You might find the old conference videos interesting. There is a lot
of history and background presented there, as well as what was going
on around the time of those conferences.

Hi Ashish, Divesh,
I would say that some of OFBiz inspiration is at
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Related+Books
Also we moved from
* Jetty to Tomcat (OFBiz version 3)
* Minerva to DBCP (just after OFBiz version 4)
* JOTM to Geronimo Transaction manager (OFBiz version 4)
Also ECAs replaced previous attempts on workflow engines (notably
Shark which was actually an enhancement of the 1st OFBiz workflow)
It's all from the top of my head right now
HTH

Subject: Re: Designs behind OFBiz
Hello Divesh,
This is very good post and I would wait to see comment from other
senior members involved in this project.
Here are few points that I was thinking since last few days and
putting here for your reference.
-- Initially the project was following the design pattern provided
in the book "Core J2ee Patterns" http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/.
-- As the time passed away community discussed so many things on
the mailing list and then did vote to move further with the best
things in favor of the project. Here are few things that I remembered.
--- Initially OFBiz was distributed with jsp files for presentation
purpose and then later we have switched to FTL's.
--- JPublish was used initially - I am not able to memorize too
much details on this project. In past there were no / less activity
in this project so community decided to move something better and
stable in this area. Now the project is moved to GoogleCode - Please
refer: http://code.google.com/p/jpublish/
--- Move from Beanshell to Groovy. The activity on Beanshell
project was almost nil so community decided to move to the alternate
framework for scripting purpose. There were a long discussion on
mailing list to choose which one from available alternates i.e
Groovy & Ruby scripting language. Then due to so many similarity in
Groovy code with Java Syntax community moved along with Groovy
project. AFAIK beanshell was one man army open source project - I
can be wrong on this point but again this is in my memory.
--- Another interesting document: http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/JAw
HTH!

Hello all,
I would like to know that, Was there any Blue Print, or Design
developed when OFBiz was imagined or started. Do we have any
documentation, Where when one get information like, What Design
patterns were kept in mind when OFBiz was started.
How OFBiz evolved or What was initial thought behind this and as
time went by , How these designs changed?
Thanks
