Al,
As far as I know, the ${ofbiz.home} identifier is used in OFBiz documentation
to represent the home folder for OFBiz. I don't think that identifier was
actually used in code.
If you need access to the OFBiz home folder context variable, the correct
expression used to be ${env.ofbiz.home} - but that has been replaced with the
preferred ${sys:getProperty('ofbiz.home')} expression introduced with the
Uniform Expression Language. For more information, see:
http://api.ofbiz.org/org/ofbiz/base/util/string/UelFunctions.html
In the other issue - casting "000" to a zero integer - try taking another look
at your code. Now that OFBiz supports UEL, any expression that evaluates to an
integer will result in an integer. If you want the expression to be kept as a
String, you can either surround it with quotes, or convert it to a String with
the UEL function str:toString(Object).
