Framework Independence
Hello all,
In preparation for doing a release candidate, and later a real
release (soon after incubator graduation), I did a bit of work to
make it possible to run the framework without the applications
directory.
This included a new little feature in the entity engine to be able to
extend entities defined elsewhere using the "extend-entity" tag.
There were also a few things moved from applications to framework,
and from framework to applications. This included some important
things to note that have changed:
- control servlet request events (mainly checkLogin, login, logout,
checkExternalLoginKey, etc) are now in:
org.ofbiz.webapp.control.LoginWorker
- the LoginEventListener (referred to in web.xml files) is now here:
org.ofbiz.webapp.control.LoginEventListener
These have been updated in all of the files in OFBiz so everything
should be working fine... If you run into anything please let me know
and I'll look into it right away!
For convenience (and since doing search and replace it's not really
any extra work... ;) ) attached are some patches for the financials
and crmsfa modules.
This gets us pretty close to ready to do a complete release and a
separate framework-only release. For those who want to just drop
their app into the framework, you can now run just about everything
even if the applications directory is not there, with exception of a
few pages like the entity performance tests in WebTools that refer to
the Party and Product entities and need to be changed, probably to
point to the Example and such entities.

Thanks for clarifying this. Neat.

Actually, with the component loader the components can be anywhere.
They don't have to be under the ofbiz directory. The home directory
will always be "ofbiz.home", that is the name of the Java env var
that is populated with it.

Ok so you meant in any folder under the Ofbiz_home folder. or is that
now going to be ApacheOfizFrameWork_Home.

I think I see what you mean... When I wrote "drop their apps into the
framework" I was not referring to the framework directory, but rather
to the Apache OFBiz Framework, which is everything in SVN except the
"applications" directory.
So no, this doesn't mean any change in patterns of where to put your
add-in components. They can go in the hot-deploy directory, or
anywhere you want to put them and then refer to them from the
component-load.xml.

You statement about dropping applications in the Framework.
Does that mean we will put the applications in the framework, like use
to be when the applications and framework were all in the components
folder, way back?

clarification:
[For those who want to just drop their app into the framework, you can
now run just about everything even if the applications directory is not

So are you saying that the application, as such will be now be put into
the framework folder, like they use to be in the components folder.

Yeah, that's an annoying part about these new lists... though I guess
it is good to have smaller messages going out, but we could do better
if just limited the attachment size instead of having to wiki an
attachment that is 1KB.

I'm in the Dallas area so it's a short jaunt down to

I would be interested in much of the other Apache

talk reminds me of Professor Frink and flux capacitors

I'd certainly be interested in getting together the

It's possible. We are getting pretty close, but still have one iCLA
coming in (sending has been confirmed) and a few other little things
to do. Once the RC is done it will take some time for people on this
list to review it (especially the committers) and then for the

I don't know. I haven't heard back on my proposal so I'm pretty sure
I won't be presenting there. Unless there are going to be more people
attending and such, I'm not even going to try and get a booth or
anything, given that I was alone manning the OFBiz booth at OSCON. It
was nice to meet people and such, but the overhead was a little high
to repeat.
Does anyone have plans to go, or present or other such?
