Re: Build issue in custom plugin

[Michael Brohl]

Tejas,

I recommend to use the Gradle task to create a complete plugin with all 
necessary structures and files, see README.md:


===

### Create a new plugin

Create a new plugin. The following project parameters are passed:

- pluginId: mandatory
- pluginResourceName: optional, default is the Capitalized value of pluginId
- webappName: optional, default is the value of pluginId
- basePermission: optional, default is the UPPERCASE value of pluginId

`gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin`

`gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin -PpluginResourceName=MyPlugin 
-PwebappName=mypluginweb -PbasePermission=MYSECURITY`


The above command creates a new plugin in /plugins/myplugin

===

Re: *.html file rendering in OFBiz screen

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Amit,

there seems to be a misunderstanding: ftl files are Freemarker template 
files (hence the extension). They can contain any text and also html or 
any other format along with the Freemarker language to deal with dynamic 
data to be rendered. Using the Freemarker language is optional.


If you want to render a plain html file, you can just fill your template 
with the html. The output of the ftl file rendered by OFBiz is send to 
the client's browser and diplayed there.


There is no need for an extra extension handled in the HtmlWidget.

Michael

Hello Everyone,

OFBiz only supports the rendering of *.ftl files in OFBiz screens.
*.ftl files are same as *.html files with richer capabilities but sometimes
there are situations where a user needs to render only *.html files instead
of *.ftl files.

I have debugged the code and figure out that method '*renderHtmlTemplate*'
of HtmlWidget.java is responsible for rendering *.ftl files. I walked
through it and met with this condition:

if (location.endsWith(".ftl")) {
  // render file
} else {
 //return error
}

My proposal is to update this condition like this:

if (location.endsWith(".ftl") || location.endsWith(".html")) {
  // render file
} else {
 //return error
}

I have tested it and it is working fine. I don't see any harm in this
change.

Having all kinds of fun with Release 16.11.03 today...

I am following the Getting Started with Apache OFBiz Manufacturing and MRP 
book, to add products and suppliers.

Went to add a supplier for my product, and the Add Product Supplier screen 
doesn't provide you with any way to specify or select an existing Supplier ID.

Had to use the Entity Data Maintenance tool to create a new SupplierProduct 
record, and look up the ID keys for various fields from SQL.

Just for the record, EA is an ISO standard. Why the keys don't use the ISO 
abbreviations for the key ID, is baffling to me. Having to type OTH_ea is 
stupid.

I am guessing we're not using test driven development for this project? A lot 
of broken functionality in this release.

Re: Cannot install apache-ofbiz-16.11.03 on windows 10

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Christian,

there is no need to uninstall Java/OFbiz when there is just a missing 
JAVA_HOME environment variable. Just point this variable to the correct 
Java home directory.


What does "echo %JAVA_HOME%" and "java -version" say on the command line?

OFBIZ_HOME is not needed at all, the Gradle build detects everything on 
its own.


I recommend reading the README.md in the project's root folder. It 
describes every step you need to run OFBiz.


NoClassDefFoundError: It seems that you don't have the necessary 
dependencies installed on your system.


Please notice that the library dependencies are (intentionally) not 
delivered together with the release. They should be automatically 
downloaded by the Gradle build which can take some time for the initial 
build. You will need an internet connection to do this.


If your Gradle cache is messy, please consider removing the contents in 
the .gradle folder in your user home directory and execute "gradlew 
cleanAll loadDefault ofbiz" again. You should see a lot of additional 
libaries be downloaded during the build which may take a while.


Hope this helps,

Re: Entity ID key counter not reset after import from XML

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Tim,

if you export the values and just import the generic values, no new 
primary key values are generated. The data is imported just the way it is.


Therefore the sequence value item for the table is not increased and if 
you want to create a new item through the user interface, you'll receive 
an already used primary key value. This is all logical and no failure in 
the software.


You have two options here:

1. set the sequence value item for the table one higher than your 
highest value in the loaded data. This can be done using the entity 
maintenance in webtools.


