Perhaps we should add a require-new-transaction attribute to the screen element?

It looks like you're getting into why this happens. Screen rendering is done 
within a big single transaction. If you want parts of the screen to fail 
independently of other parts of the screen, they need to be in a separate 
transaction (ie pause the original, start new, commit/rollback new, resume 
original). Just rolling back a failed transaction and leaving the rest of the 
screen hanging is probably not a good idea.

Maybe more explanations, provided by Ruth, and then everybody will be happy again for a long time (without kids: in French for "And 
they lived happily ever after" we say "ils vécurent heureux et eurent beaucoup d'enfants" which means "they lived happily and had 
many children", the marvellous time of Failry tales...)

Just the way it has always been done. You evaluate the download, decide
what changes you'd like to make, and then set about making those

All I'm suggesting is the we make the evaluation of OFBiz easier for
those who are new to the project by minimizing the possible problems
that may arise when getting started. Note, this was how OFBiz was
distributed as recently as 4 months ago. There is nothing new here!

Hi BJ:
My suggestion - as I have said many times before - is for the official
Apache OFBiz download page (http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html) to
provide a link to download of a "stable released" version of OFBiz
that is:

Pre-built (all jar files included)
Has the seed, demo and all other available data loaded into the
currently distributed database - which is Derby
And the name of this file should have the SVN version number
included in it. (This is just in case someone like me would like to
participate and provide JIRA posts.)

I'm not concerned with developer's site or the snapshot site. IMHO, no
new user should ever be downloading from these sites unless they
understand upfront how all this works. [To keep this all in
perspective:
You don't see the Tomcat people pointing new users to the
development/source code site.]

Prettty simple.

2010-08-26 Thread James McGill

I make two portlets.  One of them calls a service.  If that service has an
error, it causes another portlet to render a stack trace.

I put steps to reproduce in a Jira ticket.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3903

This is 9.04.  Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.  Is there some way to
flush the dispatcher?  I hope someone can look at this and explain what's
going on.

Hi BJ:
Sorry, my mistake. Yes, I meant seed and demo data. IMHO, the OFBiz
Release that is on the official download page should be fully
functional
out-of-the-box. For example, if you download a version of Tomcat or
the
Apache web server, you get a fully functional demonstration of how
these
work out-of-the-box. The value in this is that if the user
attempts to
install Tomcat and does not get the index.html page (or whatever the
startup page is these days) then they know something is wrong
with the
download and/or with the unpacking of the code.

In the OFBiz case, because is at least one additional step is
involved
and at least 2 more variables are thrown in the mix: Java and
building
jar files & loading demo data - if something goes wrong, well, for a
seasoned user such as yourself, no big deal. But for inexperienced
OFBiz
users, it may mean the difference between giving up and going to
another
project or simply downloading it again.

Maybe no big deal to the developers who frequent this list. But
certainly a big deal to potential new users.

Just my 2cents.

Re: Setup of ofbiz, was Unable to find ofbiz.jar file


Hi BJ:
Just the way it has always been done. You evaluate the download, decide 
what changes you'd like to make, and then set about making those 
changes. Nothing new in that.


All I'm suggesting is the we make the evaluation of OFBiz easier for 
those who are new to the project by minimizing the possible problems 
that may arise when getting started. Note, this was how OFBiz was 
distributed as recently as 4 months ago. There is nothing new here!

Hi BJ:
My suggestion - as I have said many times before - is for the official
Apache OFBiz download page (http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html) to
provide a link to download of a "stable released" version of OFBiz
that is:

Pre-built (all jar files included)
Has the seed, demo and all other available data loaded into the
currently distributed database - which is Derby
And the name of this file should have the SVN version number
included in it. (This is just in case someone like me would like to

I'm not concerned with developer's site or the snapshot site. IMHO, no

understand upfront how all this works. [To keep this all in 
perspective:

You don't see the Tomcat people pointing new users to the

provide a link to download of a "stable released" version of OFBiz that is:


   Pre-built (all jar files included)
   Has the seed, demo and all other available data loaded into the
   currently distributed database - which is Derby
   And the name of this file should have the SVN version number
   included in it. (This is just in case someone like me would like to
   participate and provide JIRA posts.)

