Re: Integrate Ofbiz into Frontend-App

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Wrap around the core services by integrating something like RESTEasy as a
separate hot-deploy component, use swagger with codegen to generate stubs
using api specs file swagger.json.

Re: How to configure multiple sellers for the same product

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Assign the supplier to the virtual product as you'd need that for the
invoicing/shipping workflow. Virtual product is just like a regular product
with isVirtual flag set to Y, it still has SupplierProduct entity
relationship so you need to associate your supplierPartyId with variant
product as well. I didn't use the SupplierProductFeature table for any kind
of association.

Re: How to configure multiple sellers for the same product

[Mandeep Sidhu]

I've a full fledged seller marketplace implemented over this :)
https://seller.simbacart.com/sellercentral/c/home I am pretty sure it
works, you'd have to extend SupplierProduct to track inventory though.
For the pricing you need to configure appropriate SECAs to do auto
adjustments, if you are looking at 100% OOTB solution I am afraid that's
not the luxury you have here.

Re: How to configure multiple sellers for the same product

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Use SupplierProduct tab instead, add each supplier with their own SKU and
pricing. Also, make sure the product's inventory type is set to
Dropshipment only, you would have to build couple of new ECAs to take care
of billing and email notifications. Additionally, some modification is
required to the Dropshipment workflow if you want to support split shipment.

Re: Change URL

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Change the port in url.properties to 80 and set mount point of your
ecommerce component (ofbiz-component.xml) to "/".
port.http=80

For production deployments it's always better to use virtual hosts
configured in your apache HTTPD config file.

Re: MRP requirements recieving Items

There's a store level setting that states "One Inventory Facility", see
what value is set there, if you've only one facility set it to Y, things
get a lot easier that way.

Re: Generic xml import & export functionality

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Entity Import and Entity Import Dir are two great tools in Ofbiz to achieve
that.

*Entity Import: *To import XML text
http://demo-stable-ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/EntityImport
*Entity Import Dir: *To import entity XML files loaded with data kept in a
directory relative to Ofbiz home directory
http://demo-stable-ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/EntityImportDir

Seed writer utilities are also available in the base framework to generate
Seed XML using GenericValue or Maps.

I'd like to take up the first two issues to begin with. Unfortunately I am
little confused with the documentation you shared earlier as to how I can
become a committer.

Would a patch work in this case? Or I need to be on the committers list?

Let me know.

Re: General login page for all users?

[Mandeep Sidhu]

For all the backend applications the single sign on file is located at the
below location.
framework/common/webcommon/login.ftl

If you want to include this sign on in any of your apps all you need to do
is include the below controller entry in your apps *controller.xml *file
which is mostly located under the WEB-INF directory for e.g.
applications/marketing/webapp/marketing/WEB-INF/controller.xml

#Entry for single sign on in any controller.xml

Re: General login page for all users?

[Mandeep Sidhu]

There are two different login flows actually. Single sign on is for all
back end applications (AR/AP/Accounting/Catalog etc.). For the front end
store the login is handled in the ecommerce app located at
speciapurpose/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/login.ftl

To change the front end store's look and feel you'll have to change files
under ecommerce app.

Re: General login page for all users?

[Mandeep Sidhu]

I think single sign on is well implemented in ofbiz. If you got a
hot-deploy app, don't add an entry to handle login. The controller will
automatically handle it.

If you want to customize the login page to give a look and feel of your
org, which I did as well you need to modify the file at the following
location.
framework\common\webcommon\login.ftl

All the users will be presented with this login page then.

Hope this helps.

Re: Axis webservice in ofbiz

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Inside any service*.xml file use the attribute *export *with value as *true
*to expose the given service as a SOAP based service. Default value for
this attribute is *false*. Sample entry below;

*before export="true"*

*after export="true"*
*

All exposed services are listed at the below url
https:///webtools/control/ServiceList

Re: A task management component based on OFBiz and ExtJS Sencha

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Perhaps because Dojo and ExtJS provide very rich UI components and are
recommended for one page applications.
Their UI widgets save a lot of time writing your own components to get
things done. I am a big fan of jQuery myself but for fast and quick single
page applications I prefer Dojo or ExtJs.

Dojo has a relatively easy licence, perhaps that's one reason for choosing
it.

Just my two cents.

Mandeep

This is really cool!!! Great job.
I am also preparing a customized dojo library to ajaxify ofbiz
applications. Single page applications are more appealing to me :).

Re: Subscribing for beginning

[Mandeep Sidhu]

It should be in "/practice/widget" not in
"/practice/webapp/practice/widget/"
Fix the path and restart ofbiz.

It should work just fine now.

Re: Subscribing for beginning

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Okay, first things first. To ensure your component is registered by the
application navigate to the following link on your machine.
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/ViewComponents

That should list down all the components registered by ofbiz. Try finding
your component "Practice", ideally it should be there at the end of it.

If you see the component there then look into the
/practice/webapp/practice/widget/PracticeScreens.xml file and ensure you
have a screen named "main" defined there.

If you don't see the component, that means your component configuration has
issues.

Can you share the code in your application's Controller.xml?

Looks more like a mapping issue to me.

Re: Pack Multiple orders without creating reservation

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Open the order in order manager, on the widgets on the right hand side
under "Actions" you can find this button.

A typical order url should look something like this.
xyz.com/ordermgr/control/orderview?orderId=

Re: OFBiz Tutorial - A Beginners Development Guide(Part 1)

[Mandeep Sidhu]

I believe it's a unix box, navigate to the directory where your web.xml
file resides and do a "ls -l" and then "pwd" and share the logs here.