2. import your data without the primary key values. OFBiz will then 
generate them from the SEQUENCE_VALUE_ITEM table.


Hope this helps,

Re: Entity ID key counter not reset after import from XML

[Michael Brohl]

Maybe I was not clear enough:

If you import data from another system, containing the primary key, you 
won't get a new sequence value from the system you import to. It just 
imports with the pk in the data. The sequence value for the pk is 
therefore not increased.


In case of TelecomNumber, the primary key is a contactMechId, which is 
the pk of the ContactMech entity. So you have to look at the sequence 
value item for ContactMech. Importing telecom numbers alone are not 
sufficient, the database model is a bit more sophisticated in this case. 
You have a ContactMech with a purpose TELECOM_NUMBER and a detail entity 
TelecomNumber.


I recommend to have a closer look at the data model. It will make some 
things clearer. I also recommend the new data model book of 2017, see 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Data+Model+Diagrams.

Michael

No, this was a new telephone record, being added to a new party, not from the

phone number for the new party, I had to hit save 41 times, to get to an id 
value that it would accept. That is certainly not acceptable, the system should 
know what the next key available to use is. It doesn't look like the 
TelecomNumber uses the SEQUENCE_VALUE_ITEM table to store its next key, so it 
must be using some other method, that isn't working correctly.

You also run the tasks all in one, Gradle executes all necessary dependend 
tasks by itself.

No need to run them one-by-one.

Re: Cannot install apache-ofbiz-16.11.03 on windows 10

[Michael Brohl]

Christian,

can you provide the output of the two commands I provided in my last 
message?


Does your JAV_HOME point to the JDK (the JRE is not sufficient)?

Did you unpack the release zip in the folder and did you cd to the OFBiz 
root folder where the README is located? These steps where not mentioned 
in your description.


Do you see the dependency jars downloading during the first build? If 
not, have you cleared the .gradle folder as I suggested?


It's pretty straight forward to download an run OFBiz OOTB so there must 
be something on your side.


Regards,

Michael

Hi Christian,

there is no need to uninstall Java/OFbiz when there is just a missing
JAVA_HOME environment variable. Just point this variable to the correct
Java home directory.

What does "echo %JAVA_HOME%" and "java -version" say on the command line?

OFBIZ_HOME is not needed at all, the Gradle build detects everything on
its own.

I recommend reading the README.md in the project's root folder. It
describes every step you need to run OFBiz.

NoClassDefFoundError: It seems that you don't have the necessary
dependencies installed on your system.

Please notice that the library dependencies are (intentionally) not
delivered together with the release. They should be automatically
downloaded by the Gradle build which can take some time for the initial
build. You will need an internet connection to do this.

If your Gradle cache is messy, please consider removing the contents in
the .gradle folder in your user home directory and execute "gradlew
cleanAll loadDefault ofbiz" again. You should see a lot of additional
libaries be downloaded during the build which may take a while.

Hope this helps,

Hi Christian,

it would be more readable if you answer the questions directly inline in 
the cited original message, one-by-one.


I'm still waiting for the answers or actions to the following:

- What does "echo %JAVA_HOME%" and "java -version" say on the command line?

- please delete the .gradle folder inside your user's home directory and 
try to run ofbiz again. You should see that Gradle download all 
necessary dependencies then. I'm pretty sure that you don't have the 
needed dependencies installed.


Thanks,

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Christian,

please open your command line / terminal, I think it is "cmd" on 
Windows? I'm not sure because I'm on Mac for a few years now...


There you type "echo %JAVA_HOME%" and copy the output to your answer.

Then you type "java -version" and copy the output to your answer.

You should not delete the .gradle folder inside the OFBiz directory but 
delete the .gradle folder in your user's home directory.


Please notice Taher's advise. If your user's home directory contains 
spaces, this might be the problem why Gradle cannot download/save the 
dependencies.

Re: Hot-Deploy in 16.11.04...and Later?

