Hi Michael:
I agree concerning the SaaS model.

hi Ruth,
I really like your idea, which is very similar with JIRA and Confluence's
plugin model. If users can use such a wizard to install/uninstall new
component on the fly (without restart), that would be more helpful to
promote ofbiz to next level in SaaS wise.

Hi David:
Thanks for the quick reply. Given your response - I'm wondering if a useful
addition to OFBiz would be a feature in webtools to manage OFBiz components.
I can envision a wizard driven interface that builds the basic directory
structure and config file(s) such as the ofbiz-component.xml file necessary
to get a new component operational? This could be extended to allow for the
(sort-of) dynamic removal of components. What do you think?

The best way to do this is just put it in the "hot-deploy" directory. When
OFBiz starts up it will look in that directory for sub-directories that have
a "ofbiz-component.xml" file which it will read to load resources for that
component.

P.S. It's good to see you around again Ruth!

Hello All:
I'm a big fan of OFBiz - nice job on the Apache site, BTW.
Congratulations - it is World class!
I've been using OFBiz off and on for a few years now for a number of
different projects. Recently, I had a requirement to add a custom component
to the application section of the framework. After a brief search of the
mailing lists (I have been away from the OFBiz collaborative tools for
sometime) and documentation I have the following question:
Is there an automatic way to add a component to the framework - or is
this still a manual process? I don't see any obvious webtool or other
mechanism for doing this through OFBiz.
