Users - OFBiz UI Widgets

[Vinay Agarwal]

Hello,

 

Is there an alternative to creating UI from the provided widgets or hand coding in ftl? I am thinking in terms of something like Echo2 (http://www.nextapp.com/platform/echo2/echo/) or Zk (http://zk1.sourceforge.net/). Can something like that be added for presentation layer without affecting other parts of OFBiz?

 

Regards,

Vinay Agarwal

Yes, any UI layer can be used along with the Service and Entity  
layers of OFBiz, though of course the web oriented UI layer has some  
nice things to make this more natural and convenient.

One good alternative is to use the existing OFBiz Control Servlet and  
implement a view handler for the control servlet for whatever kind of  
view generation tool you want to use. In fact, if you would like to  
share those view handler implementations I imagine someone sometime  
will get interested and use it and do other things with it as well.

The various view handler implementations that are used in each webapp  
are listed at the top of each controller.xml file and you can use  
those as examples (their full classpath locations are there).

Hello,

I am trying to create some seed data. I am using the existing seed and demo
data as guide. It works well except for situations where I can not find an
example of that kind of data. What's the correct process to find the entity
id for that data? (I do have the book but that isn't helping either.)

Right now I am looking for contact mechanism--WEB_ADDRESS entity but I can't
seem to find it.

Regards,
Vinay Agarwal
