 Hello,

 I am looking at possibly using OFBiz to track insertion orders for online
 ads.  Initial exploration suggests that there isn't really much in the way
 of tracking or reporting against partial completion of an order.

 That is to say,  I can't see a way to reasonably store that, for a given
 time frame, I have delivered X number of impressions for Campaign Y of
 insertion order Z, at the cost of $A, and have this reflected in the order
 record.

 Does anybody have any insight as to how I could implement this with the
 existing model and services?  I expect that some amount of extension will
 be necessary, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel more than I need to.

How to include ftl from another module using a variable?

[Michael Brohl]

Hi,

I want to include a freemarker template using the #include / 
directive from another module.
The template path is given to the including ftl (in module1) through a
screen variable in the form component://module2/path/to/ftl/name.ftl.
The variable is named myTemplate.

Code
..
#include myTemplate
..

Freemarker cannot find the template because is searches for
component://module1/includes/component://module2/path/to/ftl/name.ftl.
Is there a way to avoid that component://module1/includes/ is used as
the base?

I tried
..
#include / + myTemplate
..

to give Freemarker a hint for an absolute path but it says

Error rendering included template at location
[component://module1/includes/header.ftl]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad component location
[component://component://module2/path/to/ftl/name.ftl]: base location
missing slashes [/component://module2/path/to/ftl/name.ftl], first=0,
second=-1; should be like: component://{component-name}/relative/path

Re: Setting Ofbiz with Enterprise Service Bus

[Michael Brohl]

As an addition to my previous email and in reference to my statement or 
JMS we have modified the JMS/Service functionality in OFBiz.: it is not 
necessary to modify OFBiz here, you can use OOTB OFBiz to get things 
running.


We have just written a simplified service to get rid of OFBiz specific 
code/service parameters such as userLogin, timezone etc. because they 
are not needed for calls to non-OFBiz systems.

Hi Jean-Luc,

we have some experience with OFBiz connected to Apache Camel with 
Apache ServiceMix for integration.
We use REST endpoints and JMS/ActiveMQ to connect OFBiz to the ESB. 
For JMS we have modified the JMS/Service functionality in OFBiz.

Re: Setting Ofbiz with Enterprise Service Bus

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Jean-Luc,

I will try to give you a brief overview about our OFBiz/ESB integrations.

We have different interfaces to/from OFBiz, depending on the steps which 
are needed to process the data between OFBiz and other systems.


We have interfaces through REST, FTP to the outside world with different 
data formats (XML, CSV, EDI). These formats are transformed to a main 
house format and transported to OFBiz.


The REST endpoints are provided by the ESB (camel-jetty), not OFBiz 
directly. This is to decouple the systems in case the server setting 
will be more decentralized in the future.


For the REST endpoints we mainly have two paths:
- directing the request directly to OFBiz with url rewriting in Apache 
(for data which comes in the house format and need no processing 
(request - camel-jetty - Apache - OFBiz)
- directing the request and the data to an ActiveMQ endpoint for further 
processing (request - camel-jms - [different processing steps, 
enrichment, transformations etc.] - camel-jms - OFBiz)


For the FTP endpoints we have one main path (file - camel-file - 
camel-jms - [different processing steps, enrichment, transformations 
etc.] - camel-jms - OFBiz)


The data path from OFBiz to other systems is through JMS (OFBiz 
jms-service - camel-jms - [further processing] - [several endpoints]


The main paths contain several content based routers and different 
processors to enhance the data. I think this would blow this overview a 
little bit.


So OFBiz ist addressed in two ways: through normal https requests and 
through JMS. https should be clear.


For JMS, OFBiz already has a mechanism for sending and receiving JMS 
messages, used for the distributed cache clear.


Calling a service through JMS ist configured in the serviceengine.xml. 
The JMS message contains a service context map which is sent in the 
message body:


!-- Config of output channel to send service calls via JMS --
jms-service name=outputChannel send-mode=all
   server jndi-server-name=default jndi-name=ConnectionFactory 
topic-queue=ofbizServiceOutbound type=queue username=xxx 
password=xxx listen=false/

/jms-service

The service to call another service through JMS (or just send some data 
to a queue) is configured as follows:


!-- services.xml --
!-- Dummy service to demonstrate the way to call a service of the ESB 
component by sending a JMS message formed by this service definition --
service name=dummyCallEaiService engine=jms 
location=outputChannel invoke=dummyService descriptionSend a JMS 
message to an EAI queue to call an ESB service/description
   attribute name=parameter type=String mode=IN optional=false 
allow-html=any / /service


The main elements are:

engine=jms:
defines the JMS service engine to call a service, a JMS message is 
generated instead of calling an OFBiz service

location=outputChannel:
specifies the queue to send the message to (configured above)
invoke=dummyService:
that's the name of the remote service to call (if any) or just some 
identifier for the message content to decide where to route the message 
or how to transform it


The way to call an OFBiz service through JMS is as follows

!-- JMS Service Queue/Topic Configuration --
!-- Config of input channel to receive service calls via JMS --
jms-service name=inputChannel send-mode=none
   server jndi-server-name=default jndi-name=ConnectionFactory 
topic-queue=ofbizServiceInbound type=queue username=xxx 
password=xxx listen=true/

/jms-service

This is the configuration for the JMS provider at the ESB side.

