e commerce  project.

I am following the below link to create a new project.

I have followed all the steps (may be i missed something ) but still its
not working.

when I enter the URL in browser i get this 404 error

_The requested resource (/practice/control/main/) is not available._

Please suggest

the tutorial your following is to create an application, not modify
ecommerce.
not sure there is one specific for ecommerce.
you need to work with the specialpurpose/ecommerce folder.

I found the problem, problem is some configuration param are missing so
i added them in web.xml.

My new project is running now.

But I have another question :)

Can I copy ecommerce folder to hotdeploy in order to create a exactly
same copy of ecommerce for a very new different project.

Please suggest

Thanks
Gaurav

Gaurav,
It is not good idea to have whole component copy, for this you need to just
include the ecommerce controller and change the mount point in
ofbiz-component will works same for you as copying the whole component.
Please refer the Practice Application to do so.
Doing this you will be able to separate your code from existing ecommerce
application.

if you are talking about the hot-deploy in ofbiz yes that is the
preferred way to do major mods to the code.
however if it is more look and feel then you can just create a new
visual theme, which is not located in the eccomerce component.

Thanks for quick replies.

I would like to describe more about my needs:

I need to create two different ecommerce application.

I used default ecommerce application and done some changes in UI successfully.

But now I need to create another ecommerce application.

As I have spent some time on doing UI changes I have some idea about it but I am still not sure about the changes that needs be done to create a new ecommerce application (exactly similar to the default ecommerce but different databases). So that both the ecommerce application will be different from each other.

I need a way to create another ecommerce application so that I will be able to add product from admin area and will be able to change the UI.

Please suggest me the possible way to achieve this.

TIA

Regards
Gaurav

you only need a seperate database if the person using it is not the same
 company that has the other website. if you do have seperate company
then you should use the multitenacy feature that was just develope by David.
either way you use the ecomnclone as an example of how to create a
separate website.
it uses the same controller and webapp, but you can add changed files to
 then eclone webapp or just make it have it own product store.

Thanks Freeman.

I am a novice it will be great you can give me some documentation link if you dont mind so that I can read the process on which you are guiding me.

TIA

Ruth Hoffman has a book on ecommerce.
I have not read it so not sure what it supports.
you can find her on the mailing list.
The source code is the best documentation, other than that.
