Hi everyone,
I am new to this list so my apologies if I am out of topic or am asking the already obvious.
I am evaluating possible commercial and/or open source solutions for an upcoming project for one of our customers and need your advice on ofbiz suitability for the task at hand. We are building an ecommerce solution with a limited number of products that will be managed in a content management system, products may be grouped in packages and there will be discount variants when purchasing certain combinations of products. The system will communicate with a backend billing system on a nightly basis (file transfer). There will also be online content products that can be subscribed to.
My conclusions this far about ofbiz is:
- It seems to be a cool product.
- It is not fully completed in all areas.
- It will take a while to learn to use it properly
- It has a rich set of features and a complex data model.
My questions are:
- How long time would be needed for a senior Java developer to get to learn ofbiz good enough to implement the described system?
- How much of the implementation effort is likely to be extensions and configuration and how much will already be available?
- Is the EJB service layer mature, well documented and easy to use?
- Are there any other questions I should ask?
Thanks,
Fredrik Rubensson