The other JMS configurations take place in the jndi.properties

java.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory 
java.naming.provider.url=tcp://127.0.0.1:61616

# register some queues in JNDI using the form
# queue.[jndiName] = [physicalName]
queue.ofbizServiceInbound = ofbizServiceInbound
queue.ofbizServiceOutbound = ofbizServiceOutbound

Now OFBiz listens to the configured queues.

To call an OFBiz service through JMS, we simply put a service context 
map in the body of the message and send it to the queue. We have a camel 
processor which takes the original data and wraps it in the service 
context map, specifying the OFBiz target service to call. No decision 
logic necessary at the OFBiz side.


Hope that helps to get things running on your side.

Regards,

Michael

Hi all,

I feel proud to be able to announce that we have successfully integrated a
rest service delivering validated address details on approx 8.000.000 in
the Netherlands.

With this function contact mechanism for all kinds of physical addresses
can be validated and enriched with additional information like e.g.
latitude and longitude data, governmental ids and more.

Correct registration of physical addresses is key with respect to delivery
of documents and shipments. Yet errors are easily made resulting in
incorrect deliveries and potential delays with respect to e.g. payment of
invoices. Over 13.000 addresses change weekly as a result of municipal
reclassification, completion of construction, split up/mergers of existing
homes and the renaming of streets, cities and counties.

Our new integrated function allows Dutch users to only submit a postal code
and a house number and validated address details like street name, house
number additions, municipality, province, addres type, purpose and more are
returned for acceptance.

For more information feel free to contact me directly.

it is easier if you keep the trunk and the release branches in

you will end up with the following folder layout:

also there); it is not mandatory that you do but it is very much
appreciated!
Here is a simple workflow to backport a commit to a branch.
1) commit the fix to trunk and note down the commit id; e.g. rev 12345
2) go to the release branch you want to backport to; e.g. cd
ofbiz/release14.12
3) run the following script (the script will apply the commit to your
local release branch):
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat merge 12345
4) run the tests with:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat test
5) it is also a good idea to start the instance and test manually
6.a) if tests are unsuccessful, abort the process and clean your local
release branch:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat abort
6.b) if tests are successful, and you want to commit the backport:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat commit


  I was going to test my new committer privilege by
applying my OFBIZ-6387.patch.  Should I apply it to the release 
branches

also?

That is probably not a bug but it is a small change and could be a good
chance to practice with the above process, so please do if you like.

Regards,

Jacopo

Hi Ashish,

thank you for taking the time to update the committers list!

Can you please edit the mail addresses in a way that they are not

Hi Mark,

this is a community list where alle the communication and collaboration

Normally the traffic is not that high and we should not limit

it is easier if you keep the trunk and the release branches in
different
svn folders (i.e. different checkouts); for example:

mkdir ofbiz
cd ofbiz
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk trunk
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release14.12
release14.12
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release13.07
release13.07
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release12.04
release12.04
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site/ website

you will end up with the following folder layout:
ofbiz/
ofbiz/trunk
ofbiz/release14.12
ofbiz/release13.07
ofbiz/release12.04
ofbiz/website

Then you can setup, with your favorite IDE, one project for each.

I've extended OrderHeader.  Problem is, the order entry screens will

I started digging into the finalizeOrder request chain.  I'd like to

Obviously someone has had to do this before, so just wondering if there

Hi Michael

I'm guessing you mean the Applications re-organisation?  If so then here is
the background.

The idea for including this was raised in in a discussion about on Addons on
the Dev list. It's a big thread but here is the link.

http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Addons-for-OFBiz-tt4668063.html#a4668215
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Addons-for-OFBiz-tt4668063.html#a4668215

In response Jacopo mentioned that

/*Some time ago I proposed to move all entity definitions from the
applications components into a separate one; this component could also
contain crud/generic services: in this way it will be easier to deploy the
framework+data-model without the user interfaces that are not as generic and
universal as the data model is. In my opinion this would be a good step in
the right direction and it would be very easy to implement. */

I then suggested that if it was straightforward and would bring OFBiz some
benefits then we could add it to the task list for our next  Community Day.

I know Jacopo's response was very positive - which is why I added it to the
draft list but if there is still needs to be some more discussion or
consenus reached then we have a week or so to decide whether to inlcude it
or not. It's just a draft list - so I expected to get some feedback about
the content!

