Re: Ofbiz Development

[james_sg]

Hi John,

OFBiz is open to all, and we work as a community here.
Do stay if you can contribute to OFBiz.

I do agree with some of your points, but it will take some time to fix.
Keep things specific so that it is easier for us to look into it.
You can log OFBiz related issues here at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ/

James

Re: Ofbiz Development

[james_sg]

Hi Jacques,

The forked project supports recent Java version 8, while the original
project is no longer in development.
I uses it with Eclipse so that changed .java files are built automatically
into .class files, while
DCEVM detects changed class files and load it directly into the JVM. 

Eclipse will warn me whenever .class files and JVM is not up to date. So I
know when I need to restart OFBiz from Eclipse.

DCEVM is a time-saver for me since I code mostly in Java :)

Regards,
James

Re: Ofbiz Development

Hi anon,

To add on, if you are using Eclipse IDE for development, check out
https://dcevm.github.io/. DCEVM allows you to code java and test the change
without restarting the whole application. Eclipse IDE prompts you whenever
DCEVM cannot push the change properly, and you will know the application
requires a restart.

Hi Nick,

I see the good work on BigFish. 
May I know if BigFish is supported on OFBiz 13.07?

RE: OfBiz with JForum

[james_sg]

Hi eric,

OFBiz consists of several web applications, and uses some custom way to
auto-login the users when they navigate from one web application into
another. You can look into the externalLoginKey parameter used by OFBiz.

In order to allow other web application like JForum to fit in nicely with
minimum code changes, you will need to consider a proper single-sign-on
solution like CAS SSO http://www.jasig.org/cas. Start by downloading the CAS
Server code into OFBiz's special folder, and add the ofbiz-component.xml
file. There will also be changes to the web.xml files in other web
applications.

No step by step approach. Need to read documentation and fix whatever errors
that arise : )

If you don't cater for the picking process, won't the wrong package gets
delivered?
The packing process is meant for repackaging for delivery. That could mean
putting smaller packages into 1 box to easier delivery, or not at all.

This is the reason why i mentioned about adding functions for OFBiz to
support serialised products. You need some unique numbers to track each
package, don't you?

Paul has mentioned that you can have a standard part number called PACKAGE,
that is a product called PACKAGE. You could also sub-categorize the PACKAGE
accordingly to your requirement. No one is asking you to map every package
contents into your own inventory. It is also why I mentioned about adding
functions to edit Product description in the sales order line items.

Hi Jacques,

Just to mention that in the example given by twosolution, the database
records are correct. However he has some misunderstanding on how 'thru date'

Re: ofbiz for logistics

[james_sg]

Hi Jim,

I share the same view as Pierre that you should not be using the purchase
order for it.

Your workflow should be something like this:
1) When packages arrive, you should create a Sales Order for this. In this
case, you need to add function to allow editing the description of each
sales order line item.
2) Approval of Sales Order
3) Receive the inventory via product. OFBiz allows receiving product without
PO. You need to add function for OFBiz to support products with serialized
barcode. During goods receiving, a unique barcode is generated for each
serialised product. You will also need to make changes to ensure the
received goods is reserved to the correct sales order.
4) Packing as usual.

Re: Product Pricing - multiple time-based record

[james_sg]

Hi twosolution,

Lets turn to the 1st example given by you where all the dates have zero
time. Study the following code in  EntityDateFilterCondition.java.

public static EntityExpr makeCondition(Timestamp moment, String
fromDateName, String thruDateName) {
return EntityCondition.makeCondition(
EntityCondition.makeCondition(
EntityCondition.makeCondition( thruDateName,
EntityOperator.EQUALS, null ),
EntityOperator.OR,
EntityCondition.makeCondition( thruDateName,
EntityOperator.GREATER_THAN, moment )
),
EntityOperator.AND,
EntityCondition.makeCondition(
EntityCondition.makeCondition( fromDateName,
EntityOperator.EQUALS, null ),
EntityOperator.OR,
EntityCondition.makeCondition( fromDateName,
EntityOperator.LESS_THAN_EQUAL_TO, moment )
)
   );
}

Ofbiz will only return 1 record in your given scenario when you get a price
for the date on 15th Jan.

"In the REST example code, there is a
java class that responds to client request, it is not Minilang. "

If you look at how the ping service is defined, it will invoke a java
method. 
But you can also point the service to invoke a minilang.

Re: OfBiz with JForum

[james_sg]

I am one of the past contributors to JForum. 
With some changes, you should be able to deploy it as an OFBiz components.