I'm not concerned with developer's site or the snapshot site. IMHO, no 
new user should ever be downloading from these sites unless they 
understand upfront how all this works. [To keep this all in perspective: 
You don't see the Tomcat people pointing new users to the 
development/source code site.]


Prettty simple.

Ruth

Hi BJ:
Sorry, my mistake. Yes, I meant seed and demo data. IMHO, the OFBiz
Release that is on the official download page should be fully functional
out-of-the-box. For example, if you download a version of Tomcat or the
Apache web server, you get a fully functional demonstration of how these
work out-of-the-box. The value in this is that if the user attempts to
install Tomcat and does not get the index.html page (or whatever the
startup page is these days) then they know something is wrong with the
download and/or with the unpacking of the code.

In the OFBiz case, because is at least one additional step is involved
and at least 2 more variables are thrown in the mix: Java and building
jar files & loading demo data - if something goes wrong, well, for a
seasoned user such as yourself, no big deal. But for inexperienced OFBiz
users, it may mean the difference between giving up and going to another
project or simply downloading it again.

Maybe no big deal to the developers who frequent this list. But
certainly a big deal to potential new users.

Just my 2cents.

Hi All:
I respectfully beg to differ here:

There is no reason for a small business to have to use SVN in order to
implement OFBiz. While it is nice to have that functionality, and I 
miss

the SVN version information that is no longer available in the recent
"releases" from the download site, I've successfully implement many an
OFBiz application without ever using the SVN functionality. Of course,
I'm just one developer - SVN really shines when you have multiple
developers working on the same code.

Secondly, why would the compiled binary always be updated? I thought
once a "Release" was released, the only updates are bug fixes. And 
from

past conversations on this list, those only happen - maybe once a
quarter.

This is not rocket science. The proposal to re-instate the binary jar
files and install the seed-data for a fully functional version of 
OFBiz

- one that runs out-of-the-box, is what was available as an official
Apache OFBiz Release and download as recently as 4 months ago. Then,
someone decided (ok Adrian, say what you must) to change this.

Re: Migration component Ideas


as far as UI yes.
as far as steps no. what was shown was setup but not migration.
coming from a background of doing complete desktop/server roll-outs for

generate the needed changes.
One of those steps is to create new database initialize the tables then

From past experience this could take a day or more for very large

then a final re-sync for new data and a switch to new code that my

Before making such changes it will give you a list of these and ask if

were not done in best practices.

Hopefully the best practices has been followed and all the changes are
in the hot-deploy, in which case there is nothing the upgrade will

Also for such conditions it would be best to run the migration against a

Re: Setup of ofbiz, was Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

The focal point of the thread was when someone, not knowledgeable,
downloads ofbiz how much should they know before using it.

currently the Demo allows someone to run obiz to see how it works,
however derby is not a production db and the db needs to be changed.

creating tables on the fly is not the issue, since that is a standard
Database function. Also Hibernate uses only one database. Ofbiz uses
something similar to JPA so that is not the issue.

It is determining which database use, then installing the proper data
Production (seed and ext). So the default db (derby) can be used for
Demo data.
However if you use mysql, postgres or any of the others that requires
setup of the entityengine.xml.
If you running in ofbiz under a setup program this requires a restart of
ofbiz.
At this point in ofbiz development, the Build.xml provides the ability
to generate this, after manually setting up the entityengine.xml

The added step that is not present in ofbiz for setup is to transfer the
setup that has been generated so far in derby to the new database that
had been initialize.

So one question is for Releases do we want to have them as demos.
if yes it is a no brainier to compile and load the datga like is done
for the nightly builds.

However when you switch to production requires a lot of configuration.
Though ofbiz has developed a framework for setup, it is far from doing
all that is necessary.

Having a binary only though is a different story. the Only compiled
executable code that makes the jars, is java. However the minilang is
interpreted on the fly and can not be removed as well as the FTL
template for Widgets.

as far a ant, the effort should be to move installation into the Setup
component, with screens to ask you which setup you want, production or
demo. it should lead you through the technical setup.
see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

Then you have the setup for the type of business one runs.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3852

so first you use derby to do initial setup then after you setup the
Entityengine.xml the setup to that stage is transferred to the new db.
however ofbiz would, first, need to do a cold reboot and initialize
the new DB.
Oh yes this setup is usually running on a remote server.

