Rich client: licensing and other features

2007-09-15 Thread Cameron Smith
Following on from the discussion about ZK and other rich technologies: a. In terms of compatibility with OFBiz's Apache 2 license, ZK is definitely not compatible for inclusion in OFBiz itself (as it uses dual HPL-Commercial, like MySQL or Opentaps). This has been pointed out on this

Dear Shi Jinghai, your solution is exactly what we already did to resolve this problem. We just created a helper method which built up this between-like structure. It has been working fine for several months. The reason I wrote to the ML, is that if EntityCondition.BETWEEN does not actually

Hi, to respond to your questions about SOA and workflow (based on my own experience). 1. SOA. OFBiz would indeed be compatible with an SOA as it provides you with an easy way to expose pretty much any functionality as services, which can be exported as SOAP services very easily. OFBiz also helps

Accounting Entity Service questions

David, just to clear up your worry about AcctgTrans.specialTimePeriodId. It is not in fact the case that a certain date only falls within one period. At least within the Moz acctg system, there are 16 accounting months - one for opening, and three for closing. Here's a concrete example.