[Michael Brohl]

The hot-deploy order was removed after the release branch for 16.11 was 
created, along with the removal of specialpurpose (now ofbiz-plugins in 
another repository).


So plugins is available in trunk and the 17.12 release branch.

If you use 16.11, your custom components should be placed in hot-deploy. 
When you move to trunk or 17.12, you can simply move the components into 
the plugins folder.

The directory still exists in 16.11.04. Would it be correct to assume that even if this still works it would better to make any customization in plugins (mentioned in the above URL)? And would this be true of custom component loads of data when nothing else is being customized, or is data load customization a completely different topic for building custom gradlew load targets?

Hi Everyone

(Trying again as my first post didn't reach this list)

If you have read the latest project blog post then you will have seen a section 
about the discussions that have been happening on our development list about 
the new proposed OFBiz documentation framework.

https://s.apache.org/VfxE

It is based on asciidoc and will be able to generate documentation in various 
formats. This means that we can start to consolidate our OFBiz documentation 
within OFBiz itself and adapt it to any new releases.

Feedback to the proposal have been very positive and once the code is moved 
into our current trunk we will need to start some documentation work. We will 
be looking for volunteers to become part of a documentation team that will work 
on reviewing the documents we already have in the wiki and other sources, then 
help to re-structure them to fit into the new documentation framework model.

Being involved with documentation is a good way to learn OFBiz :-)

So if you are interested in being part of the OFBiz documentation team then 
please respond to this message and I will add you to the list.

Thanks

I think it is of more value to take the chance to make the documentation 
itself better in the course of the migration instead of simply having 
the old state in a new format.


We should maybe also agree on writing new documentation (or anhancing a 
good amount of documentation) directly in the new format instead of 
putting it in confluence 8if applicable)?


Thanks,

Michael

It is heartwarming to see you fine people signing up. I am thrilled
and looking forward to working with you. And I have to say Sharan
knows how to bring us together, so thank you!

In reference to Olivier's comment regarding using conversion tools, I
would advise to perhaps try to be careful. Our objective is not
necessarily to copy-paste existing documentation, but rather to write
clean, relevant and well thought out documentation. If an old piece of
documentation is good and relevant, we use it, if not, we update it
and clean it, or of it is not useful then we just drop it.

I hope more people feel the urge to sign up. What you folks are going
to achieve is to make OFBiz much more competitive by giving
accessibility to new comers through comprehensive documentation.

Hi Everyone

(Trying again as my first post didn't reach this list)

If you have read the latest project blog post then you will have seen a

section about the discussions that have been happening on our development
list about the new proposed OFBiz documentation framework.

https://s.apache.org/VfxE

It is based on asciidoc and will be able to generate documentation in

various formats. This means that we can start to consolidate our OFBiz
documentation within OFBiz itself and adapt it to any new releases.

Feedback to the proposal have been very positive and once the code is

moved into our current trunk we will need to start some documentation work.
We will be looking for volunteers to become part of a documentation team
that will work on reviewing the documents we already have in the wiki and
other sources, then help to re-structure them to fit into the new
documentation framework model.

Being involved with documentation is a good way to learn OFBiz :-)

So if you are interested in being part of the OFBiz documentation team

then please respond to this message and I will add you to the list.

Thanks

Re: Sending mail from Ofbiz does not work

[Michael Brohl]

I agree that the default population of SystemProperty with configuration 
values is confusing, especially for the mail configuration


I'd suggest to not remove the load data but to comment them out of the 
ofbiz-component.xml. They can stay there as an example but would not be 
loaded by default.

Re: [SKYPE CALL] Confirmation of Date and Time for Documentation Call

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Sharan, all,

I most likely cannot attend the Skype call so I will add some thoughts here.

I think we should set up a small documentation quality team which is 
responsible that the documentation send in by contributors is of good 
quality, consistent and (mostly) error free. This team should also 
propose the structure of the documentation and maybe add the empty .adoc 
files and includes to lead the way for contributors.


I'd volunteer to be part of this team.

