Re: ecommerce use
Suhas, That depends how much time and money you are ready to invest in the development. 1. Use OOTB e-commerce application. 2. Customize OOTB e-commerce with CSS and FTL changes 3.

Re: Webtools generated XML directory doesn't import back in
There are various ways to resolve the issue with foreign keys, and sorting files is not the easiest or most effective way to do this. BTW, the import directory service can kind of figure out the file order for you by trying a directory of files over and over and in each pass removing the successful files until all are loaded (or hopefully all are loaded). There is no need to do it manually (and on a side note, there are easier ways to do it manually than setting up your files as seed data). A better approach is to just select the "dummy fks" checkbox and it will resolve missing foreign keys by adding a dummy record with just the pk. Use this only if you're pretty sure that all foreign keys will eventually be satisfied, otherwise you end up with "hanging" records that have no data and get around what foreign keys are meant to tell you, ie that data is missing that your data depends on. Still, the "dummy fks" approach is the only way to get around circular dependencies. Another option, that Jacques kind of mentioned, is to use the Check/ Update Database page to remove all fks and then load your data, then use that page again to add all fks back (And it will tell you if any fks are violated when they are added back). -David On Oct 16, 2008, at 10:50 AM, BJ Freeman wrote: the problem, from my experience, is that there are relationships PFK that do not get resolved. the only way I have found to import is to make these all part of the intial import through the build file, ofbiz-component.xml using the seed reader, so you explicitly state which files get imported in what sequence. then do an ant run-install-seed Todd Burdeinei sent the following on 10/16/2008 2:40 AM: Hello All, I hit a snag on importing the XML from an ofbiz install.

Re: Advice needed: Integrating an External Webapp with OfBiz Order Application service layer via RMI...
let me expand on that. Backend: catalog is used to display the products. content is used to display forums and blogs. Promos is generated by the catalog to be diplayed. reviews are from the content application. configurable products use the catalog and manufacturing. Cart is in the order application. Login ability and info about the customer is in the Party application. the login code is in the framework. So you see there is not much in the ecommerce but a shell to display all this info from other applications and the framework.

I don't see what you will get by trying to use the ecommerce apps with another backend, unless that backend supplies the necessary support that the ofbiz backend does. In that case it would be less effort then to use the ecommerce as a model but do the coding in same model as the backend you are working with. IMHO :D

I think you're mis-interpreting what was said. Raj said you can create your own eCommerce web application if you don't like the default. As far as I know, very few people use the eCommerce application as-is in production. Most developers use the existing eCommerce application as a *guide* to design their own. As far as dropping existing frameworks is concerned, some have found it easier to drop their existing framework and port their data over to OFBiz, rather than kludge together OFBiz with some other framework. -Adrian
Re: Advice needed: Integrating an External Webapp with OfBiz Order Application service layer via RMI...
Hi BJ, there are RMI examples in ofbiz that if one spent the time could come up with an RMI connector so another Web App or even an other cart could access the Backend. That sounds promising. I'll take a closer look. I think I can see what you are talking about in svn. Some people have sounded surprised that people would even consider not using the built-in ecommerce web app. Whilst I think the OfBiz framework is very elegant you can't expect everyone to drop their existing frameworks just to display a product list and a shopping basket! ofbiz was designed so the back end could have other application layered on it. However theres is not active participation, at this, time to have such connectors done. I fully understand. The idea of using RMI to connect a storefront with OfBiz is no different to sites which get their content from remote CMS repositories. Regards, David Legg
Re: PCI Security Standards Council Compliance
this is not an official ofbiz stance. short answer you need a person that understands security and how to test applications. http://www.qualys.com/forms/google/pci_trial/?lsid=6874&leadsource=80886 on the fire wall and the Linux firewall I have three ports open. 80, 443, and the webadmin port. I change the web admin port on a regular basis. this is a hassle but keep it from being found as easy. I review the log to see if any attempts have been made against the port. * Requirement 1 is about having a properly configured firewall. You could get fancy and use a policy reporting tool or run an automated pen testing tool to make sure the right attacks are blocked. But ultimately, just make sure the customer has simple perimeter defenses in place and working. * As of PCI 1.2, which goes live in October, antivirus (Requirement 5) is now beyond Windows devices. You need to help customers think about how they are going to "prove" viruses are blocked on Linux, Unix and Mac OS X. It's not clear whether customers will be expected to load Symantec on their mainframes, but ultimately, this is a pretty easy box to check. this is especially true for the Content side of ofbiz. * Change the default passwords (Requirement 2) on devices like firewalls and servers. Yes, if you use the default password in a wireless access point or any other device, you'll be owned. This isn't hard, but most folks don't think about it. I have added Eca that checks longing and sends a email to change it. also an Eca for password strength. they are locked out if they do not change or do not put in a proper strength password A majority of attacks now directly target Web applications, so PCI pays a lot of attention to securing Web applications in Requirement 6. Though customers need to walk before they run, some customers focus on just installing a Web application firewall and figure their work is done. Not so much. The reality is that Web application firewalls and code reviews (the key aspects of Requirement 6.6) are important, but most customers don't know what they don't know. So run a Web application scanner on the Internet-accessible applications and find out how porous those apps are. Then you can figure out how to fix the issues. This what you are ask here. but as the trunk is always changing there is no pat answer, other than do the processes each time you upgrade. Requirement 3 of PCI-DSS is all about protecting credit card data where it lives -- the database. Many organizations focus on strengthening the perimeter of the network, which I term an "outside-in" perspective. That's great and important, but not sufficient. You also need to work with your customers on looking from the inside out. This means finding all the credit card data and figuring out what systems and/or resources have access to the data. Ensure those attack vectors are protected. It also makes sense to think about database monitoring and vulnerability assessments to keep perspectives on the data, not just the systems. This will depend if you use a seperate db server. if you have the single server and the ports are closed. you only have to worry about having the webtools accessible. Logging event and other key data is the focus of Requirement 10. While it's easy to meet this requirement, it's hard to do it right. To meet the spirit of PCI-DSS you just need to gather some event data and keep it for a while. But that won't necessarily help your customers when they have to respond to an incident. I advise customers to log as much as they can, from networks, systems, databases, applications, physical security systems and so on. The more log data, the better. Make sure the customer is protecting the log data -- this includes storing off- device and cryptographically signing and sequencing -- to make sure it can be used as evidence in a prosecution. The customer can always throw log data out if they don't need it -- hopefully, they won't! also run a cron job looking for holes. I see a lot of customers that are just looking to check the box that says "compliance," as opposed to focusing on protecting the credit card data. Compliance is not a thing you finish, so when I talk to folks I always caution them against taking an "audit-centric" view of compliance. Many security gurus say security is a process, not a product or an audit, and they are right. The best way you can help your clients and ensure they don't have silly compliance errors is to help them understand the lifecycle of information protection. For better or worse, security people are never finished, and this philosophical adjustment is the best gift you can give to any client. phug sent the following on 10/16/2008 2:47 PM: > Thanks for the quick reply. > > Setting the router/firewall policies issue aside, my follow-up then is > what's required for a 'proper installation' of OfBiz to prepare for a PCI > audit.

