Hi Everyone,
My name is Anton Mazkovoi, and I am one of the JIRA developers at
Atlassian. We are very happy users of OfBiz Entity Engine and have been
using it in JIRA for the past 3.5 years, to manage all of JIRA's
persistence.
Firstly, please let me thank every one who has contributed to OfBiz
Entity Engine, as it has helped us a great deal! Thank you all for
putting together this wonderful framework.
JIRA has been "stuck" on OfBiz Entity Engine 2.1.1 for a few years now,
and time has come to upgrade!
The first decision we have to make is whether to upgrade to the latest
source in SVN or the snapshot of EE that is shipped with opentaps 0.9.0.
As we have some patches to merge into the code (I will send details on
these in another e-mail) we would prefer to go with the latest source. I
would really appreciate if you could give me some insight on its
stability and readiness for production prime time.
I would also be very interested to know, if it is possible to use the
GeronimoTransactionFactory to manage transactions in various application
servers (i.e. not just Geronimo). Has anyone tried this?
I would also love to hear from anyone who has upgraded from 2.1.1 to the
latest Entity Engine builds. Are there any guides available that
describe the required steps? So far I have found:
http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=UpgradingOverviewHowever, I have noticed that the package names in EE had "core" removed.
Are there any other things people have come across that we should keep
in mind during the upgrade?
During the years of Entity Engine 2.1.1 usage, we have patched a few
things. Some of them seem to be in the latest source already. However,
there are still some things that are not there. I will follow up with
another e-mail describing the patches we have come up with, as we would
like to get them committed, if possible.
Thanks,
Anton
P.S. Please forgive me if this e-mail should have been sent to the
"users" list instead. As I plan to follow up with an e-mail discussing
patches, to keep the thread in one place, I chose the dev list.