It could also be a good idea to track who is working on a piece of 
documentation to avoid double work and encourage collaboration between 
contributors interested in the same topic(s). I think this might be Jira 
with a main task containing the main "rules" of documentation and 
several subtasks for each topic.


I suggest to have also a process to move documentation from the Wiki to 
the documentation in the repository. We should make sure that we do not 
have different documentation in both places. If someone is working on a 
topic he also could search the Wiki for it and try to merge/move it 
where applicable.


Moved/merged documentation from the Wiki should then be moved to an adoc 
Attic until everthing is cleared and the community agrees to remove it 
from the Wiki.


We should also define which contents should be in the repository and 
what the Wiki should contain or be linked to.


These are my first thoughts, happy to get some feedback and news from 
the Skype call.

Please remember that anyone and everyone can join the team at any time and you 
don't need to be an expert in OFBiz to contribute to it. In fact I think that 
people new to OFBiz have a unique perspective and can let us know if what has

I would like to make an evolution in the management of the request of

At present the stages are the following ones:
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Change of password by a temporary one (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail with a link to define a new password (by the 
system)

  4 - Set the new password (by the user)
  5 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

This workflow is problematic because the change of password is made as 
soon as the person confirms the change of password (stage 2). It is 
possible that the person who makes the change of password is not the 
person associated with the account.


Here is a proposal of modification of the workflow
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Recording of a request of lost of password associated with the 
login (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail to confirm the request of change of password 
with a link containing the reference of the request to change of 
password (by the system)
  4 - Connection of the user to the form to change the password and 
seized with a new password (by the user)

  5 - Check that the login and the request are associated
  6 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

What do you think about this change?

Hi Everyone

Thank you everyone who attended and please see below for the details I 
captured  from the Skype call yesterday to help kickstart our 
documentation effort.


*Skype Call to Kickstart OFBiz Documentation Effort*
*Date*: 27th February 2018 at 14.00 (UTC+1)

_*Agenda*_

 * Introductions
 * Technical Environment Overview
 * Collaboration Environment
 * Next Steps and Actions

_*Introductions*_

 * 8 people attended the call.- Olivier Heintz, Tim Boyden, Arthur
   Marquez, Tarun Thakur, Bader Ali, Taher Alkhateeb, Jacopo
   Cappellato, Sharan Foga
 * Main objective were to discuss how to kick off the OFBiz
   Documentation effort

_*General Overview*_

 * We went through a bit of an overview of the project and the
   background regarding OFBiz documentation.
 * Initially the project had implemented docbook but this used XML and
   had a large complex vocabulary, that made it not easy for people to
   use.It also wasn't very adaptable as a generic documentation tool
 * After many discussions on the dev list we decided to adopt asciidoc
   because it was a lot simpler to use.
 o Writing asciidoc is a lot like normal writing in English, which
   will allow people with little or no technical knowledge the
   ability to contribute
 o there was already a lot of documentation about how to use it
 o it has different publishing options (html, PDF etc) and so can
   in future be integrated with our online help

 * The purpose of the documentation project is divided into 3 areas
 o   to provide comprehensive documentation for all of OFBiz
 o to be a tool for one source publishing to multiple outputs
 o to integrate with the online help

 * Everyone that can help with this effort will add value. We have a
   variety of people from different backgrounds that will make the
   documentation richer and based on practical experience.

*_General Guidelines_*

 * Want to try and avoid copy and paste patterns and make documentation
   modular, so that we write it once and re-use in many places
   http://www.writethedocs.org/guide/

 * Focus on more topic based documentation to help users achieve
   something so they can get started quickly

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic-based_authoring

 * Need to keep an open mind as this documentation effort will be an
   evolution. We wont get it right first time and there will be several
   iterations where we change content multiple times
 * Documentation can't work without content so our first key focus
   should be to get as much content into the framework as possible
   (knowing that it maybe updated and evolve as we go)
 * The PoC documentation framework that we will use is neutral so we
   can make the documentation as detailed as we want
 * The documentation will be in English only at this stage. Once we
   have a completed English manual, we can look at other languages and
   perhaps these can be provided via a plugin...
 * Put together some getting started guidelines that will be a
   reference. It could include roles and responsibilities and also an
   overview of the end to end process flow to get some documentation
   submitted

