ofbiz development and deployment strategy !

Hi All,

Here is the requirement :

Using ofbiz, we want to develop different applications, services which caters to independent requirements. They can be deployed independently as well as on single ofbiz instance. Need some guidance on the development methodology for this setup.

Basically we do not want to change the ofbiz core src code but just utilize the built in services, entities etc. This will allow us to upgrade to latest ofbiz version at any given time.

Here are some thoughts on the deployment strategy:

Proposed Solution 1 :

- Create separate web app in specialpurpose folder.
ofbiz/specialpurpose/app1
ofbiz/specialpurpose/app2
ofbiz/specialpurpose/app3

With this we will have:

- One source code to handle. Version controlling will be easy.

- During deployment we can tell ofbiz which applications(order, party etc) to be deployed for each specialpurpose app (minisite, user_mgmt etc.)

Proposed Solution 2:

- Create a separate project, independent of ofbiz and use ofbiz jars(base src code) to develop the new application/project.

With this we will have:

- Different customized source codes using ofbiz base src code.

- Deployment will need each application being deployed with the original ofbiz base src code.

Please comment .. Any ideas/thoughts are welcome.

Thanks In Advance !

Regards,
Prashant

Re: ofbiz development and deployment strategy !

I have switched to use the ./ant create-component in 10.4 and trunk
you can make one that is named the same as one of the component and
override it or
you can create your own component and add your functionality.
the second will show up as a tab.

Check
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/SVN+Tips+-+svn_load_dirs+Vendor+Branchit
might be of interest too.

I've had to take the same decision recently and I found this way the more
practical and easy. You can merge from vendor branch to custom branch easily
using svn tools.
