hot-deploy vs applications

[ryan-116]

Is there a checklist of what to look out for when moving an app from dev
mode in hot-deploy to ${ofbiz}/applications/ ?

regards,
-Ryan

[Tim Ruppert]

There's no reason to ever move anything from hot-deploy to  
applications unless it's to become part of the framework application  
suite.

Cheers,
Tim

Does this imply that the code in the ofb 'application' subdir is part of the framework and the 'hot-deploy' subdir is for custom user applications that use ofb as a framework?
Thanks

Not exactly, framework and applications are different things.
Framework is the core system of the framework. It can be seen as the technical part
Applications are the basic applications to demonstratre framework power and to implement a basic
ERP/CRM/E-Business/E-Commerce/SCM/MRP/CMMS/EAM/etc.  They can be seen as the core business part. They are used by customers
applications.
Specialpurpose are not fundamental applications which are using basic applications. For instance the POS use order, accounting,
parties, etc.
Hot-deploy is a mean to plug new applications by reusing existing ones and preventing to duplicate code. You can put there any code
which will replace same existing code or/and you can add you own code (not only java).

Not only you can use specialpurpose too. Hot-deploy applications are loaded last (after specialpurpose) so they override all
existing same code. Specialpurpose and hot-deploy have different goals.

Thanks for the description. If I were to develop a custom application based on ofbiz for a customer, what would be the criteria to decide on placing it into the 'special purpose' subdir or the 'hot deploy' subdir.
Thanks

If you are writing something totaly brand new, then go for specialpurpose. I you can reuse some parts then go for hot-deploy,
duplicate directories structures of modules you want to enhance/adapt and write only the code parts you want to change, or add new
code in this directories structure.

The hot deploy folder is intended to be used for custom applications.

The special purpose folder is for task-specific applications that are
built upon the existing code base and are part of the trunk. A custom
application could be placed here if the intention is to contribute it
back to the trunk.

*Hello All,
Help me on this issue.
Provide any easy to use tool to merge contents from two Contacts in system.
Compare values of respective attributes from two contacts. If respective
fields have same values in two contacts then do a simple automatic merge.
For the fields that differ in values, Show data of two contacts in Tabular
two section form. First contact is shown in Editable fields and second one
places in location such that its easy to compare. Use should be able to move
values from Second contact to first in a single click.*

Please suggest me on this issue. what exactly have to do?
What i understood is that If the contents are same then merge them and show.

If the contents are differnet then show them and move them by just 1 click.
 Am i rght?
what is the meaning of last line of the paragraph?

  I also have to create a toll fort that, but what kind of name i should
give to the tool? Could be MergeContents?

Thanks & Regards
