Hi devs,
James yong submitted a patch (simple enough to be quickly read) proposing
to introduce Wicket as an OFBiz framework component. I's be interested to
read your comments about pros and cons
Note the urlrewrite stuff...
One cons I see is maintenance... (We will see if James is still around, he
created the Jira issue in August)
I tried that patch, it is working and demonstrates an interesting way to use
wicket as ofbiz frontend, but it is kind of a hack.
I don't think it would be useful at its current stage to the community.
For now we use jira for this kind of POC code, but I think there the code
dies after some time.
May be it is a good idea to have a branch in svn for stuff like this: code
that is not complete enough to go in example component or special purpose
folder but still valuable as POC or starting point. GWT patch is another
similar candidate for it, but it is currently part of googlecode.
I'd agree, but then we need (at least) someone to take care of that branch...
Maybe it's easier to have them in GitHub, GoogleCode, etc. as they can be handled from outside. And create a mechanism to relate
them from there, until we finally decide to integrate them. It could be as simple as an information that it exists there, at least
to begin. But from my experience, therey really need to raise some interest else they will never be integrated in OFBiz. So that 1st
phase is more important, to qualify OFBiz devs interest. Some are using other ways (Opentaps, Neogia, Langhua, etc.)