I'll raise a thread on the Dev list about it inlcuding it for the Community
day - and then we can see whether there is consenus or not.

The other topics - Website Update, Online Help and Wiki Documentation have
been discussed under other threads so I think these have eneough consenus to
begin working on them.

The orders will be fulfilled every two weeks
I expect to use PayPal as the payment processor.
The ability of a user to have a standing order is strongly desired.

I'd like to run on an EC2 micro instance. 1 GB ram, 1 CPU.
How much storage would such a low volume site require?
How well would ofbiz run on such a small instance with the projected low

Hi Sharan,

I had not the time to think more about your proposal but I can quickly 
answer your followup questions, see inline...


Am 27.05.15 um 15:34 schrieb Sharan-F:

Hi All

I'm still looking for some community feedback on this proposal and approach
and now I have a couple of extra questions.

To any OFBiz Service providers out there – how do you manage the online help
when you install or implement OFBiz? (Is it left as it is, do you remove it
or do you create some new online help?)
In most of our projects, the existing online help is not used at all. 
The nature of our projects are mostly eCommerce and portal systems with 
another ERP backend like SAP. So the OFBiz backend is either not used at 
all or only a small part is used. We do trainings with the end users 
then and sometimes write some kind of manual which describes the backend 
use in context to the customer specific processes.


I think there was only one project in the past 13 years which used the 
online help with partly modified texts.


To the general community at large - what is the overall feeling about
extracting the online help, updating it and then packaging it as a separate
project deliverable that can be easily integrated back into OFBiz?
Mmmhh, we have to make sure that the contents of the online help are in 
sync with the development and that it is easily editable for project 
specific changes. Then I'm fine with it.


I'm focussing on the approach first. I think that once we have had the
discussion about that and reach a concensus can we start discussions around
the technology and options to achieve it.

I'm pretty much sitting this one out (seems to have jumped right into
the tech selection and I don't understand OFBiz well enough yet to be

considerations for a typing architecture are:

1. The project's business needs (e.g. No XML files!)
2. Making sure the single-sourced files can be puked out into as many
useful end user formats as possible (e.g. context-sensitive help, wiki,

3. Making sure a maximum number of writer-contributors can hit the
proverbial ground running without needing to learn new processes

One thing I can offer for now is editing skills, but that involves
potential toe-stepping.  Perhaps I could transform that solid Prezi

Am 26.05.15 um 10:09 schrieb Sharan-F:

Hi All

I'd like to start a discussion about changing and updating our main project
website. We have had our current side for quite a while now and I think that
it would be good to update it.

Here are some of my initial thoughts

1. Our logo takes up less space now and we have a lot of space at the top so
perhaps we could look at moving the navigation bar into this area


+1

2. A lot of the links on the right hand side could be moved into a drop down
navigation bar to give us more space
Mmhh, not sure if this should be done because if you put the links into 
a dropdown element they are out of sight, you have to open the dropdown 
to see what's in it. Do we need more space?

3. The site itself contains a lot of words which I think makes it hard for
visitors to see what is important
I think the problem is not the number of words, which are not bad for 
SEO, but the structure of the texts. We could restructure them to have 
some kind of landing page for different subjects and related sub pages 
with more detailed texts on the subject.

4. If we want to focus on potential visitor types (e.g. developers and
business users) then we need to adapt the website and highlight what would
interest them and encourage them into trying OFBiz
Yes, a first step could be to identify user groups, their use of OFBiz 
and maybe some different uses cases.

5. At the moment he biggest thing we highlight is downloading OFBiz (yet why
would someone download if they are not sure that it meets their needs).
6. On my version of linux (14.04 LTS) the webpage doesn't fill the screen
(I'm not sure if that is just me!)
We should definetely make the new website responsive, that means it 
should look good and have a good usability on all devices (monitors, 
smartphones etc.)

7. We have links to two versions of OFBiz demos (do we really need 2?)
without any instructions for users as to what they need to do. If for some
reason they are logged out they have no instructions how to log in again.
We could add some funtionality in demo mode: specify the demo user 
login directly on the login screen and provide a link to a demo page 
on the website where the demo is explained.

8. The 'News' section is very static and gets out of date quickly. We have
resurrected our blog so perhaps it would be better to replace this with a
blog feed instead.

+1 That's enough news together with the twitter feed.


What do people think? I'm happy to hear any other ideas that people may
have.

If feedback is positive then I'd like to start work on a new draft website
that could be presented to back the community. Only if accepted will we do
the changeover.

Overall, a +1 from me.


Also I'm not a graphical person or a website designer so would be looking
for some volunteers to help me put this together.
Let's do the conceptual work first, I think we can provide some help on 
this when we have the requirements clear.