_*Design*_

 * Documentation that we will be working on writing will be essentially
   2 top level parts
 o Framework Guide (technical / developer)
 o Core Applications (user)

 * Documentation for plugins will be managed separately and so each
   plugin will have its own documentation. (NOTE: this means that each
   specialpurpose application will have its own)
 * We can make use of a structure of hidden vs published documents. We
   can create multiple modular topic related files in a hidden
   directory and then include whatever topics we need in the published
   document
 * The header offset option allows us to publish each application as a
   separate guide (e.g accounting guide, manufacturing etc) rather than
   all of the application
 * We can look at other published guides to help us see what good
   documentation looks like e.g https://gradle.org/docs/

*_Documentation Tools_*

 * We can use our existing JIRA to track the documentation work. This
   means that people can pick up a Jira ticket to work on.
 * Some tools were suggested for people who wanted to start writing
 * asciidocfx : https://asciidocfx.com
 * eclipse plugin for asciidoc :
   http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/asciidoc-tools
 * Also many modern editors will also be OK (e.g. atom etc)

_*Mentoring*_

 * We discussed the idea of providing mentors for people to get
   started. Some people are new to OFBiz and need some guidance to help
   them get going.
 * Suggestion is that the more experienced OFBiz people volunteer to
   help others get up to speed
 * Mentors can create some example documen

Mailing lists are the official medium to work together and document 
things (if it does not happen on the list it didn't happen). I'd suggest 
ro first start on dev@ and we'll see if this produces too much traffic 
there.


If you want to propose things you can also create or add to wiki pages

Great Work Sharan. Everything is very thorough and clear

As you know from the development ML, the initial work is committed into trunk. 
Perhaps the next actions should include:
- identifying and matching mentors and mentees (if that's a word!)
- maybe creating an umbrella JIRA for the entire project

And I suppose perhaps we should start to move this discussion to dev@?
I hope everyone in the documentation team is subscribed over there?

Hi All

One of the things we want to introduce for the documentation work is ensuring 
that we have some experienced OFBiz people working with people that are new or 
less experienced.

Being a Mentor
=
At the moment Michael and myself have indicated that we are available to be 
documentation mentors. The main role will be to :

- help the documentation contributor you are mentoring get started
- provide general background OFBiz help and support

The objective is to give  the newer people more confidence so they can pick up 
and work on any of the documentation tasks.

I can see in our team list that there are a few other experienced OFBiz people 
:-) , so if you are willing to help out someone new then please add a Yes to 
the ‘Willing to be a Mentor” column.

Finding a Mentor
==
Those of you who would like a mentor then please edit the Documentation Team 
wiki page and put ‘Need a Mentor’ in the Mentor column next to your name. 
We will then try and allocate someone to you.

I know that not everyone will want or need a mentor, but it's good o have the 
option.

Thanks

Dear Gurus,

I'd like to report another potential bug.

Environment as follows:
Release Version: 16.11.04 (I have tested it and it's ok in 16.11.03)
Work Steps:
1.  In the login page: https://www.myowndomain.com/webtools/control/main, then click 
login, then click "forget your passwords".
2.  Then fill in the User Name that I have already created before, which is 
associated with a primary email address.
3.  Then click "continue" and then hit "email password";
4.  As I have set the fields correctly in the file general.properties and also in 
database table ofbiz.system_property, I receive a system email telling me to "click 
here to reset password" with a link.
Then click the link and following the instructions to fill in the new passwords 
and then the following error messages pop up. Generally speaking, the error is 
about java.lang.NullPointerException.

(BTW, I tried it a couple of times with different locales like en and zh_CN but 
all failed.)

