Rajshekar,
                You will need to add your application in the component loader. The file
component-load.xml is located under ofbiz/framework/base/config folder.
                You will need to add this line
                <load-component component-location="${ofbiz.home}/../myApp"/>.

                myApp - is the parent folder name of your application.

                Incase, if you have more than one application under that folder, then you
will need to add this line instead -

                <load-components parent-directory="${ofbiz.home}/../myApp"/>


<component-loader xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.ofbiz.org/dtds/component-l
oader.xsd">
    <load-components parent-directory="${ofbiz.home}/framework"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="${ofbiz.home}/applications"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="${ofbiz.home}/specialized"/>
    <load-components parent-directory="${ofbiz.home}/hot-deploy"/>
    <load-component component-location="${ofbiz.home}/../myApp"/>

</component-loader>

                These are the files that need to configured for your application inside
your application.
                1.> ofbiz-component.xml or component-load.xml depending if you have one or
more than one applications to load.
                2.> web.xml - in WEB-INF folder
                3.> controller.xml - in WEB-INF folder
                4.> entitydefs - Make sure to include all your entity definitions in
ofbiz-component.xml
                5.> servicedefs - Make sure to include all your service definitions in
ofbiz-component.xml

                OFBiz side configuration required -
                1.> component-load.xml - To include your application in OFBiz.
                2.> entityengine.xml - To configure your database.


                Hope this helps.

Since  my application is outside the ofbiz folder, how can i give path in component-load.xml, I can't access $ofbiz.home. Is it possible to give hard code path like "/home/rajshekhar/ws-eclipse/puf/develop"
in component-load.xml ?

make a symbolic link in the hot-deploy directory to your application.
Then you can access it if it was located there.....

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a subscription site, it involves first creating a free
trial, this I guess is something along the lines of a free product. But
of course I still need to collect payment details so that we can
continue at the end of the trial.

Has anyone done this? What is the best way with the new Subscription
stuff?

To do this sort of thing you may need to do a custom checkout process  
or something... On a lower level what you need to do is create a  
Subscription record to represent the initial free trial access, and  
then probably a ShoppingList and related records so that an order is  
placed for them later to extend the subscription.

There could be other ways of getting to this than just doing a custom  
checkout process, but I know of one company that is working on doing  
this level stuff with a custom checkout process.

David,

Well, that's pretty much what I'm working on, I was just struck with
some angst this morning that perhaps I'd missed something new!

Thanks for the reassurance! :-)