Thanks
Sharan

- the CEO/CFO who is looking for a new platform wants to see features, 
licenses, references who is using OFBiz, service providers etc., 
everything you need to decide if OFBiz is for you on the business level 
and which risks and chances it brings


- the CIO and his staff who has the task to evaluate new platforms for 
his company, he needs some of the above but also some more technical 
informations like architecture, used frameworks, documentation etc. to 
decide if the platform is also fitting to the company system landscape, 
the know-how of his staff etc.


- the developer who is searching for technical documentation, data 
models, API, best practices etc.


- the user who is searching for user centric documentation, best 
practices and help


I think the main page should include these entry points with easy to 
understand titles.

Our site appeals to geeks, not to CFOs or CEOs - those who need to 
make platform decisions. Maybe we should rethink our presentation to 
the outside world.

Re: uiLabelMap

[Michael Brohl]

I recommend using ant create-component, this will create a new 
component in hot-deploy with all necessary files and folders and 
prevents you from the complexity of an existing component.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the OFBz Workshop at Apachecon ; It
was good to meet each other and also talk about what you feel is important .
We had representation from France, UK, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany,
Netherlands, USA, South Africa and Thailand so shows that we are truely
international.

I've done an initial draft of the notes from the meeting.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Workshop+%3A+2nd+October+2015
There was a lot of interaction and discussion and these notes only summarise
the main points so am happy to get any updates, corrections, or omissions.
The last topic regarding Automated Testing got a bit too technical for me so
I wasnt able to capture the details very well, so would someone else be
willing to help complete this?

Please also remember that the workshop was only informal and as usual all
proposals that came out of the meeting need to be raised and discussed on
our mailing lists ;

Re: Is it possible to upgrade OfBiz from 11.04.06 to 13.07.02.

[Michael Brohl]

It depends where you've made changes. If you have all changes or 
additional features in your hot-deploy folder, just copy them in a fresh 
13.07.02 installation and see if there are conflicts with used API and 
changed business logic.


You can expect some because 11.04.06 is years old and there were a lot 
of changes.


Personally, I would go with the 14.12.01 release branch, it's 
stabilizing and you don't have to do as much upgrade work later.


I can't say much about BigFish but I assume that it is located in the 
hot-deploy folder as well and the update instruction assumes you only 
have BigFish installed. Just keep your own extensions.


Hope that helps,

Michael

Update existing instance Instructions:Delete "hot-deploy" directory from the

I like to see that Hans and Nathan are working in quite same way using

We discuss about OFBiz GUI and I'll start to open again this topics 
soon and I think it will be a new start for this part. I think that 
the topics will be a long one with a lot of email :D


This meeting was very good to understand each other. All discussions

I look forward the next meeting to see more people and define more new

seeing OFBiz
Committer Gavin Mabie there all the way from South Africa! It also 
was good

to see Rupert Howell and also Simon from Stannah.

This year all presentations in the OFBiz track were done by people whose

someone
took a picture of Julien during his UX Design presentation when the

Our presentation attendance numbers were good :  Jacopo (17), Hans (14),
Youssef (17), Gil (16), Nathan (20) and Julien (15).  My talk got 12 but
mainly thanks to the OFBiz guys!

All the talks were very good and I especially liked Youssef’s demo of 
the

Asterisk PBX integration for OFBiz where it even recorded the phone

On Friday morning we ran an informal OFBiz group discussion to talk

on the
mailing lists for further discussions within the community.  I think

some really good ideas and suggestions came up and I’ll write up the

As well as discussions, networking and teambuilding happening between

for

example Jacopo met up with the main Freemarker Committer who lives in
Budapest. One of the outcomes was that he mentioned that the Freemarker
community would be happy to get input from the OFBiz community for 
potential

features or improvements for Freemarker.

Once again a big thank you to everyone who took part, presented or

Anil mentioned that he did login in 2014 but the login details he sent me

tried to reclaim it as the manager using the old logins but I cant. So I
think this means that someone already is the manager - but I dont know who.

Re: OFBiz Extensions Marketplace (OEM) - progress

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Pierre,

I very much like the idea of a community driven marketing initiative and 
I appreciate your efforts on this. It could be a great opportunity for 
the community members to present their skills and solutions and show the 
users what's possible to do with OFBiz outside the standard funtionality.


As you might be aware, there was another initiative by Hans with a 
similar approach, see http://ofbiz.info . As far as I see, this approach 
never gained significant success and it seems dead for a few years now 
(at least the latest news is from 2012).


My theory is, and I might be totally wrong with it, that this is caused 
by the fact that the platform is in the hands of a single company and 
primarily used to promote this company itself. This seems to be the plan 
of your approach also, your companies and trademarks are placed 
prominently at the starting page, using adserver links etc..


I think this approach goes in the wrong direction and won't get enough 
acceptance and support by the community to be successful.


