Re: about entity engine

The problem is that with a generic data model many entities are used in many different places and in different contexts, if you tried to encapsulate all of those differences within a single entity definition you are very quickly going to end up with a very messy entity model. IMO separatio

Re: about entity engine

hi Scott, I got your points. Actually, form widgets are still required to show the GROUP with a set of predefined fields. But such form widget will be very generic, which is just show the group in the way defined in the entity model. And as such the benefits are: 1) a single point to define entity

Re: about entity engine

I think to be able to generate a reasonably functional UI from something like this you'd end up with so much complexity in your entity model that someone would come up with a new idea to solve that problem and they'd call it the form widget. Regards Scott HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedi

Re: about entity engine

about entity engine

hi all, We can define entities in XML files. However, only database specific semantics could be defined there. For those application level semantics (like trigger, visiblity, validation) has to be defined in different places. The lack of a single place to define such metadata makes ofbiz hard to m

Hi Bruno, I like the fact that you've segmented the main business areas becasue as a user, their is less distraction and less to confuse me with parts of ofbiz that I'm never likely to use. I think that's the key. in the real world, most users are limited to certain areas andare never likely to g
