start with
specialpurpose\ecommerce\webapp\ecommerce\index.jsp and work your way
through the code.

if your using ofbiz for your storage note that there is only one
productID for a product for all stores in a single database.
Now if you using the multitenant, then you would have to go through the
products for each database and put them in the defautl delegator
database. Since there may be conflicts with ProductID you would have to
use the internal name for the ProductID of each database.
it sound from what you are going for that multitenant is the best way to go.
at this point I suggest you expand on what you are doing to get the best
advice.

Hi Vivek:
Sorry, I'm not prepared to detail how to build a new OFBiz application.
There is just too much to cover in a forum of this nature.
BJ's hints are a great starting point.
Best of luck,
Ruth

you can reuse a lot of the widgets of the ecommerce site to accomplish this.
Just have to modify them.
specialpurpose\ecommerce\widget
you can add a widget that show the company as a party and the URL as a
contact mech type electronic address. Then include that in the
specialpurpose\ecommerce\webapp\ecommerce\catalog\productdetail.ftl

Hi Ruth,
I am sorry for not making it clear...Let me do it now.
Our company intends to develop Ofbiz application for different shopping
firms. Also we intend to develop a portal site where we decides to list the
products from these different firms and add features like 'compare prices'
and ' find similar products'. So as the data is coming from different sites,
we need to save the details of each product so that while selecting it we
can go to its corresponding site and buy it.I hope it is clear.
Thanks
Vivek

Hi Vivek:
By "store", do you mean the product store? Do you have multiple product
stores per your instance of OFBiz?
If so, then you will need to study the existing data model a bit. Most
product details are found within the Product entity - but not all. There
are many associated entities used to provide more information about
products.
Most product store details are kept within the ProductStore
entity...beyond that, you will need to figure out what product details
you are going to compare. That will dictate where you go in the database
to find information.
Associating products with product stores is usually done using catalogs.
Hope that is clear.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi Ruth,
I am writing my own screens and control flow...My aim is to build
a shopping portal with products from different stores and compare the
features of them...So i need to get the products from the corresponding
store database and list it along with the details. When a particular product
is selected, the control should go to the store of that product. So i need
to store the details of every product listed..
I hope it is clear..Please help me on this as i am new to the ofbiz
framework...
Thanks
Vivek

Hi vivtops86:
Are you using OFBiz out-of-the-box or did you write some of your own
screens to do this?

Ruth