From my perspective, the right approach would be to develop and host 
such a site in the hands of the community, just like the OFBiz official 
website and demo sites. It should be a neutral place where every 
contributor and service provider has the same space to present his 
services and solutions. It must be assured that the platform is 
supported over a long time and that the community can decide which way 
to go with it.


I think the risk to have it in the hands of a single person or company 
is too high to spent significant time and effort in it.


This is just my thought of the current state of the initiative and maybe 
I misunderstood the approach. My apologies if that's the case.


Maybe I'm right and you think over the approach. Any thoughts of you and 
the other community members are very welcome, I'm curious what you think.

In fact there are two of them, one with the word Apache and one without. I've 
uploaded the sample logo here and it's the first one (i.e. the top line) with 
the white background that we are looking at.

For those who recognise it – we've gone a bit retro and picked up this circle 
icon from the original OFBiz logo when the project first came to Apache. 
Instead of using the original blue colour, we've incorporated the same (orange, 
red and purple) colour scheme as the new Apache feather.http://apache.org/

We've also changed the OFBiz lettering to orange as it seemed to go well with 
the new Apache colours.

For information we've also included some examples of what it would look like on 
different coloured backgrounds with white and black lettering.

Anyway please take a look and let me have your comments and feedback.

To begin with I'm trying to get a demonstration eCommerce site running
for one of them.  The site is running, I've given it some personality,
but as yet it has no products.  I'm using OfBiz 13.07.02 and the Derby
database at present but I plan to migrate to MySQL or PostgreSQL when
I've got to grips with the basics.

There are tens of thousands of products to import, a minimum of 40,000
up to a maximum of about 200,000 from over a thousand manufacturers if
OfBiz will cope with it - that's one of the things I want to find out.
On a 2.5GHz dual Opteron with 16GByte ECC RAM running over the local
Ethernet I'm afraid it looks rather slow at the moment.  Usually it
will take several seconds to render a page and sometimes it will take
of the order of ten seconds.

Immediate problem:

I've spent almost two weeks reading the revised volume 1 of the Data
Model Resource Book and about how to import products from data files,
and I'm not a lot clearer about it now than I was when I started out.
Most of the time I seem to be going around in circles reading the same
incomplete, out of date, inconsistent and confusing notes which very
often contain links to pages or even Websites which no longer exist.

Following this document:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide 



I have set up a new Catalog - or at least I think I have.  But that's
as far as I've been able to go following the text.  In particular, the
section entitled "Category Setup" is a masterpiece of confusion. The
concepts of the relationships of a Category to a Product, to a Catalog
and to each other are not clear to me.  The section "Category Setup"
suggests that one should give descriptions to the Categories, but as I
have no clear idea yet what they're for, I'm able to describe them
only as "A Sort Of Category".  To a novice like me, the administration
interface offers no help, and to the extent that it's possible is even
more confusing than the Business Setup Guide.

My main concern is if I get it wrong at this stage, but ultimately do
manage to import a couple of hundred thousand products, that I'll just
have to do it all over again after fixing my Categories.

Questions:

Please would someone explain to me in simple English what a Category
is for, why I need to create four or more of them, what I need to do
with them after I create them, and exactly how that should be done?

What is a Browse Root Category (and why is it called that)?

Why should I want one?

Why does one Category have to be a child of another?  What is the
significance of this parentage?

Why is the child of the Browse Root Category described as a "top-level
browse Category" when (since it's a child of the Browse Root Category)
it seems it's not at the top level?  What is the name of this child?
Others seem to have names, but not that one.

Are the Promotions, "All Products" Category, Default Search, Purchase
Allow and View Allow categories children of the Browse Root Category
as well or are they children of the apparently unnamed and mis-described
top-level browse Category?  And are there really only two of them there:
Promotions and "All Products"?  If so, why are they seemingly pressed
into service for other purposes, and does that not run counter to the
data model ethos?

Of course I already have categories in the existing product data, and
they don't map well to those suggested in "Category Setup", as they're
more in the nature of sections and sub-sections in a paper catalogue.
I don't know if the concept of an OfBiz Category resembles my concept
of a category - note that I've used a small 'c' in my own categories
for that reason.  To begin with, can I simply not have any Categories
at all, and then add my own categories after importing the products?

Some great news. Two people from our Community (Jacques Le Roux and myself)
have become Apache Software Foundation members. Membership is by invitation
only so it's a real honour to be invited.

For those who are not familiar with what an ASF member is – I've copied the
current definition from the ASF site below.