Let's see if that helps.

I am not so sure about that, perhaps you should read more about tomcat's

I believe you can do so by passing the jsessionid as one of the query

Re: International Shipping

[Mandeep Sidhu]

You might want to check out method getShipEstimate in the following class
org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.shipping.ShippingEvents

During debugging I found this is used to calculate any shipping related
estimates and adds to the cart.getSubTotal (cart.getGrandTotal eventually).

Re: Problem with default currency USD - INR

[Mandeep Sidhu]

I think I too ran into the same issue. Here's something that might fix it,
if you have already completed the steps listed below, You need to update
the baseCurrencyUomId column entry for your company in the table
PartyAcctgPreference, set it to INR and that should do the trick.

Letme know if that works for you.

Re: How to get response in json for autocomplete

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Invoke a java event instead of a service, set the view to none and render
the response as json, you can break down regular java objects into json
using codeheues jackson library.

Re: out of PermGen Space

when I encountered the PermSpace issue, I found out (with the help of Mike

try select * from job_sandbox; from your database to see the number of

Re: Removing port number from the url in production setup

[Mandeep Sidhu]

So what exact change will remove the 8080 and 8443 from the url that's
generated when I user <@ofbizurl> tag to render a url??
I mean, instead of
https://www.example.com:8443/control/newcustomer

I'd require something like
https://www.example.com/control/newcustomer

how can I achieve that in production.

Re: Removing port number from the url in production setup

[Mandeep Sidhu]

One quick q here Mike, the configuration you shared with me worked fine.

However I still see the port 8443 and 8080 on my website, this happens when
the user clicks on any link which is generated using <@ofbizurl>.

Any idea, as to how do I get rid of these port numbers appended to the url.

I tried removing entry 8443 from ofbiz-containers.xml and url.properties
file, but after doing that, the webtools link on https stopped working.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Mandeep Sidhu

Removing port number from the url in production setup

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Hi,

I am developing an ecommerce store using ofbiz, can be found here

http://www.simbacart.com


The production system is a Unix box, running apache server and then Ofbiz
as a service.

My question to you is, how to map the 80 port of prod server with the
ofbiz's 8080 port, also about the mapping of 8443 port.

I was able to map the 80 port by making an entry into the IP table of the
Unix system thereby forwarding requests from 80 port to 8080.

http://www.simbacart.com

Above mentioned is the store in conversation.

Now, here's the problem, till 80 port it is fine, but when it comes to 8443
this is the kind of URL I get.

https://www.simbacart.com:8443/control/newcustomer;jsessionid=E34540BB92549853EAC60AC175ACECE6.jvm1

Notice the 8443 in the url.
This url came when I used the tag <@ofbizUrl>/newcustomer.

Can you please help me out in setting up this, I'd really appreciate it.

Re: Custom product detail screen configuration

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Thanks all for your valuable inputs!!!
Here's how I achieved what I was looking for.

On product page under webtools, I went into content tab and under the
"Override Simple Fields" section simply entered my detail screen name.

*Detail Screen : component://ecommerce/widget/MyScreens.xml#myproductDetail

*which did the trick :).

Page renders perfectly as per the requirements.*

Re: Custom product detail screen configuration

[Mandeep Sidhu]

hmm, but that'll be last resort for me.

I was wondering if like a custom category detail page, I can have custom
product detail page screen defined while configuring my product via the
catalog manager.

can you guide me through the changes required to incorporate this, I just
want to make the product detail page dynamic.

Re: Using GZip compression for js files in Ecommerce module

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Jacques,

I analyzed the URL being accessed by my application, I am trying to consume
a version of jquery from google's CDN.
URL: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

the size I am getting back is around 72KB, which is not gzipped, although
Ofbiz is sending gzip as part of content-encoding. Here's what OFbiz is
requesting

VaryAccept-EncodingContent-EncodinggzipContent-Typetext/javascript;
charset=UTF-8Last-ModifiedMon, 02 Apr 2012 18:24:28 GMTDateWed, 04 Apr 2012
16:56:11 GMTExpiresThu, 04 Apr 2013 16:56:11 GMTX-Content-Type-Options
nosniffServerGFE/2.0Content-Length24605X-XSS-Protection1; mode=block
Cache-Controlpublic, max-age=31536000Age328756
One thing to note here is that it is not sending the user-agent header, and
surprisingly google's CDN doesn't understand this and expects an
established user-agent header,
I used some tool to hit the same url and sent user-agent explicitly,
surprisingly the received file size was 25Kb.

do you've any idea as to why OFBIZ(tomcat server ) is omitting the
user-agent header.

Regards,
Mandeep

Re: Using GZip compression for js files in Ecommerce module

[Mandeep Sidhu]

created Jira 4792
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4792
but still this will only compress the files Jacques, what if the
application is consuming external jss/css files, if the remote server has
the capability to server GZip encoded content to the requesting client,
we'd need to send the GZip encoding option in the http header for which I
believe Ofbiz needs to be touched.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Using GZip compression for js files in Ecommerce module

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of external
javascript's being fetched by making use of GZip encoding.

The feeding server does understand and responds to GZip encoding, however
Ofbiz is not requesting the content in GZip format.

Can anybody please guide me as to what all modifications I need to make so
that Ofbiz will include the GZip encoding option in the http header while
requesting the external javascript file ?

Mandeeep Sidhu