Here below I highlighted somethings strange, where I have added some debugging 
texts (in yellow background) to see what's going on.
Obviously, in my debugging text Tag ---801--- the keyValue is missing (null).
Maybe that's why it throws a java.lang.NullPointerException.

However, when I compare the codes (where it concerns) of EntityCrypto.java and 
LoginWorker.java between 11.04 and 11.03, I could not find the difference So I 
do NOT understand why it works in my 11.03 but not 11.04.

Hi Jochen,

your message was moderated.

Please subscribe to the user mailing list, this would allow that your 
message directly go through: http://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html


Thanks,

Michael


Am 29.03.18 um 10:39 schrieb jochen.bout...@finalbeta.net:

Hi Taher,

The reason we require a subdir is because we already have a system in place 
that works like this.

The user goes to https://reverseproxy and is presented with a login form where 
he enters his LDAP credentials. These are validated and the user is presented 
with a menu.
The user clicks the links in the menu which takes him for example to 
https://reverseproxy/helpdesk or https://reverseproxy/monitoring or 
https://reverseproxy/files or https://reverseproxy/ofbiz (You get the idea)

As the reverse proxy sends the users credentials, the user only enters them 
once for all applications and he is logged in automatically. The single point 
of login only works when we utilise subdirectories.

Re: Scheduled jobs weird behavior

[Michael Brohl]

Hi Giulio,

It seems you directly store the generated file to the ftp server, correct?

In such cases, we store the file to be transferred locally in an archive 
directory and then transfer it to the ftp server.


You'll see if the file was written and you have a backup in case there 
was something wrong with the ftp transfer.


Best regards,

Michael


Am 30.03.18 um 16:16 schrieb Giulio Speri - MpStyle Srl:

Hi Rishi,

thanks for the reply!

The api used for the ftp transfer are the apache FTP api, group
"commons-net" (version 3.5);
The code used to connect and store file via fftp is the following:

ftp = new FTPClient()
ftp.connect "xxx.yy.ww"
ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode()
ftp.login "username", "password"
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory "INPUT_DIRECTORY"
//put
InputStream file_put= new FileInputStream(directoryZip);
ftp.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
ftp.storeFile(zipName, file_put);
file_put.close()
ftp.logout()
ftp.disconnect()

Shouldn't Groovy automatically raise exception in case of errors?




2018-03-30 15:07 GMT+02:00 Rishi Solanki :


Giulio,

In addition to what Nicolas suggested please share or look into the
specific code which logs the files and export the orders at ftp locaion.
Probable cause for such error writer create the file at particular location
but could not push the data/file due to some reason but send no
exception/failure.

My guess problem should be related to pushing the exported data and logs to
ftp location and is giving success but not pushing. Kind of case when we
tell the writer object to write and close. Sometime writer.flush() is also
required.

Also if possible at your end then share the relevant code and api you are
using, to better understand the problem.

HTH!

I am quite confused by this situation and I really don't know what and

Does anyone ever experienced a similar issue?


I worked several time with service engine and I interpreted your feedback
as follow :
* the service in the Job List screen, has the state of "Finished" -> Ok
for OFBiz the service return a success
* the flag on the OrderHeader entity has been set to "Y" (by default is
null this field); -> If your service run under transaction, no reason

that

your service correctly
* No log file nor zip file is written
   ** I see different case, if you are sure that your code works properly
check if you didn't manage some silent exception ( as
try{...}catch(Exception){ }) and is it's the case review you exception
management.
   ** Increase your code with more log with good log4j configuration for

   ** Check if you haven't external element that can be delete your file

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

Any hints?

Thanks and regards,

Michael

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:




   topic-queue="ofbizServiceOutbound" type="queue" username="xxx" 
password="xxx" listen="false"/>



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




location="outputChannel" invoke="dummyService"> Send a JMS 
message to an EAI queue to call an ESB service
   allow-html="any" /> 


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




   topic-queue="ofbizServiceInbound" type="queue" username="xxx" 
password="xxx" listen="true"/>



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

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 all,

I feel proud to be able to announce that we have successfully integrated a

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.

