one is the "active"
cart, and to create a new/empty active cart.

Deepesh,
Can you confirm that you used
1) Two different browsers like firefox and IE
2) Check URL if sessionId of two windows was same.
In case if sessionid of both windows is same then consider this as
normal behavior. This issues is resolved by some frameworks by
introducing conversation scope.

Guys , i followed the steps to trace the behavior. To be
more precise i took these steps :
1. Used two different browser windows.
2. Used two different parties and simultaniously moved forward to
create order.
Result :
Only one order gets created ( the first one ) and the second
browser gives the error message. According to me there is nothing
unexpected in this , it will be great for me if you can elaborate
the behavior noticed by you.

Hi,
I recently discovered there was a major bug in the create order
in the
'Order' application. To reproduce the buy, please do as following:
Login to the admin side and select 2 different party in the 'party'
application in 2 different browser windows and proceed to create
a order
for, say party A, in window A. Now when you are in the last
screen to
confirm/create order, just stop there and do not press the submit
button.
Now, in window 2, for party B, proceed just aas above and stop in
the last
page before submitting the order.
Now, select the window 1 and press the submit order button for
party A.
This should have create a order for party A, with the items
contained in
shopping cart of party A, but you will probably see that the
shipping
address associate with the order is that of party B.
In substance, if one tries to create orders simultaneoulsy in the
'order'
application, ofbiz may throw un-expected results. And this is not
just a
bug, but a huge security issue too.
Please do let me know if it happens for others too, in which case
i will
open a JIRA issue for the same.
Thanks,
Rohit
