Ok so you meant in any folder under the Ofbiz_home folder. or is that
now going to be ApacheOfizFrameWork_Home.

I think I see what you mean... When I wrote "drop their apps into the
framework" I was not referring to the framework directory, but rather to
the Apache OFBiz Framework, which is everything in SVN except the
"applications" directory.
So no, this doesn't mean any change in patterns of where to put your
add-in components. They can go in the hot-deploy directory, or anywhere
you want to put them and then refer to them from the component-load.xml.

Does that mean we will put the applications in the framework, like use
to be when the applications and framework were all in the components
folder, way back?

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.