Most of the other Apache project provides a binary only and source only
releases. And this reduces the size of the tar balls and people can
download what suite them better. Problem with OFBiz is there is a no
binary only distribution as compiled code stays within the source in
build folder. Ideally, all compiled jars should be moved out to lib

ofbiz is not the standard App you find.

jQuery Branch

2010-08-26 Thread usemetoemail

Hello All,

Is there a demo version of the jQuery branch available? Would that branch
likely become the default for ofbiz in the future?

Re: ant create-component

 the seed data against the demo data you will see there is no company 
name put in.
so you have to created ext data that will supply the company name the 
same way the demo data does,

or use the setup tab after you are running.

If you intended to say to run 'ant run-install-seed' or 'ant

that confirms what I said.
I assumed you have followed the

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide
as well as initialized your own data if not using the demo data.

otherwise edit your
config/ProfilerUiLabels.xml and put in the company name there.

application/x-json issue in FF (3.6.8)

Testing the work commited at revision: 989599, I crossed again an issue I have for a long time in FF with application/x-json, and I 
guess application/json as well (I'm on Windows but I don't think it's the reason). When I press the Add or Update button when 
editing a facility at https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/ProductStoreFacilities?productStoreId=9000, the FF download popup 
window surges and I'm trapped there. Even if the action is correctly executed underneath (I can see it if I refresh the page). I did 
not find any good solution either using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10869/ or 
http://www.spasche.net/openinbrowser/ because they only allow to see the file. I did not find yet a way to bypass the dowload popup 
window.


Note: to test the behaviour you need to update at least to r989599

Anyone an idea or a solution?

Thanks

Jacques

Re: Setup of ofbiz, was Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

I don't think any problem with it as a developer. However, a binary only 
release should not have build time tool chain. For binary only release, 
there will not be a build.xml and no ant.

as far a ant, the effort should be to move installation into the Setup 
component, with screens to ask you which setup you want, production or demo. it 
should lead you through the technical setup.
see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

Then you have the setup for the type of business one runs.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3852

so first you use derby to do initial setup then after you setup the 
Entityengine.xml the setup to that stage is transferred to the new db.
however ofbiz would, first, need to do a cold reboot and initialize the new DB.
Oh yes this setup is usually running on a remote server.

Should it not be possible to load the demo or seed data without using
Ant? It think it is possible using startofbiz.sh or startofbiz.bat file.

Most of the other Apache project provides a binary only and source only
releases. And this reduces the size of the tar balls and people can
download what suite them better. Problem with OFBiz is there is a no
binary only distribution as compiled code stays within the source in
build folder. Ideally, all compiled jars should be moved out to lib
after building the jars. This should be possible by tweaking the build
scripts. I have this in my mind for long and hopefully, I will get some
time soon and work on it.

Hi Jacques,

Now that you've brought up the topic, I wonder why most of the other ASF
projects provide jar files with their distributions? In fact, most
others provide jar (or other binary) files as the primary and first
download link that you find when navigating to the project's ASF
website.

Just curious as to how someone here came up with the current
interpretation of the ASF rules on releases and then went ahead and
organized the "official" download page as it stands today.

Re: ECA Related Issue

That's because the Entity ECA handler only has the entity fields of CustRequest 
to work with.  Any input parameters that aren't used by the createCustRequest 
service never make it past the service event handler into the call chain.

Re: Setup of ofbiz, was Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

2010-08-26 Thread Raj Saini

There are plenty of applications around now a days. Technologies like 
JPA, Hibernate allows creation of tables on the fly. Take example of 
Liferay Portal Server and it gives you a portal configured with demo data.

as far a ant, the effort should be to move installation into the Setup 
component, with screens to ask you which setup you want, production or 
demo. it should lead you through the technical setup.

see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide 



Then you have the setup for the type of business one runs.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3852

so first you use derby to do initial setup then after you setup the 
Entityengine.xml the setup to that stage is transferred to the new db.
however ofbiz would, first, need to do a cold reboot and initialize 
the new DB.

