Whats next after tutorials in www.opensourcestrategies.com

[ian tabangay]

Hi.
I wanted to learn how to create my own components on ofbiz. I'm done with
the tutorials in www.opensourcestrategies.com. It gave me a good view of how
to develop on ofbiz but it was too basic. Any suggestions what to do next?
Thanks.

Hi,

I'd suggest to use as a template the framework/example component.

Yeah you can read all the docs you want to, but nothing beats browsing the
code of already existing ofbiz apps (e.g PartyManager) to see how real world
enterprise apps are built using ofbiz :-). The docs points out the right
direction but it's the code that gets you walking.

Hi Ian,

I also found that in addition to reading the code for ecommerce,
partymgr, etc, it was helpful to run in debug mode and attach the
debugger to step through code, especially for instance to understand the
login process, eca invocation, etc, especially once you strt ixing in
your own code.

Just use "ant run-debug" and then set your debugger for a remote session
to port 8091.

You'll have to step over a lot of boring stuff (log4j), but still a
useful tactic.

regards,
-Ryan
