Re: Trunk demo error

[Jacques Le Roux]

Sorry we can't help much on this. It seems that at least upgrading Ubuntu has not effect, we use now kernel 2.6.32-36-server. Could 
you try another machine?

I am on Centos release 5.5 final
kernel is 2.6.18-xenU-ec2-v1.0
JDK is 1_6_29

Thanks!



I upgraded Ubuntu and the linux kernel and restarted trunk and branch
10.

Jacques, can you see if t helped?

I wanted to show those information from trunk demo, but unfortunately,

Coud you please send your OS and JDK information (very precise

In the meantime you can revert r1202849

Hi Jaques,

remove the '/login' from:

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/login/main?USERNAME=admin&PASSWORD=ofbiz&JavaScriptEnabled=Y



I already did that in the website index.html and updated the site,
however the change does not come through

I don't know from where it comes since locally ant clean-all
run-install run works like a charm. I can see only the JDK version
used: jdk1.6.0_23, but that sounds weird. I certainly miss something
but have not enough time to even think about it...

For now I will continue to stay at r1201941 for trunk demo, until this
issue is resolved.

There are also issues with the catalago/categories tree that I can't
reproduce locally. This seems to only appear when you enter
using parameters for credential and js state:
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/login/main?USERNAME=admin&PASSWORD=ofbiz&JavaScriptEnabled=Y


(then just try to click on  "Gizmos [BEST-SELL-1]" for instance)

It seems the tree problems are related to our demo instance since
nobody complains about them. So I think we can forget about them. On
the other hand, r1202849 is a blocker

Re: Tax calculation for all order adjustments

[BJ Freeman]

I am not familiar with VAT so I can not comment on the best way to
approach this for VAT.
For USA our Tax Authority is based on Government (IRS) which I guess is
similar to VAT But not on Items but gross profit at the end of the
fiscal year. In manufacturing you can not charge off the deduction of
the piece manufactured till the piece is sold. Under this scenario the
calculations are done during the manufacturing process and is additive,
then assigned to IRIS ledger..

The Tax authority for Sales is based on Geo with separate Tax
authorities. Like State, County, city. These are compounded So
Adjustments are complex in computations.

 I bring this up so that the model that is used will accommodate all Tax
Authority scenarios.

This was not a simple effort when we did it so I don't think a
discussion would be simple.
Maybe a Wiki page would be appropriate to come up with a viable design.

Re: Do Intersection TemporalExpressions work?

[Craig Ambrose]

Adrian, I really appreciate your help here. But I'm just not getting it to
work how I would expect. Here is my scenario. Given a date input by a user,
I want to find the next upcoming TE match. So, I would expect to be able to
do something like this (in pseudo-code)

Date input = UtilDateTime.toDate(parameters.inputDate);
cal.setTime(input);
return new Date(te.next(cal));

If I am using the INDEPENDENCE_DAY TE and I input the date "07/01/2011
00:00:00" I get "07/04/2012" as a result. I would expect "07/04/2011". If I
change the code to use te.first() instead of te.next() then I get unexpected
results when I input "07/10/2011". I get "07/04/2011" which in my opinion is
not the first date on or after 7/10/2011.

So, I can first run te.first() check to see if it is less than the input
date and then call te.next(). Is that the intended usage?

Furthermore, here is the XML definition of the TE I'm really trying to use.



























































I'm trying to model the second Sunday in every odd month (i.e. Jan, Mar,
May, etc.). The 2ND_SUNDAY_IN_MONTH TE works great until I use it in an
INTERSECTION or UNION.

The te.first() method gives me very strange results. Perhaps I am defining
the TE incorrectly, but it seems to give me any match in the union and not
the first occurrence after the provided date. For example, using my
BI_MONTHLY_ONE TemporalExpression I call the following pseudo code

function nextOcc(te, inputDate)
{
return te.next(inputDate);
}

And I get this

nextOcc(te, "06/01/2011") -> 11/13/2011

Where I would expect the next occurrence after 6/1/2011 would be 7/10/2011;
the second Sunday in July.

I'm sure I'm confusing something here. So, any guidance would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks again

-craig

Re: Do Intersection TemporalExpressions work?

[Adrian Crum]

I believe the API documentation describes that as normal behavior. The 
first occurrence of July 4 on or after July 4 2011 is July 4 2011. If 
you want the next occurrence, then you need to call the next method.

Re: Tax calculation for all order adjustments

[biletnikov]

In my opinion, TaxAuthorityRateAdjustment can not relate to
TaxAuthorityRateProduct, because these entities are responsible for
different taxing scopes :  Product and  Adjustment.

*TaxAuthorityRateAdjustment*  has relation to :

   - 
TAXAUTHORITY
   - 
TAXAUTHORITYRATETYPE
   - 
PRODUCTSTORE


Product or adjustment can be items in each order and it is reasonable to
have the ability for each item being taxed, as I said that is very actual
for VAT style calculation.

These TaxAuthorityRateAdjustment and TaxAuthorityRateProduct  will exist in
parallel, but TaxAuthorityRateProduct  is oriented on product store and
product categories,  but TaxAuthorityRateAdjustment operates with product
store and adjustment types!