Oh yes this setup is usually running on a remote server.

feel free to contribute.

Should it not be possible to load the demo or seed data without using
Ant? It think it is possible using startofbiz.sh or startofbiz.bat file.

Most of the other Apache project provides a binary only and source only
releases. And this reduces the size of the tar balls and people can
download what suite them better. Problem with OFBiz is there is a no
binary only distribution as compiled code stays within the source in
build folder. Ideally, all compiled jars should be moved out to lib
after building the jars. This should be possible by tweaking the build
scripts. I have this in my mind for long and hopefully, I will get some
time soon and work on it.

Thanks,

Raj

ofbiz is not the standard App you find.
In my opinion, the way it is setup up the basic question like started

Until there is sufficient documentation to take someone through every

we will have support questins. Oh wait Microsoft spends thousand of

Now that you've brought up the topic, I wonder why most of the

the Final release has not changed it format. it is the code minus all

up till the final release of 9.04(zip) there were only the branch and

The Branch is source code only and access via the svn.
the nightly builds are compiled and have the demo data loaded.

Hi Laxmiraghu:
Unfortunately, the project recently decided to change the way
OFBiz is
distributed. And, they pretty much forgot to tell anyone. The jar
file
is no longer part of the distribution as it was as recently as 6
months
ago. You MUST now build OFBiz prior to startup. The build process as
described in various locations around the community will create
all the
necessary jar files.

For more information on this including very simple build
instructions,
you may download my free document "How To Get OFBiz Code (Release
9.04)"
at http://www.myofbiz.com/cms01

BTW, inclusion of the necessary jar files could change any day
since the
decision to do such things appear to be arbitrarily arrived out
by the
project commiters or whoever is responsible for setting up the
builds.

Good luck.

Password is a mysql system function that generates a hash from the argument 
given.
Just the syntax/typo that caused mysql to produce that error.


|its either IDENTIFIED BY '/password/String'

or

PASSWORD('passwordString');

Re: Error - Migrating from Derby to MySQL


that is a question best asked in the Mysql Forum for fastest response.
it has to-do with setting up Mysql not ofbiz.

Re: ant create-component


that confirms what I said.
I assumed you have followed the
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide
as well as initialized your own data if not using the demo data.

otherwise edit your
config/ProfilerUiLabels.xml and put in the company name there.

Re: ECA Related Issue

The call to createWorkEffort is missing required parameters, you are probably 
better off either using a service group to combine the two services into one or 
create a wrapping service to do the same.  Service ECAs are really only useful 
when the additional services don't require anything additional in the context 
other than what is going in to or coming out of the triggering service.

Error - Migrating from Derby to MySQL

2010-08-26 Thread OfBizSuds


I am trying to get ofbiz to work with MySQL DB instead of the default Derby
db. Tried following instructions given in the Production setup & that in the
llnk 
http://www.flagword.net/2010/06/29/how-to-migrate-ofbiz-from-derby-to-mysql-db/

Has anyone tried this? 

I exported the data to XML thru webtools. Then created a Mysql db called
ofbiz & one more called ofbizolap as per instructins given. I can see the 2
databases created also in mySQL (thru Netbeans IDE)

When I try the line 
grant all privileges on ofbiz.* to 'ofbiz'@'localhost' identified by
password 'ofbiz';
OR
grant all privileges on ofbizolap.* to 'ofbiz'@'localhost' identified by
password 'ofbizolap';

I get the error "Password hash should be a 41-digit hexadecimal number"

Any ideas how to fix this??

Re: ant create-component


looks about right
if you look at
"uiLabelMap.ProfilerCompanyName
this is found in your the config/ProfilerUiLabels.xml
this overrides layoutSettings.companyName that is initialize elsewhere.
so you need to comment out this line.

Unfortunately, my startup doesn't generate any errors. (my compliments for

The content of my CommonScreens.xml doesn't seem that different, see below:


 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When you mentioned loading datafiles I browsed through them and noticed it

I also noticed that there is no entry for the application in the website

Could that have something to do with it?
