Re: Tips or a cookbook

[BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>]

the best way to learn widget is use a xml editor that will give you each 
valid element as you build the file.
you can also read the Schema file for the widget and the comments buried 
in them.
FTL is how to build files to have it rendered has html.
you marshal the data for the ftl through the grovy files.
if you use screen widgets you can fall the grooby from there.
otherwise name the groovy the same as the FTl file and it will be 
executed before the FTL is called.
there are plenty of examples in code.
expect about a year to learn all the in and outs of ofbiz, minimum.

I only deal with ofbiz as the modeling it started with for UI.
this is where a Rendering engine is created and defined in the 
controller, and ftl are used as the basis for the rendering.

That said, I also use FTL to prsent a UI front end that is just links to 
other pages. In that I still use a standard screen widget to call it.

I resist other ways to interact with other web systems.

BJ Freeman/All,

We are mainly into zkoss framework (and have integrated well with ofbiz),
but still I find a lot of pain while creating service wrappers in zk over
ofbiz services.
Would like to know your suggestions if we should go with Screen/Widget for
front end design or zkoss is better.
