Dev - Testing the new OFBiz transaction manager

[Jacopo Cappellato]

Hi all,

I'm running my development instance of OFBiz with the new transaction
manager, from Geronimo/Jencks, in place of the default JOTM since David
Jones committed his work: I had no problem until now with it.

I think it would be really great if nore developers could help testing
it. Here are David's notes about switching it on:

"To enable it (it's not enabled by default yet), just uncomment line 35
in entityengine.xml:

     <!-- <transaction-factory
class="org.ofbiz.geronimo.GeronimoTransactionFactory"/> -->

and comment out lines 39-42 that have the current JNDI tx factory setup."

What are the next steps?
How are we going to manage the dependencies with Minerva connection pool?

I think we are really near to resolve all the license issues now and it
would be really great to move the code base to the Apache svn server.
Then, we could improve/expand this stuff if needed; for example, I know
that Andy is working on an alternative way of doing things.

Jacopo

That's great!
Is it working fine?

No problem for the moment. I will let you know about any problem...

Considering we have a widget rendering engine, with error codes, I don't
see a problem with having a page that allows editing the Widget XML on
one side and showing the page on the other.

the xml editor can also be implemented from the libraries already in ofbiz

I am working on this a little at a time, staying in the confines of then
content module.

Any thoughts or if someone is working on this, I would like to add some
energy to it.

BJ,
Is there a reason to limit it to content module? I would like it for general
OFBiz use.

In order to remove Minerva we'll need a new JTA aware connection  
pool. And to be honest, they are pretty much all dead projects. This  
should be part of using the Geronimo TX since they pretty much work  
hand in hand.

Yes, I agree. When the Geronimo tx manager is used we should also use the Geronimo connection pool. I actually started working on that yesterday, but the jencks.org site was down yesterday and this morning. I had downloaded the release but not the source code, which is what I need to see how they are using the connection pool, just like I did with the TX manager. Hopefully that will work out though...

Technically we could continue to use Minerva and just put the jar file in the Apache SVN server and leave the source in the Undersun one, but I'd rather use the Geronimo one embedded for that too.

Of course, this is all for running the embedded stuff in OFBiz and wouldn't have anything to do with running OFBiz in another container, like Weblogic or Geronimo (and it would be nice to add deployment script and config file template for in the appserver component).