If you understand how OFBiz authentication works between components, you
should consider replacing the OFBiz authentication with CAS SSO. This will
save you a lot of problems later when you convert other projects into OFBiz
components.

Re: Product Pricing - multiple time-based record

[james_sg]

Hi,

In the database, the dates are stored with non-zero time.
When selecting a price, you can choose to filter with a date with zero time.
So the effect is you will retrieve only 1 record.

Another way to explore the database to use DBVisualizer Free and then go to

Re: inventory

[james_sg]

Once you have created a sales order, the atp and qoh for the inventory will
be updated accordingly

Re: Inventory -- facility question

[james_sg]

Hi Heidi,

If the same product is stored in different facilities and you want to
allocate part of the product inventory from facility 1 and another part from
facility 2 in your order, then you will need code customization.

James

Re: What you do consider a priority

[james_sg]

hi BJ,

1. Lesser mouse clicks. Currently I need to click around the pages to add /
modifiy data, because the pages tends to follow the tables design rather
than at business level.

2. Zero bugs. 

3. Many missing features even in Order Management, e.g. quote terms,
serialized item handling is not complete, multi-currency etc

4. Screen should be able to inject scripts to the html header, making the
code more modular.

5. The business flow graphing that you have mentioned.

6. Standardizing the screen layout. Some pages, the form is next to the
list, in other pages, clicking on the list goes to the form.

7. Standalone framework

8. Changes to service xml requires restart. This defeats the purpose of
defining it in xml.

9. Standardizing on how "ID" is used. For example, the drop down for quote
type should be labelled as "Quote Type" and not "Quote Type Id", because the
user is seeing the descriptions and not the ID. Another example is user
should be seeing "Quote ID" instead of "Quote Id".

Re: Business flow Graphing

[james_sg]

Hi BJ,

I am fine with either way as long it works.

Some of my notes on how graphing is done with javascript:

1. the nodes are just div tags and positioned by javascripts. The content of
the node goes into the div tag. Seen some algorithms to calculate the
positions of each node to make sure they spread evenly.

2. the lines and arrows are drawn by javascript. 

3. if you want to make the nodes draggable, then can use library from jquery
or yui etc. In this case the redrawing of lines should be after the node is
dragged. Final positions of the nodes can be put into some input fields with
javascript and submit to the server to save.

Re: why we should have a 10.04 standalone framework release

[james_sg]

Hi BJ,

I treat OFBiz entity engine as an ORM that uses Map for the Object part.

The gui modeler is a desktop application (not sure if it is swt based), that
helps with the editing of the database definition files, and database schema
migration. The gui modeler is not used in the web application, nor does it
use JNLP.

Cayenne also doesn't generate the html forms from the database.

Anyway, I can't think of a strong business case for making entity engine
swappable.
I thought it is worth mentioning Cayenne since it is similar to OFBiz entity
engine.

Re: why we should have a 10.04 standalone framework release

Just to add on to point 6. Since the entity in Cayenne can be
programmatically construct, it should be possible to read OFBiz's entity
files.

Re: why we should have a 10.04 standalone framework release

[james_sg]

Hi all,

Apache Cayenne has the closest match to OFBiz Entity Engine. 

A few points about Cayenne:
1. Cayenne has generic object while OFBiz has Generic Value.
2. Cayene has DerivedDbEntity (depreciating) to OFBiz's View Entity.
3. Cayenne has a gui modeler to map the database.
4. Cayenne supports applications running in cluster.
5. OFBiz requires the developer to explicitly save each generic value. In
Cayenne, the developer to save the Generic Object and any associated Generic
Objects are implicitly saved.
6. Like OFBiz, the database definition files for Cayenne can be separated
and grouped under domains and combined at runtime.
7. Cayenne gui modeler has function to merge database changes, but OFBiz
does that automatically.

If there is a need or business case to support the swapping of the entity
engine, it should support similar ORM and follows the api used in OFBiz.

Also note there is a JPA standard for ORM that uses POJO.

Regards,
James

Hi Chris,

I believe framework separation is a win-win situation and things will get
sorted out when the common agreement is there.

I am using 9.04. For non-erp project, I have other favorite framework.

Re: why we should have a 10.04 standalone framework release

[james_sg]

Hi Bruno,

My opinions as below:

For now, I will call the standalone framework as framework project and the
rest of the components as applications project.

1. As the current framework embeds servlet container like Tomcat and Jetty,
codes related to servlet containers stay with the standalone framework.

