Is it ok to Parameterize location of Second level decorators like CommonFacilityDecorator

[Anil Patel <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
Is it Ok to parameterize location of decorators that are derived from
main-decorator. By doing this special purpose applications will be able
customize tab bar and few others things without having to copy bunch of
screen code form Ofbiz main components.

If this seems to be acceptable Idea and then I'll like to submit patch to
parameterize screens in accounting, product/catalog, facility.

Regards
Anil Patel

Thank you for your clarification Anil. I can see I was confused. I thought this 
was a part of the portable device UI movement.

I like your proposal. We have created role-oriented UIs here by copying and 
modifying existing files. Your approach would be simpler. I look forward to 
seeing your contribution.

Adrian,
This may not be help for applications for portable devices, At times we need
applications that use screens from one or more ofbiz core components and
assemble a cohesive tool set for certain role in company. E.g I am doing a
asset maintenance application that needs Fixed Asset screens from
Accounting, Screens for defining and managing Products like for Parts and
Products that define the spec of Fixed Asset. There are few screens needed
from Facility Manager for Inventory management, some from Party for managing
Employees, Vendor, Manufacturer etc.
Once this app reaches certain usable level I'll contribute the code to
community for review. Hope I answered your question.

Regards
Anil Patel

I'd like to see what others have to say about this subject.

The question is: How can we accomodate OFBiz running on portable devices without 
re-writing the entire UI? Is that even possible?

How does "parameterizing the location of decorators" help this effort? I'm not 
clear on how such a thing would be implemented.

I don't see any problem with it.
