I am always amazed at how you spin things david.

Actually, in spite of what BJ says there is nothing that makes the release
branches more bug-free than the trunk. Well, nothing unless people work to make
it so. Release branches just change less so it is easier to fix bugs without
having to deal with as much of a possibility of new bugs being introduced.
In other words the release branches are only as good as those who use them make
them to be. Unfortunately the release branches don't tend to attract as many
contributors as the trunk, so the irony is that in many cases the trunk is more
bug-free than the release branches.
In other words, stable in no way means the same thing as bug-free, and the irony is that
in fact too much "stability" keeps bugs from being fixed.

Thanks BJ. I hope it was just an oversight. 9.04 seems pretty rock
solid otherwise. Even so, starting a local repository is probably the
way to go, because I'll surely be tweaking it as I learn more.

remember this is not a paid organization but volunteers.
and things do slip by.
the PMC have instituted a few months ago the status patch ready to help
inform committers so such slip ups are found
Also any Branch release is for the best part bug free, but that depends on
the testing done by users and submittion jiras. In all fairness there have
been a lot of bug fixes on 9.04. even so the testing is not the level you
have been use to in a Paid Corporation, where you have a room full of
machines with different configuration and a team of paid testers to put it
though it paces.
Ofbiz, at best, is a semi complete application that has room for improvement
and completion of features.
to Start using Ofbiz as a complete application like say Word or Open office
is a mistake.

I'm testing my new store, when I decide to login as a user and cancel
an order (which is suppose to work). The user sees this:
The Following Errors Occurred:
Error calling event: org.ofbiz.webapp.event.EventHandlerException:
Service invocation error (Could not commit transaction for service
[cancelOrderItem] call: Roll back error, could not commit transaction,
was rolled back instead because of: Error in simple-method [Auto

[file:/opt/ofbiz-9.04/applications/order/script/org/ofbiz/order/order/OrderServices.xml#recreateOrderAdjustments]]:
; [Security Error To Run Auto Create Order Adjustments])
Odd. Looking further, I discover that a bug was submitted back in
OCT09, priority MAJOR, with a patch, and verified:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3075
Why wasn't it fixed in 9.04 SVN? I'm sorry, but as a brand new user,
the reason I chose 9.04 is because it is suppose to be the golden
build, patched as required, rock solid. All new users are directed to
9.04.
The bug actually exposes my INTERNAL paths!
So I have to ask. What else????