2. Webtools and Example should be in the framework project.

2. Party application shouldn't be in framework. But it can be decoupled from
the rest of the applications.

3. It is also alrite for Party application to reference other applications
like Order, but
a. links to other application, should be disabled in realtime if the
other application component is not loaded. 
b. the framework should inject scripts (like css and js) into the header
(similar to what wicket and click framework is doing) if screens from other
application is used. Likewise, if screens from other application are called
without the applications being loaded, the framework should provide some
useful screen messages when the screen is loaded.

4. The application project should contain the compiled framework without its
source code. In the long run, it should be easy to simply drop the framework
into the applications project, or the applications project into the
framework.

5. Themes can go with the framework with a default theme, and the rest as
adds-on.

6. The framework project can have more frequent releases than the
application project, while keeping the goals for the framework project in
alignment with the applications project as what currently is.

Re: why we should have a 10.04 standalone framework release

[james_sg]

I think a common agreement is needed among developers on whether OFBiz should
have a standalone framework.

If a common agreement is reached, then we need to have a common
understanding on how things should be done, so that people plays by the
rule.

Which function to move into the standalone framework can be discussed later.
The one with the least dependence can go in first. At least, things are
moving...

My 2 cents.

Re: Wicket Component

[james_sg]

Why Wicket and not ZK or GWT?

Wicket allows the use of templating which is not possible with ZK or GWT. 
So the Wicket component can be used in a given application, while
maintaining the same look and feel of other pages in the same application.

Hi Levenimeux, 

You can create your forms as normal using form widgets.
Then code with javascript in a ftl file to register event handlers using

Include this javascript file after the form in the screen definition.
Something like

Re: groovy screen widget

[james_sg]

Hi Jacques,

I am sorry that I couldn't get the time for making a patch.

Those interested may want to start looking at htmlTemplate.ftl and trace
from there.

Re: groovy screen widget

[james_sg]

Hi Scott,

I agree. In my special case, I was backporting the ajax lookup code from
10.04 to 9.04, and encountered the problem where the "set field" function
gives a String instead of the EntityCondition object. So if I were to use
the makeCondition function, many extra groovy files will be created.

James

Re: groovy screen widget

[james_sg]

Hi Varun,

What you had wanted to do will work if you are using 10.04.
So coding it in groovy file is the right approach when using 9.04

James


Hi Scott,
I have already put the groovy part in a .groovy file, though just wanted to
know if i had missed something.
Thanks again.

Hi Soumya,

I think this date picker behavior is to accomodate the new layered form

Generic Product

[james_sg]

Hi all,

I am using OFBiz 9.04 verson. I have a requirement where the product in the
request uses a generic product name, but the items in quote and sales order
use the actual product name / brand.

An example of a product with generic name is Paracetamol. There are many
different brand names for Paracetamol.

Can anyone advise how this can be done?

James

 I think its time to start thinking on the things that should be
 taken
 care in / before release branch 10.04.
 
 Bug fixing should be the major area which should be taken care
 extensively in next two months.
 What about new features etc. etc.?
 
 Please comment.

Re: Brainstorming about the Framework: Logic Tier

[james_sg]

Hi,

I would prefer logic tier codes that allows me to
1. step through with a debugger;
2. add breakpoint; and 
3. track variables :)

So a debugger for minilang will be good.

Regards,
James

Re: Brainstorming about the Framework: UI Tier

[james_sg]

Hi,

I have the following 3 suggestions.

1. As screen widgets add a layer of abstraction above html, the codes are
cleaner than those in ftl.
So I wish more UI codes be written in or converted to widgets.

2. A new view handler that will take care of ajax on the fly when the screen
widgets are rendered. The benefit is code reuse, any improvement to the view
handler affects the whole application.

3. Even better is for this new view handler to act as a intermediary between
the screen widgets and the existing view framework like wicket, echo3 etc

Regards,
James

Re: Error getting quote report

[james_sg]

Hi Brajesh,

The error occurs when there is a manual adjustment at quote item level.
I wanted to give a discount to the 1st quote item, so I entered 1 to the
Quote Item Seq Id field.
When I run the quote report, the error message is shown.

Regards,
James

Re: HUMANRES_ADMIN Permission Not Found

[james_sg]

Hi Koon Sang,

I believe it could be due to the following reasons:
1) To avoid HUMANRES_ADMIN permission being added to security_group other
than the existing ones with HUMANRES_ADMIN permission, or
2) The HUMANRES_ADMIN permission is mistakenly left out of the
security_permission.

In either case, you can add the HUMANRES_ADMIN permission in the
security_permission if you required it.

Regards,
James

to
