Tom Burns commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------
Jacques,
If you use the latest code you can re-enable the webapps in the BIRT component.
This is because the new code is at the webapp level. BIRT was blocking at the
component level.
What is keeping you from finishing this issue? It's getting old.
Alert: a digression / rant follows
During my testing on the BIRT impact I found problems with the current BIRT
implementation. Below are two examples you can try in:
https://ec2-50-17-48-232.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8443/accounting/control/main.
That instance has latest help code with the BIRT webapps enabled.
Payment example
1. In accounting select Payments
2. Click Find
3. Click Payment Id 8004
4. Click Acctg Trans Entries PDF (a BIRT report)
5. Expect report of transaction
Actual - PDF Report outline with no data
Export with Invoice and Payment as PDF example
1. In Accounting select Organizational GL Settings
2. In Click the Accounting command button in the first record "Your Company
Name Here "
3. Click Accounting Transactions Entries
4. Click Find
5. Click Export with Invoice and Payment as PDF (a BIRT report)
6. Expect PDF report
Actual - A blank screen
I do not understand the logic behind moving BIRT to special purpose and leaving
it in this state. What is the next step? Remove the BIRT reports completely or
replace them with new screenfop versions?

> This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this
> item is being worked on.
> I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I
> needed/wanted something more expressive.
> Here is what I wound up using for development:
> Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content
> DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
> http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
> http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/
> DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
> http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
>
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip
> Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop
> TOC creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for
> viewing & testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html
> XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in
> Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
> Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through
> http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html
> Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)
> Attached are some screen shots of the results.
> Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much
> for defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.
> The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This
> will likely not be the final presentation format.
> Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a
> bug in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list.
> There are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to
> get bogged down with patches at this time.
