Hello, I was reading the exaple component and then in ExampleForms.xml file,
in the ListExamples form, there is an action where it brings data from the
Example table (entity), how I can add conditions like "where" or something
more customized?

Is there any detailed manual / tutorial with all this things that we
beginners need to start develop in ofbiz. I'm totally lost.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Carlos,

In the action you have this code:
 <entity-condition entity-name="Example"><order-by
field-name="exampleName"/></entity-condition>

You can add expressions to entity-condition element like this
<entity-condition entity-name="Example">
               <condition-expr field-name="exampleTypeId"
operator="equals" value="REAL_WORLD"/>
               <order-by field-name="exampleName"/>
            </entity-condition>
You can also combine many condition expressions using <condition-list>
element.

I am not sure if introduction videos cover this but you can check:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and
+Diagrams

Rashko Rejmer

For minilang I will recommend to have an XML editor with completion.
To know more about that : http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Mini-Language+Guide (from
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index). Look for "XML completion tool"
Else you may read annotations/documentation in simple-method.xsd but it will be a lot more tedious...