“An ASF member is a person who was nominated by current members and elected
due to merit for the evolution and progress of the foundation. Members care
for the ASF itself. This is usually demonstrated through the roots of
project-related and cross-project activities. Legally, a member is a
"shareholder" of the foundation, one of the owners. They have the right to
elect the board, to stand as a candidate for the board election and to
propose a committer for membership. They also have the right to propose a
new project for incubation. The members coordinate their activities through
their mailing list and through their annual meeting. “

So my congratulations goes out to Jacques (Felicitations!) :-)

Would it be possible to embed them in a simple web page and give them

That said, from the 4 new logos my votes are:

Option 3: +1

Option 4: 0

Out of this vote but to be clear:

Hi Everyone

As we've had a few different opinions I think it will be good to organise a 
simple community survey with links to the options. That way people can vote and 
hopefully we can get the most preferred.

Whatever is selected, I think we'll need two versions of the logo, one with the 
word 'Apache' and one without, as I think it's important that our website 
includes the Apache version as recognition and support for Apache.  We then 
have the choice to use what we prefer on any marketing materials (eg. 
Brochures, leaflets, stickers etc)

So I will propose the following next steps

- I will put together a survey with links to all these various options 
(including the existing) and will open it up for a community vote.

   -  I will also add some fields to the survey so that people can add comments 
about what they like and don't like. (e.g they might like the design but not 
the colour etc)

I'm hoping that after the survey we will have enough feedback to work with and 
get things moving again.

So please give me a day or so to put it together and I'll post the link to the 
survey / vote here and the dev list.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Anticipate the end of life of the 13.07 branch and backport some non-bug related changes to the 14.12 and 15.12 branches

Thanks for the response -Jacopo. (You posted a minute before I did!)

Anyway I think that I might have an idea that could solve our problem – let's 
just leave 14.12 and 15.12 as unreleased branches.

The jar issue is only an issue if we want to convert the unreleased branches 
into a release. Unreleased they can contain the jar files and the special 
purpose components etc – but if we want to release them then we need to fix 
the jar file problem before it can be released.

Christian mentions that people are using the unreleased branches, so by leaving 
them unreleased, we are actually giving our users something that can help them 
move from 13.07.

So I suggest that we seriously consider leaving 14.12 and 15.12 as unreleased 
branches.

For the next point – I think our next release should be the 16.x – so that 
means that we are not backporting any changes and can take a branch directly 
from the trunk once the gradle changes have been applied.

Comments anyone?

Thank you Christian.
Your proposal makes sense but the problem is that we will not be able to
release (14.12, 15.12 etc...) until we have removed all the jars from the
distribution, and implementing this in the branches will require some
layout changes that will bring instability: the releases will be delayed
regardless and if we want to implement two different mechanisms for
downloading the jars for 14.12 vs the trunk and 16.x etc... than the
codebases will become rather different and more difficult to maintain; and
the extra effort will have to be backed up by the interested users. We have
to consider these aspects and do a reality check on resources before moving
in any direction.

While replacing Ant with Gradle sounds like a good plan, I don't think
it's a good idea to backport these changes. Seriously, when implementing
OFBiz at a customer the only sane choice is to use a release branch
(even if there is no release yet). The point of a release is to have a
stable codebase, and porting the Gradle stuff (including changes in
startup etc.) to the release branches will cause instability.
Additionally, It will take quite some time before these changes will be
done in trunk. Releasing 14.12 and 15.12 without the changes and then
later doing a minor release with the changes would be bad.

Hi all,

as you may know we are working at migrating the build scripts of the OFBiz
trunk from Ant to Gradle.
Together with this important change we are also modifying, for policy
reasons, the way we distribute the external dependencies (i.e., the jar
files needed by OFBiz): the required jars will be downloaded at build time.
Since these changes are not bug fixes, the current plan is to do these
changes only in the trunk and do not backport them to the active branches,
that are currently:

* 13.07
* 14.12
* 15.12

However, we will still have to modify these branches by removing the
external jar files and download them using Ivy.

The first concern is that we will have to work on and stabilize two fronts:
Ivy for the 3 current release branches and Gradle for the trunk and the
future branches.
The second concern is that, as a consequence, we will have, for several
years, significant differences in the setup/build steps between the old
releases and the new ones that could cause confusion and regressions when
bugs are backported.

We have already issued 3 releases from the 13.07 branch and we have a
tentative plan to issue one more release around February 2017 that would be
the last release of this series.
As regards 14.12 and 15.12 branches, no releases have been issued yet.

Based on these details I would like you to consider the following decisions:

1) anticipate the end of life of the release branch 13.07 at now; we would
not issue the fourth release as initially planned
2) once stabilized, backport to 14.12 and 15.12 all the changes required to
build the system and download its dependencies with Gradle

Please express your opinion on each of them separately, since they are
independent (i.e., you could agree/disagree on the first/second/both).