Should committers download the entire ofbiz repository to help with

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.


Is there a standard procedure new committers should follow
for backporting?
Only bugs should be backported to active release branches (if they 
happen

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.

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 
readable by bots so easily and without mailto links? See examples in the 
older entries.


Currently it seems I have not the permissions to do it myself, no edit

  Should committers download the entire ofbiz repository to help

backporting?


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.

  Is there a standard procedure new committers should follow

for backporting?


Only bugs should be backported to active release branches (if they
happen
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.

Hi Sharan,

thanks for driving this forward! See my comments inline.

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

Re: Running ofbiz on a AWS EC2 micro instance

Hi Christopher,

this is a very low traffic scenario you described so I think you can run

My use case is the following.

I want to setup a eCommerce site for the dairy farmer coop that I belong to.

There will be 10 - 15 items for sale
There will be 25 user accounts
Every 2 weeks, the users will enter their orders, one per user is expected
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

I think I could convince the coop to spring for the $6.50/month

The next instance size would likely be pushed back and the google docs

Re: [DISCUSSION] OFBiz Online Documentation

[Michael Brohl]

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,
etc.)
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
presentation into Sozi format so its SVG output could be embedded into
any OFBiz web page.  If the original author is cool with that (can't

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


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.

I totally agree with that point with an addition - the business *and* 
technical stuff must be presented in a clear and easy to find way.


We don't know who is looking at the site and for what purpose so 
everything should be covered:


- 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.

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.

Hi Sharan,

thank you very much for the summary - for me who was not there it is

and it quite motivates me be part of it next year.


Would be fine to read more from the attendees (hint, hint :-) )

Thank you all for being such great representers of the project. You've

Hi All

I’m still recovering (not in the hangover sense!) from the great time I had
in Budapest with everyone. It was really good to be there and meet, chat and
generally hang out. There were a few surprises for me including 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
first language was not English and once again I was very, very impressed!

I think that we have a few jokers in our community  – for example someone
took a picture of Julien during his UX Design presentation when the slide
was blank! (BTW if you haven’t seen the OFBiz photos from Apachecon then
please take a look at the Twitter feed.)

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
conversation!

On Friday morning we ran an informal OFBiz group discussion to talk about
any points that people saw as important. These could then be raised on the
mailing lists for further discussions within the community.  I think that
some really good ideas and suggestions came up and I’ll write up the notes
that I made and add them to the wiki.

As well as discussions, networking and teambuilding happening between the
OFBiz group, we also did some networking with other Apache projects – 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 helped in
anyway. I hope you all enjoyed the experience - I know that I did. Let’s do
it again next year!

Thanks
Sharan

We discuss about OFBiz GUI and I'll start to open again this topics

This meeting was very good to understand each other. All discussions 
were faster than in the mailing list and I'm quite sure that it will

There was a lot of interaction and discussion and these notes only summarise

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

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

Re: Fwd: ofbiz ubuntu deployment Apache server

Hi Tom,

OFBiz already contains an embedded Tomcat. There is no need for an 
external Tomcat installation and it is not supported to run OFBiz in an 
external App Server.


So the connector configuration is inside OFBiz, see 
framework/catalina/ofbiz-component.xml.

Yes, see my earlier remarks.

You use AJP through port 8009 to communicate from the webserver to OFBiz 
and vice versa.
The http/https handling will be between your Apache webserver and the 
client/browser, that's why you don't need it in OFBiz if you use AJP.


So the communication is

browser <-- http/https --> Apache webserver <-- ajp --> OFBiz


Moreover, the Apache config/virtual host files should be in the
000-default.conf  000-default-le-ssl.conf files I attached in last email,
right?


These files did not come with the mail. Attachments often do not go 
through. Please use another way to share your code (Github, DropBox or 
else).



Or, should be Apache config file be a different file?


We use to create new virtual host files beside the standard Ubuntu files 
because they might get updated if you have webserver updates.

But it is possible to use them with the changes needed fpr the ajp proxy.
