Re: does anyone know ofbiz?
Hi Sharan: I'm working towards that end. I'm certainly a long way off. But ultimately, I'd like to have a set of resources available to: 1) Train end users on how to use OFBiz to run their business. (I guess that starts with, should you even be looking at OFBiz to run your business.) 2) Train consultants on how to configure (setup, customize - whatever you want to call it) primary OFBiz features to meet specific business requirements. I'm not so much interested in showing developers how to write new OFBiz applications. I think there is an abundance of that kind of information out there. No? I'd be happy to discuss this with you either through this forum or offline.

multiple merchants upload their own products -- extend catalog manager?
I see that I can upload products and catalogs via the catalog manager. If I want multiple merchants to upload their own products, vaguely analogous to ebay, is it correct to say that I need to extend the catalog manager? or is that functionality already available? Thanks, Patrick
Re: How to get a handle on the e-commerce engine?
Hi Ylan: Great question! I appreciate your honesty. IMO the OOTB OFBiz eCommerce and Catalog Manager features/function covered in my books have not changed significantly from the release of 4.0 that I used. There have been enhancements - but not many in the eCommerce component. The reason I used a 4.0 release, BTW, was because at the time I started writing the books (about last June), the 9.04 eCommerce demo store had lots of bugs in the screen renderings. I couldn't get good clean screen shots for inclusion in the books. Those have since been fixed and committed back to the project. Everything you see in the eCommerce book is true for release 9.04. Unfortunately, the Catalog Manager has actually digressed in one very important way (from an end-user's perspective) since I finished the book. You can no longer replace a web store logo using the Catalog Manager. You must use themes. Aside from that, I believe everything else is the same. There are some enhancements, dynamic theme selection being the biggest one in the 9.04 Catalog Manager. (Theme selection, however only effects the look and feel of the Catalog Manager and other back-end tools and not the eCommerce demo site.) But not many. In fact, my plans for the upgrade to this book are mostly new screen shots and more product management "howtos". For example, setting up complicated hierarchies of catalogs/categories and product bundling.

Re: Eclipse plugin.
Hans, I don't remember why I did not decide to use it. Do you use it regularly, is it stable ?

Re: does anyone know ofbiz?
I agree, Something that would be very interesting for OFBiz and would give us more power, David already suggested that, would be to use the artifact info underneath to provide a tool, like an Eclipse plugin, to navigate in OFBiz, like you do in Java. But yes, it's not the same scope at the same level, in the past this was called RAD Jacques From: "David E Jones" The UBPL stories might be helpful for you Chris, but I think they are different from what you are looking for. The goal of UBPL is to get people collaborating in a more structured way on gathering requirements, and then based on those requirements collaborate on designs, and THEN collaborate on implementation of those designs. It is not an attempt to document what is already in OFBiz, but rather to document common business requirements in the form of processes to help refine and flesh-out OFBiz (ie to drive the future of OFBiz). The reason for this goal is that typically there has been little if any collaboration on requirements and designs in OFBiz. This works to some extent because the OFBiz base applications (those in the components in the ofbiz/applications directory) are meant to be generic and reusable, and that means organized around a data model and NOT around business processes in order to support a wider variety of business processes, and so the artifacts are reusable in custom or derived applications that are designed to support a wide variety of business processes. In other words, you could try to document the business processes supported by OFBiz, but you would never finish because there is no single process or even a small set of processes that OFBiz supports... it really a very large set of processes. Your best bet to find things in OFBiz is to gain an understanding of the data model, and then to use tools like the Artifact Info stuff in web tools to find related artifacts (ie controller requests and views, screens, forms, service definitions, service implementations, and so on. When you do this you'll see a number of process snippets that are modeled as services (like creating an order), or triggers that get other processes going in the form of ECA rules (like creating an invoice for part or all of an order when items from that order are in a packed shipment). I'm actually a little bit surprised that no one else has brought up these points. This has been discussed many many times. Or maybe I've presented it many many times and no one believes me...? -David On Jan 25, 2010, at 8:25 AM, Jeroen van der Wal wrote: Hi Chris, There is already an initiative do document high-level processes: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBREQDES/Universal+Business+Process+Library+Index Jeroen van der Wal Stromboli b.v. +31 655 874050 On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Chris Snow wrote: Hi Ruth, I wouldn't even say it's difficult to figure out the existing applications.

Once you understand the basics, it is relatively easy to develop data driven web applications with the OFBiz framework. I've been doing just that for several years now. All that "nasty" database stuff is taken care of - leaving me free to develop real world solutions in short order. What is much more difficult is to figure out how to use the existing applications to solve real world problems. I'm still struggling with that.

It's is relatively quick to learn how to develop standalone apps in ofbiz. I believe with ofbiz, you can develop small applications as quickly as you can in MS Access - with a lot more benefits when using ofbiz (multiuser, web enabled, extendable, etc). However, in my opinion, it takes years of experience to be able to use the existing apps (partymgmt, ordermgmt, etc).

Perhaps an eclipse ofbiz plug would be more useful than process documentation? I.e. being able to "efficiently" navigate all this meta data from within the development environment?
