Brian, Have you looked into the integration-oriented features of OFBiz? IMO SOAP is a mess and while there has been a SOAP to OFBiz Service tool for a long time, it has never been very good. However, the XML-RPC and JSON ones are pretty good, and along with general XML message passing (like

In addition to the other arguments to dispute this claim, have you considered that most committers earn a living using OFBiz and so they survive by listening to people from the outside. Based on that you might adjust your attack to say that committers don't listen to anyone from the outside

I couldn't disagree more. The OFBiz code base is a NIGHTMARE because of attempts at backward compatibility. This makes it incredibly difficult to customize because everything you look at has high levels of redundancy (causing all sorts of bugs and inconsistencies), and everything you touch

You can do a nested query using the EntityWhereClause condition, just mix it in with other conditions you need as part of your condition tree. It won't be part of the entity definition, but rather the code that does the query. -David On Dec 15, 2010, at 1:55 PM, Prashant Punekar wrote:

Yes, there are a few libraries that can combine PDFs (iText is another one), and there is another option too: combine the XSL:FO files before the FOP rendering to a single PDF file. To do that you'll have to create your own decorator that allows for multiple page sequences, and so on. I had
