I guess they speak only about the eCommerce part

"The foundation of the CloudFree Platform is Equinox. Thus, everything
will be developed and deployed as OSGi bundles. Thus, it's valid to say that Java is our technology of choice for the platform." I've been exploring OSGi for a few months now and it seems like an ideal solution for OFBiz (and enterprise frameworks in general). It will be exciting to see what experienced OSGi developers come up with to make the interesting features easier to use in our context. -Joe On Oct 10, 2008, at 8:49 AM, Ravi Kumar wrote: > http://cloudfree.net/ > > http://www.eclipse.org:80/proposals/cloudfree/ > <http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/cloudfree/> > > news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.cloudfree > > > > In the news group, there is a reference to OFBiz under this thread: > "Why > another open source ecommerce platform?" > > > > -R > > > > > > > > > > > |

Interesting feedback Joe. I've had a look inside this and how it
works for OFBiz in general and am really interested to see how it may help out. At first glance, my response was the same as Adrian's, but these guys do have good experience, so it'll be nice to see how it ends up looking.

Actually, I sent my reply half jokingly.
There have been requests over the years for OFBiz to have the ability to start/stop/deploy/remove components dynamically - without restarting the server. The response has always been that there are class loader issues, component dependency issues, etc, etc - so it wouldn't work. It seems to me that OSGi has addressed those issues. (I'm not an expert on the subject, so I could be wrong.) It would be nice if the folks at CloudFree joined our community and worked toward getting our existing eCommerce/ERP platform running on OSGi, instead of creating a new one. -Adrian Tim Ruppert wrote: > Interesting feedback Joe.

Right, the cool features of OSGi for OFBiz would be things like giving
each component its own classloader, allowing each component to be loaded / unloaded, started or stopped without a reboot, and having 2 different versions of the same component loaded and running at the same time. Regarding the impressions of the OFBiz UI, I tend to agree. I certainly don't mean to downplay the efforts put into the UI, but compared to more modern, process-directed UIs that people have come to expect, even from basic PHP applications, OFBiz falls a little flat. I realize most pages are intended to be generic and data / service based, but compared to something like: http://www.highrisehq.com/tour http://drupal.org/node/109484 it may turn some people off. -Joe On Oct 10, 2008, at 11:12 AM, Tim Ruppert wrote: > Interesting feedback Joe.

I just read their proposal and one of their project goal not to provide
integration with third party ERP, CRM system. Excerpts from their proposal: "Outside the project's scope will be the development of vendor-specific integrations, such as integrations with specific ERP or CRM systems, as well as highly specialized services, such as a sophisticated product recommendation service. However, the CloudFree platform will provide frameworks and extension points to allow third parties building such integrations and specialized services. " May be we at ofbiz can look for integrating the OFBiz ERP and this will certainly increase the OFBiz visibility.

In reply to this post by Bruno Busco
Bruno, I think this functionality is close to what exists in OFBiz -
if I am not wrong. There are two screenlet in left bar of eCommerce app i.e. Last Category and Last Searches .... which remembers user visit to a category or search during a session. I did not look into the code but if the implementation of above two screenlets is not generic enough to support navigation panel as you mentioned, then we could come with any generic interface, class to support this functionality in overall application. - Vikas On Oct 11, 2008, at 12:43 PM, Bruno Busco wrote: > Giving a look to > http://www.compiere.com/products/product-demos/tour/web_ui_demo.htm > some suggestions can come to improve OFBiz UI. > > I would like to mention just one: > - Navigation panel > A lateral collapsible panel with recent viewed elements and (that's > great) > user selected favourite elements to have always at a click > > My two cents, > Bruno > > 2008/10/10 Joe Eckard <[hidden email]> > >> Right, the cool features of OSGi for OFBiz would be things like >> giving each >> component its own classloader, allowing each component to be loaded / >> unloaded, started or stopped without a reboot, and having 2 different >> versions of the same component loaded and running at the same time. >> >> Regarding the impressions of the OFBiz UI, I tend to agree.

