clarification:
[For those who want to just drop their app into the framework, you can
now run just about everything even if the applications directory is not
there,]
So are you saying that the application, as such will be now be put into
the framework folder, like they use to be in the components folder.

Hello all,
In preparation for doing a release candidate, and later a real release
(soon after incubator graduation), I did a bit of work to make it
possible to run the framework without the applications directory.
This included a new little feature in the entity engine to be able to
extend entities defined elsewhere using the "extend-entity" tag. There
were also a few things moved from applications to framework, and from
framework to applications. This included some important things to note
that have changed:
- control servlet request events (mainly checkLogin, login, logout,
checkExternalLoginKey, etc) are now in:
org.ofbiz.webapp.control.LoginWorker
- the LoginEventListener (referred to in web.xml files) is now here:
org.ofbiz.webapp.control.LoginEventListener
These have been updated in all of the files in OFBiz so everything
should be working fine... If you run into anything please let me know
and I'll look into it right away!
For convenience (and since doing search and replace it's not really any
extra work... ;) ) attached are some patches for the financials and
crmsfa modules.
This gets us pretty close to ready to do a complete release and a
separate framework-only release. For those who want to just drop their
app into the framework, you can now run just about everything even if
the applications directory is not there, with exception of a few pages
like the entity performance tests in WebTools that refer to the Party
and Product entities and need to be changed, probably to point to the
Example and such entities.
