how to disable an application from ofbiz webtools

[Mathius Allo]

Hi BJ,
   
  I was trying to figure out on how the Party Manager application is working. My ultimate goal is as below:
   
  1. I want to create a separate access control module (should be a subset of Party Manager module). I found that Party Manager is an overkill to our requirement which is quite simple. I should be able to create a group/role, add permission to the group, assign user to a group. This access control module is only to be used by our own application.
   
  2. However, I want to ensure that the user created through our own access control module should conform to the OFBiz. i.e. the user can be used to access existing OFBiz application (if given correct permission through Party Manager application)
   
  Therefore, I was thinking of making use of the existing code (Party Manager Application) and just create a new GUI for the simple access control mechanism.
   
  Does this approach make sense? Are there any issues from this approach?
 
Thanks in advanced.

going to the https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/createUserLogin
requires passing the partyid.
Can you tell me what you are attempting to accomplish.

that is fine, however you need to understand how ofbiz works to
accomplish this.
if is best if you walk thru the controller.xml and look at the widgets
that created the screens. I accomplish this by making a separate module
to put all my modifications in.
then looks that the services they call.
like createPersonAndUserLogin
you can see these in the webtools
services
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/availableServices

David,

I have been using 4.0 now using only the framework. Everything worked fine until I switched db. Moving from the derby caused problems. Trying to login you get "SecuirtyextUiLabels not found for locale" since LoginServices.java uses those resources. I suppose this has to do with new database not having any userlogins (since they're not imported when they're in securityext) and then trying to get the ui labels but does not find them. Is it supposed to be this way?

Could you be more specific about what you have in mind? The UserLogin  
entity is in the framework and should work fine without the party and  
securityext components.

If you want the partymgr you're opening a whole can of worms, as  
there is a lot in it and it isn't designed to be used independent of  
the other applications components. It can certainly be isolated, but  
I'd be very surprised if it was worth the effort.

    I'm running into the same problem here (framework not able to find
SecurityextUiLabels), so I cannot log in into Webtools application. I'd like
to use Webtools to manage my entities while I develop my application. I
didn't delete the applications and specialpurpose folders yet but I changed
the build and component-load files to avoid building and loading these
undesired applications.

    Am I able to use Web Tools application loading only the framework
components? If not, what is the minimum set of applications necessary to do
it?

Matheus,

Yes, you are able to use WebTools running only the components in the framework folder. One easy way to solve the issue of the UiLabel dependency from securityext is to simply move the SecurityextUiLabels.properties (right filename is it?) into framework/security. I think that since the framework uses these labels they should be in the framework folder so this problem won't come up again.

I looked around the mailing list and found some correspondence regarding this matter.

What's up with the loginservices.* labels?

[Jacopo Cappellato]

Carl,

in rev. 590571 I've moved the files to the common component, as you were
suggesting.

Thanks for your insight.

Jacopo