Vikas,
I have seen the code. I am afraid this is quite far from being generic. Such a functionality for the backoffice should: - be able to list different kind of elements like orders, parties, products etc. - be able to persist and display the list again when the user log in again - offer the possibility to organize several preferred items to be always there -Bruno 2008/10/11 Vikas Mayur <[hidden email]> > Bruno, I think this functionality is close to what exists in OFBiz - if I > am not wrong. > There are two screenlet in left bar of eCommerce app i.e. Last Category and > Last Searches .... which remembers user visit to a category or search during > a session. > > I did not look into the code but if the implementation of above two > screenlets is not generic enough to support navigation panel as you > mentioned, then we could come with any generic interface, class to support > this functionality in overall application. > > > - Vikas > > > On Oct 11, 2008, at 12:43 PM, Bruno Busco wrote: > > Giving a look to >> http://www.compiere.com/products/product-demos/tour/web_ui_demo.htm >> some suggestions can come to improve OFBiz UI. >> >> I would like to mention just one: >> - Navigation panel >> A lateral collapsible panel with recent viewed elements and (that's great) >> user selected favourite elements to have always at a click >> >> My two cents, >> Bruno >> >> 2008/10/10 Joe Eckard <[hidden email]> >> >> Right, the cool features of OSGi for OFBiz would be things like giving >>> each >>> component its own classloader, allowing each component to be loaded / >>> unloaded, started or stopped without a reboot, and having 2 different >>> versions of the same component loaded and running at the same time. >>> >>> Regarding the impressions of the OFBiz UI, I tend to agree.

Ah - I see!
Seems to me similar to My page User Preference. Instead of a navigation panel we could also have a drop-down/select box with a text some thing like "My Recent" containing all recent visits of a particular user. This drop down could be to the left of Logout button or could be on main applications tabs, so that it is always seen/accessible to the user. - Vikas On Oct 11, 2008, at 3:10 PM, Bruno Busco wrote: > Vikas, > I have seen the code.

I would prefer to have this functionality implemented in a screen.
The screen could later be shown in several ways. For instance has a pop-up. Having the items separated by application is a good idea but, again, it should be general so independent from the applications. -Bruno 2008/10/11 Vikas Mayur <[hidden email]> > completing my last reply .... > > It could be some thing like > > Recents (drop-down text) > ---------- > Party > - view profile - > Order > - Order Detail Page - Sales Order #11111 - > Catalog > - Survey - > - Product Store - > > So recent navigation(s) grouped by application. > > - Vikas > > > > > On Oct 11, 2008, at 4:03 PM, Vikas Mayur wrote: > > Ah - I see! >> >> Seems to me similar to My page User Preference. >> Instead of a navigation panel we could also have a drop-down/select box >> with a text some thing like "My Recent" containing all recent visits of a >> particular user.

The navigation panel could also have a section user definable.
So the user can select items he wants to have always handy. Could be: - Navigation panel - Your favourite items: - Item 1 (a party) - Item 2 Your recent items: - Item 1 - Item 2 2008/10/11 Bruno Busco <[hidden email]> > I would prefer to have this functionality implemented in a screen. > The screen could later be shown in several ways.

Having it as a screen will let have it become a portlet.
I am working on a portlet/portal feature similar to the one JIRA has. This will let every application that has defined a screen to offer that screen as a portlet to be added to a portal. A portal is a screen that is configured by the user picking up several portlets available in the system. Every user will have the possibility to define several portals. This will let us have a MyPage completely independent on the applications. ...but this is a different subject I will post about as soon as I have something more stable... -Bruno 2008/10/11 Bruno Busco <[hidden email]> > The navigation panel could also have a section user definable. > So the user can select items he wants to have always handy. > > Could be: > > - Navigation panel - > > Your favourite items: > - Item 1 (a party) > - Item 2 > > Your recent items: > - Item 1 > - Item 2 > > 2008/10/11 Bruno Busco <[hidden email]> > >> I would prefer to have this functionality implemented in a screen. >> >> The screen could later be shown in several ways.