Hi Taher

Tried trunk as well – still get the same “locale [en_GB]” error displayed
in the browser when running https://localhost:8443/ofbizdemo (which
defaults to https://localhost:8443/ofbizdemo/control/main
So that is working ok)

Simple command: gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=ofbizdemo
Restarted ofbiz : gradlew ofbiz : then the above url -> locale [en_GB]
error screen
Stopped ofbiz: then gradlew cleanAll loadDefault: gradlew ofbiz:  same
locale [en_GB] error screen
Would be interesting to see if you get the same.

Hello Mike,

What was the command you used to create the plugin? I ran the command in
trunk and see the new webapp working fine.

Re: send events from ofbiz

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Milan,

I think it mostly depends on the capabilities of the systems you want to 
connect to.


You can use REST services with data represented in JSON if the external 
system supports it.


If you want to use Java messaging, please refer to 
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Setting-Ofbiz-with-Enterprise-Service-Bus-td4662296.html 
where I have tried to describe how it can be implemented.


Bilgin's Camel endpoint for OFBiz is another option if you are using 
camel in your environment.

Hey guys, anyone using the PayPal integration currently? The existing OFBiz 
integration is based on the ancient API.

We’ve been investigating and the new Braintree API, acquired by PayPal, is very 
modern, keeps CC data on Paypal’s side which greatly simplifies PCI Compliance, 
and makes a great universal payment infrastructure for e-commerce focused 
businesses. It would integrate nicely with OFbiz 16.xx’s new architecture.

I’m looking for other companies interested in getting this going, and for 
potentially sharing resources to get this back into OFbiz so everyone can 
benefit.

This would also smooth OFbiz adoption.

Thanks,

Michael

Am 23.09.16 um 10:44 schrieb Jacopo Cappellato:

Hi all,

my proposal is to remove the "oagis" specialpurpose component from the
trunk and record the event in our Attic page [*].
If we will do this, the consequence will be that the component will no more
be available in future releases: if you are using it, or plan to use it,
speak up now! :-)
Otherwise, its source code and interesting concepts will be always
available in our source repository and interested parties could easily
retrieve its sources following the instructions in our Attic page.
The main motivation for this proposal is because of the tricky license of
the XML schema files under specialpurpose/oagis/dtd/
These files are an old and unmaintained version and we could not upgrade
them because since their inclusion in OFBiz the newer versions have been
re-licensed under an incompatible license. Even in they current license,
they require special handling and mention in our LICENSE file and,
considering the complexity of the subject, and the fact that the component
has never attracted much attention (based on the questions or contributions
received in the years), I think it would be safer if we remove it from the
trunk.

Kind regards,

Re: Community Day 17th September - Sprint Report

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Sharan,

thank you for putting the report together!

About counting I see some problems:

1. you cannot assign a task to a new sprint if it is already assigned to 
an earlier sprint (or I haven't found it). I had several of these issues 
this time.
We'll need a process to remove an issue from a sprint if it is not 
finished or add to an additional sprint.


2. Issues with subtasks count as one (see issue 8044 and it's 18 
subtasks) as Jacques also mentioned.


3. I wasn't able to put issue OFBIZ-8118 and it's 8 subtasks to the sprint.

All in all, I guess we have a multiple count of 19 achieved during the 
community day(s), I think it comes close to the number of commits we 
have recorded.


Thanks and regards,
Michael


Am 24.09.16 um 13:13 schrieb Sharan Foga:

Hi Everyone

First of all a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the OFBiz Community 
Day last weekend. I saw that during Saturday there were at least 103 OFBiz commits 
and the top 5 committers on SVN that day were all OFBiz ones! (Michael, Pranay, 
Arun, Jacques & Gils).

Our committers can't do their work without the help and support from the rest 
of the community so thanks to everyone that contributed. It all counts!

I've closed the Jira Sprint the report details can be found at the link below:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=64=reporting=sprintRetrospective=251

(NOTE: If you worked on an issue and it isn't appearing in the report, then it 
may not have been added to the sprint.)

The report shows that 19 issues were closed or resolved, another 9 others were 
worked on. I suspect that the actual work effort was a lot higher than this 
based on the commit figures alone so if we want to continue to use the Sprint 
Report to track our progress we may need to ensure that everyone knows when and 
how to add Jira issues to a current sprint.

Thanks to everyone for a great effort and I hope everyone is looking forward to 
the next Community Day on 17th December.

Thanks
Sharan

I would say that this documentation does not help very much to get OFBiz

Re: Integration Issues(REST/SOAP) for the latest version 16.11 release in SVN

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Allan,

to find the best solution, it would be helpful to know your requirements 
for the interface between your system and OFBiz.


In some cases, it might be a good solution to have an asynchronous 
interface like a file import (e.g. if you have thousands of payment 
infos in a short amount of time, or if you want to be able to preserve 
and reimport your data in case of failure, etc.).


