I am evaluating several technologies for a project I'm about to start on and ofbiz caught my eye. I am a little disappointed at how dated some of the documentation for the project is and some of the steps in the tutorial are incomplete or don't work. But I don't want to judge this book by it's cover, I'd like to ask people who are actually using it what they think and if they're happy with it. So, are you happy with ofbiz? Has it been easy to adapt to your business needs? What has been the biggest frustration/limitation you've faced with your ofbiz application?
Ofbiz seems like a great starting point for what I want to do, but there is one requirement I have that may eliminate ofbiz as an option. I need to be able to support multiple customers from a single instance of the application and some of their data needs to be sandboxed. I've looked at the multi-tenancy support of ofbiz but I do not want to manage the potentially hundreds of additional databases this approach would require. Essentially I want to associate core pieces of information (people, orders, etc) with a single client. In essence I want to add a clientID to each piece of data and filter such that a logged in user would only be able to interact with data for their clientID. Would this be an easy, moderately difficult, or impossible feature to implement in ofbiz? I am also unfamiliar with what a production deployment of ofbiz might look like. I am most familiar with deploying applications to tomcat but it seems ofbiz has an embedded tomcat and must be invoked from the ofbiz.jar. I would appreciate hearing some examples of how deployments, upgrades, etc. are managed. I am sure I will have more questions as (if) this conversation progresses and I look forward to learning from the group.
