Stuck OFBiz Tutorial - A Beginners Development Guide for 16.11

[Shane F. MacIntyre]

I’ve been slowly going through the guide found here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide+for+16.11

But I have gotten stuck. Somewhere around the “Customizing User Interface”, I’ve stumbled, and can’t trace where the problem is.

When I try the demo by adding some data, I receive the following error:

org.apache.ofbiz.webapp.control.RequestHandlerException: Unknown request [createOfbizDemoEvent​createOfbizDemo]; this request does not exist or cannot be called directly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hi Shane,
Welcome to the community!

On cursory view, I suspect there might be typo at following line in your
code

<form id="createOfbizDemoEvent" method="post"
action="<@ofbizUrl>createOfbizDemoEvent</@ofbizUrl>">

Instead of having createOfbizDemoEvent, it might be
createOfbizDemoEventcreateOfbizDemo in your code.

If this is not case, please share the your code snippet, so we can better
help.

Hi Shane,
Glad it works for you.

Indeed, trying yourself is the best way to learn.

I would suggest you subscribe the OFBiz mailing list [1].
A lot of things happen over these lists, you can learn many things from
there.