In other cases, a web service interface like REST or a messaging 
solution like JMS can be helpful. It depends on your requirements and 
environment parameters...


It's easy to provide your own services as REST services taking JSON data 
from a specific URL, read, parse and convert it and call the standard 
services to write data to the OFBiz database. You don't necessarily need 
a REST framework for this (although it would be great if we have a 
standard OFBiz way to deal with REST).


I think connecting to a legacy db (which should be read only if updated 
from other applications than OFBiz) is uncommon in your case. You would 
have to monitor the legacy db or put some ECA's/triggers on it to be 
noticed about the changes and write the data to the OFBiz database on 
these events. For my taste it would tie the systems together instead of 
having them loosely coupled.

Hi OFBiz Dev/Admin Team,

Good day! Currently, most of my concern is to integrate our company system
to
OFBiz Accounting module. I am following the tutorial but I am currently
experiencing bugs/bottlenecks such as in connecting to a legacy db and the
the SOAP RPC example integration with LifeRay(https://cwiki.apache.
org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Calling+OFBiz+services+from+Liferay+using+SOAP).
I am missing the correct jars. As I see there are deprecated tutorials, I
don't know which one will fit the release 16.11 svn release. For this, I
created an issue in stackoverflow.com which is
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45569501/how-to-pass-dat
a-from-a-remote-database-into-ofbiz-database

Now, I am trying the REST approach in https://cwiki.apache.org/confl
uence/display/OFBIZ/REST+Service+Implementation


As a summary, I am passing payment info from a separate JSF application
towards OFBiz Accounting module. So as I look in the OFBiz documentation,
there are several ways... 1. By reading XML file 2. Via connecting to a
legacy db 3. By SOAP RPC 4. Via REST. So the tutorials from 2,3,4 methods
are very limited and missing details. And I don't know even it works in the
latest version of 16.11 updated svn link.

Platform Summary:

Eclipse Oxygen(OFBiz)
Netbeans IDE(Remote Application/Our PrimeFace-JSF application)
Ubuntu 16.04
For SOAP RPC client :
  -jaxrpc-api-1.1.jar
  -wsdl4j.jar
  -axis-1.4.jar
  -commons-discovery-0.5.jar

I hope you can help me find the necessary tutorial for the integration.
Thanks a lot!

Re: estimate the delivery date

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Nicolas,

I'm not sure.. while there are corresponding fields (estimatedStartDate, 
estimatedArrivalDate) in the ShipmentRouteSegment entity and some 
functionality using WorkEfforts, there seem to be no business logic to 
calculate it on base of e.g. facility location and destination.


I think that this will need data provided by the shipping provider as a 
base to do calculations. You need to know the route points, the 
estimated time between them and the route the shipment will take. 
Everything dependend on the shipping provider.


It would be an interesting functionality for OFBiz but I don't think 
that we already have it OOTB.


Regards,

Michael

Re: Transaction timeouts

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Max,

you can make use of TransactionUtil, see WebToolsService#entityExportAll 
for an example.


The main pattern is

// start transaction

boolean beganTx = TransactionUtil.begin();

// iterate through generic values and store them, count numberWritten

...

   // commit after 500 values

   if (numberWritten % 500 == 0) {
   TransactionUtil.commit(beganTx);
   beganTx = TransactionUtil.begin();
   }

// commit remaining values

TransactionUtil.commit(beganTx);


Hope that helps,

I have a groovy script ( not a service) that collects (scrapes) data,

Is there a way to call forced commits occasionally during execution to clear

Could you share your email smtp settings in general.properties file?

Thanks,

Re: OFBiz performance enhancement

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Giulio,

have you already considered the production setup guide in [1]?

If yes, we will need some more information as there are many possible 
performance issues (network, configuration etc.).

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask you some suggestion on improving performances of our
eCommerce site
We're monitoring our jvm  with NewRelic tool and response times are quite
good, and the server on which ofbiz run has minimal cpu/ram usage, but
customers often complains slowness in page loading.

Which components of OFBiz should we change or on which other aspects should
we work on to get better performances (eg: database, catalina servlet
container, Tomcat..) ?

​Thank you in advance,

Giulio​

Hi Michael,

I see now, using 'Pony Mail', that there is no attached file in my message. 
Probably not possible - I didn't know it, I'm sorry.  I have used an email 
client to attach the file and reply and I can also see it and open it in our 
correspondence - in both of my email clients, desktop and phone.

Nevertheless, I would like to contribute and I'm gonna take the necessary steps 
to register myself as a contributor.

Regards,
Daniel

Re: Service dispatcher threw an exception: Cannot find service location class

[Michael Brohl]

Coric,

I guess there is a typo somewhere so that the class cannot be found. No chance 
to diagnose without all information/ the full code. If you can make a patch of 
your setting against the release version we might find the error.

Regards,
Michael
