Re: Discussion: Compound Screen Widget Files (was: Discussion: Support Screen Widget Namespaces)
From: Adrian Crum adrian.c...@yahoo.com In case anyone is wondering what the advantage is to doing things this way, I can use the Party Manager as an example. The Party Manager application is huge. For the most part, having all screens in one file, all forms in one file, all menus in one file, etc makes sense. But in an application that size, those files have become very big and monolithic. That slows down development because a lot of time is spent going from file to file and searching through the file for the bit of information you need. There are portions of the Party Manager application that are somewhat atomic and lend themselves well to being separated out. Let's use the Party Roles screen as an example. The Party Roles screen contains 1 screen widget (not including the decorators), and 4 form widgets. The screen widget is defined in PartyScreens.xml - which contains about 35 screen widgets. The form widgets are defined in PartyForms.xml - which contains around 50 form widgets. We *could* put those 4 form widgets in their own form widget file, but then we would still have an additional file to work with. The Party Roles screen requires 4 requests and 1 view map. Those requests and view map are in the controller.xml file - which is 1338 lines long. Again, we *could* put those requests and view in a separate file, but then we would still have an additional file to work with. Here is how the Party Roles screen artifacts could be organized in the proposed compound widget file: We could create a file called PartyRole.xml, and then put the 1 screen widget, 4 form widgets, 4 requests, and 1 view map in that file. All Party Role UI-related artifacts are now in one place where they are easy to find. The same process could be repeated for Party Relationships. -Adrian This makes sense indeed, I can't see any drawbacks but if you need to jump from another group of screens in Party for instance.

Party Classification Data Modeling
Looking at The Data Model Resource Book and the way OFBiz models Party Classification, it appears to me OFBiz models it wrong. According to the book, the Party Classification entity ties a Party to a Party Type with a from and thru date. In OFBiz, the Party Classification entity ties a Party to a Party Classification Group with a from and thru date. The Party Type is tied directly to Party with no from and thru date. Was that intentional? Why was it done that way? -Adrian

Let's not add another improved version, let's just improve the version we have now. I think that is more efficient and more beneficial in the long run.

Re: Party Classification Data Modeling
Looking into this more, The Data Model Resource Book mentions classification groups - but I believe the author meant that Party Types could be grouped together in classification groups.

Re: Party Classification Data Modeling
I don't think I'm generalizing anything. The book is pretty specific and clear: Party Classification is an intersection entity that sets up a many-to-many relationship between the Party entity and the Party Type entity. I understand OFBiz deviates from the book here and there, and if this is one of those cases, then I'll ask again: Why was it done that way? I'm trying to make sense of the OFBiz Party Classification model, and so far it doesn't make sense. The way it is set up, I can't give a party a classification without first creating a classification group, assign a classification type to it, and then assign the party to the classification group using party classification. In the book it's much simpler - I just assign a party type to a party using a party classification. Classification groups are Party Classification sub-types and they aren't necessary unless I want to group things a certain way. -Adrian --- On Mon, 1/3/11, David E Jones d...@me.com wrote: I think you may be taking the specific term type and generalizing it.

Re: Party Classification Data Modeling
Every single *Type entity in OFBiz is a deviation from the book (ie the *Type entities are an OFBiz pattern to avoid redundant entities and keep track of entity extensions like the Party - PartyGroup,Person thingy), as are dozens of other entities and hundreds of fields. That book is valuable for general concepts and patterns, and is not an actual data model to be used as-is. -David On Jan 3, 2011, at 5:57 PM, Adrian Crum wrote: I don't think I'm generalizing anything.

Re: Party Classification Data Modeling
Understood. If we wanted to create entities to avoid the sub-types mentioned in the book (Organization Classification, Person Classisfication, etc) then I think we could have done that in a simpler way and still keep the book's model: PartyClassificationGroupType *groupTypeId description parentGroupTypeId PartyClassificationGroup *groupTypeId *partyTypeId Anyways, I have come up with a workaround. I'll just use the existing PartyClassificationGroup the way the book uses PartyType. -Adrian --- On Mon, 1/3/11, David E Jones d...@me.com wrote: Every single *Type entity in OFBiz is a deviation from the book (ie the *Type entities are an OFBiz pattern to avoid redundant entities and keep track of entity extensions like the Party - PartyGroup,Person thingy), as are dozens of other entities and hundreds of fields.

Database connection
Sir, Hi sir i am new to apache ofbiz and now i use the ofbiz i want details about database connection in ofbiz the step by step manner.. -- By ~...@kalai@~`~~
Re: Database connection
Dear Kalai, I believe you will definitely enjoy working on this framework. However firstly let me know what database you are willing to use. Is it derby, mysql,etc.. In order to configure the database you need to have the database driver made available inside framework/entity/lib/jdbc folder. Then whatever database you are willing to use give the details for the database its connection in entityengine.xml for particular one eg localderby, localmysql etc. Just run the framework using java -jar ofbiz.jar once, for the first time the database structure gets automatically populated. If you wish to load the seed demo data you can write the command java -jar ofbiz.jar -install -readers=seed,demo,ext You can then use the editor for the corresponding database to view manipulate it. Hope it would help you. - Kind Regards, Vivek J -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Database-connection-tp3173046p3173053.html Sent from the OFBiz - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
