9. OFBiz Physical Layout

10. OfBiZ Physical Layout

11. OfBiz Physical Layout (1)
config: configuration files such as labels and prompts
Xml files.
.properties files are configuration resources
data: seed and / or test data files
These map to the data that ends up in entity tables
ShipmentTypeData.xml

12. OfBiz Physical Layout (2)
documents: help documents
entifitydef: entity definition files used to build the database
Entitymodel.xml
script: script files written in minilang or groovy
Product\script\shipment\ShipmentServices.xml
src: Java source files

13. OfBiz Physical Layout (3)
servicedef: entries for Web services
In addition to Groovy scripts
webapp: The web application itself
Uses another tool called freemarker
widget: define the screens

14. OfBiz Design It’s based on the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL)
UBL lays out objects and responsibilities for many things
Product items
Customers
Etc…
These map to OFBiz Entities

15. OfBiz Design
It’s based on a component stack made up of several components
Entities are those tables and relationships you viewed with the entity designer
They are built from XML files

16. OfBiz Components (Entity)

22. Installing Steps Install the correct Java version and SDK
Download and unzip the OfBiz distribution
Configure the software

23. Configuring the Application
Setup demo data, if desired
There is a clean option to remove all data.
Setup the ports

24. Configuring the Application
We had no settings because I had not configured them
${ofbiz install dir}/framework/common/config/general.properties

25. Multitenant
In the OfBiz context, multitenant means that we run one copy of the software but several copies of the data (base)
Good for development
Good for our class
Good to create multiple branded websites within one instance of the application
Good for the environment too

26. <Tenant tenantId=“10001” tenantName=“Name”/> <TenantDataSource tenantId=“10001” entityGroupName=“org.ofbiz”  jdbcUri=“jdbc:postgresql:// /tenant_name” jdbcUsername=“username” jdbcPassword=“password”/> <TenantDataSource tenantId=“10001” entityGroupName=“org.ofbiz.olap”  jdbcUri=“jdbc:postgresql:// /tenant_nameolap” jdbcUsername=“username” jdbcPassword=password"/>