The tax computation should be carried out in this order:

   - Read the appropriate tax authority rates
   - Calculate product taxes
   - Calculate adjustment taxes
   - Sum these adjustments

Re: Do Intersection TemporalExpressions work?

[Adrian Crum]

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with your example code. 
If you want an event to repeat every Independence Day, then call the 
Independence Day temporal expression's first method, and then call the 
next method using the returned Calendar. You can call the next method 
for as many years as you like. There is no need to increment the date 
outside of the temporal expression.


So, calling the first method with a Calendar initialized to 06/01/2011 
will return 07/04/2011. Calling the next method with 07/04/2011 will 
return 07/04/2012, and so on...


In other words, the Calendar returned by the temporal expression is 
supposed to be used as a parameter for the expression's next method.

Agreed about the User ML.

that you can use Jquery (and js by and large) also with Form/Menu 
widgets and sometimes it opens you awesome possiblities. You can find 
examples in OFBiz trunk and R11.04


I just wonder if this thread should not be in user ML rather...

Hi Gareth:
Can't help but add my 2 cents here...

First, I take issue with Han's statement: "...it is an 
implementation of a 'simple' OFBiz component all in a single 
webapp...". I would argue that there is no such thing as a "simple" 
OFBiz component. To my way of thinking, "simple" adds no value to 
the discussion. A component is a component.


Second, components are not implemented in webapps. User interfaces - 
built from one or more OFBiz webapps - which provide browser access 
to OFBiz features and functions, are implemented within a component. 
Not the other way around.


Third, after many years of using OFBiz and developing many new 
applications (and working with existing ones), IMHO the menu, form 
and list widgets are of limited value. Here is when I (sometimes) 
use them: If you need to build a quick webpage (HTML) view into a 
single database table, perhaps an entity you have added to implement 
some new business function, you may want to consider using these 
widgets. To add and remove data to a single table or list the 
contents of a table, widgets work just fine.


The problem arises in that most modern, web based user interface 
designs don't lend themselves to this very one-dimensional view of 
the data model.


It is extremely difficult (and IMHO a waste of time) to build an 
OFBiz user interface with these widgets when you have the best tool 
available (Freemarker) to do this. Use the right tool for the job 
and you will be rewarded handsomely!


Best of luck

Hans,

I'm new to ofbiz; also to the tools and components that it 
comprises having

come from a Windows .NET C# background.

I'm interested in your comment about it being a pity that only ftl 
is used.

Can you expand a bit on that?

What are the shortcomings of ftl?
What alternative(s) would you recommend and why?

The whole area of UI, especially simplified and deployed as an 
end-user

package will feature heavily in a project due to kick off in January.

Thanks,

Gareth.

I think this is pretty interesting, it is an implementation of a 
'simple'
OFBiz component all in a single webappa pity that only ftl is 
used, but

still..

A demo version would be helpfull.

what is the license of this contribution, is it a contribution?

OFBiz Community:

We have developed an eCommerce specific solution, something like a
"Store In a Box". We call it BigFish.

Built on top of OFBiz; completely ready-to-go, with lots of
flexibility and configuration options. We are looking for 
adopters! We

are looking for the OFBiz community to download, support, critique,
suggest improvements, and validate our efforts.

To participate take a look at

* BigFish eCommerce

* A fully functional eCommerce implementation (a real working "Store
In A Box")
* Includes product categories, products, configurations, check-out
etc.
* BigFish eCommerce is a single framework that can be used to
implement any number of eCommerce stores, all with their own 

Re: Do Intersection TemporalExpressions work?

[Adrian Crum]

Technically, you are correct - the next date being returned is wrong, 
but partly because the class is being used incorrectly. If you provide a 
starting calendar to the expression's first method, and then pass the 
returned date to the next method, the dates returned will be correct.


The temporal expressions should provide an iterator instead of the 
having the first and next methods - that would eliminate the problem you 
encountered.

Hello,

I seem to be having problems getting TemporalExpressions to work. They seem to 
work fine for some expressions. But not for INTERSECTION types. I am using the 
TE definition from the sample data in ServiceDemoData.xml for INDEPENDENCE_DAY, 
specifically this:

 
 
 

And I'm using the following code to iterate over a number of days to see when 
the next Independence Day will occur:

com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar cal = new com.ibm.icu.util.GregorianCalendar();
java.util.Date start = UtilDateTime.toDate("06/01/2011 00:00:00");
cal.setTime(start);

GenericValue temporalExpression = delegator.findOne("TemporalExpression", 
UtilMisc.toMap("tempExprId", "INDEPENDENCE_DAY"), true);
TemporalExpression selectionDeadline = 
TemporalExpressionWorker.makeTemporalExpression(delegator, temporalExpression);

for (int index = 0; index<  60; index++)
{
Date nextDate = new Date(selectionDeadline.next(cal).getTimeInMillis());
Debug.logInfo(String.format("%s ->  %s", new Date(cal.getTimeInMillis()), 
nextDate), "Groovy");

cal.add(com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar.DATE, 1);
}

It doesn't do the right thing for the first 4 days of July. It says for 
7/1/2011 that the next occurrence is 7/4/2012. Here is the output:
