I will certainly be glad to help in this. I had re-packaged the entity
engine as and OSGi bundle and exposed the delegator as osgi service. I
found minor issues like loading of entityengine.xml from classpath and
this did not go well with the OSGi. Let us wait for the the
restructuring of the OFBiz project.
Thanks,
Raj

Yes, I agree. Entity Engine and Service Engine are two such
marvellous pieces of technologies. Entity engine can very well
compete with Java Persistence API (JPA) if it is separated from the
OFBiz runtime.

I have suggested that in the past. OFBiz has spawned some great
technology that, if modified to be stand-alone subsystems, could be
their own projects.

One thing I would like to see is to use the OSGi runtime for
framework. This will help modularising efforts. For example entity
engine, service engine, security etc. will be OSGi bundles running
on top of OSGi framework such Apache Karaf. Apache ServiceMix is
already using Karaf (http://karaf.apache.org). I did a prototype
and embedded the OFBiz in OSGi runtime
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ofbiz-osgi/) and it worked well.

Hi All,
This thread is about where you want the community to go with the
underlying
core components of OFBiz (aka the Framework).
The framework is the enables of all applications and business
processes and
users of the product. It is about security, and about a future
proof and
reliable platform for developing applications on.
What do feel is important? What should be removed from the
framework. what
should be included? What can be enhanced? And what not?
Please let all of us know what you think is important regarding the
framework so that we (the community) can take stock and draw up a
plan for
comming releases.
Regards,
Pierre