Re: Advice needed: Integrating an External Webapp with OfBiz Order Application service layer via RMI...
The concept is that ofbiz is the backend and the store front(ecommerce) is just an application that uses the framework. Ofbiz is not Ecommerce, though it has an application that supports Ecommerce. So yes the Ecommerce depends on the backend. there are RMI examples in ofbiz that if one spent the time could come up with an RMI connector so another Web App or even an other cart could access the Backend. ofbiz was designed so the back end could have other application layered on it. However theres is not active participation, at this, time to have such connectors done.

I think it is the distributed nature of the configuration which is a stumbling block at the moment. I think your view on this subject may change after spending some time with OFBiz. Not everyone will agree that the solution you describe is ideal. Cobbling together a bunch of libraries might seem like a cool idea, but it will take a lot more work to set up and maintain. The OFBiz framework is designed to get you up and running quickly. I've been working with OFBiz for four years, and I shudder to think of using POJOs, beans, or (yuck) JSPs to build a website. The combination of OFBiz screen widgets, Groovy scripts, FreeMarker templates, and the OFBiz mini-language is far easier to use. -Adrian

Then I could incorporate those beans in a JSP page or a Cocoon pipeline or a Struts app as appropriate. I think it is the distributed nature of the configuration which is a stumbling block at the moment. If you want to run your application within the OFBiz container , you can have a look at various event handlers configured in the e-commerce controller.xml. There are event handlers for Java, SOAP etc. Thought I have not tried, you can write your own event handler to handle the Cocoon request pipeline. However, please note that this will need you to write all the logic you find out of the box in the ecommerce component. If your application runs in another container/server and it is Java, RMI is the way to go. You can still use the service framework and reuse most of the services of OFBiz. My suggestion is to create facade RMI services instead of modifying the exiting one. Thanks, Raj

Hi Flopa, Thanks for the advice, I will investigate Regards Peter Hi, There is a folder "specialpurpose" having a basic version of ebay and googlebase integration. For advanced usage, it might be necessary to use ebay WSDL and SOAP based calls rather than default implementation from there. Except products export and orders import nothing else is already done.

This could be a key issue. One way to cope with that is to use "Check/Update Database" Webtools option.

Re: Advice needed: Integrating an External Webapp with OfBiz Order Application service layer via RMI...
Hi David, I had the exactly same feeling you have now when I started looking at the OFBiz as e-commerce solution. Immediate thought that came to me why not to have my own store front in the technology of I like for example a JSP, struts etc etc. Looking deep into the system I found it was a unwarranted thought and current framework (widgets, screens, freemarker etc.) are no less than other frameworks. Going back to your question, what exactly you mean by clearly separate store front? To me it looks clearly separate as you can create your own web application and have your e-commerce store front as you want without keeping any thing from the default technologies. If you are looking for network level communication, I think RMI is the way to go if both of the applications are Java based. Recently, I had integrated OFBiz with a Liferay Portal where store front was written as a set of portlets. Thanks, Raj David Legg wrote: Hi DeAngelo, I'm a 'me-too' on this subject. It's only in the last week I got round to trying out OfBiz. After the initial Wow! factor died down I quickly realized that the storefront looks almost hard-wired to the back-end. In the short time I've been subscribed to the list I've seen several similar requests for advice on how to cleanly separate the store front from the backend with no apparent solution so far. 2) This app needs an ecommerce solutio. So in this non-ofbiz webapp, a user can add a bunch of items to a shopping cart , and click "buy" and have ofbiz handle the rest. Now, the products may be added to OFBiz using one of the out-of-the-box applications, but the user should browse the product catalog and buy shopping cart items from the external webapp Regards, David Legg
