Key-Work Ofbiz Contribution Proposal

Update (2007-05-24):

I created the following JIRA Issues:

with several dependencies, the text of the issues have a Required: field with an info if the current issue depends on another one

Ofbiz trunk revision was 540035, each issue has a patch-file attached.

Hi,

key-work uses Ofbiz (mostly the entity engine) for over 2 years now.

Last year I had mail contact with David E. Jones about an issue with the class TransactionUtil.

He recommended to contribute changes the Ofbiz Community regularly whenever possible and useful.

It is a long time since this happened, but we finally convinced our management to try

to contribute some changes and extensions to the Ofbiz community.

I read the FAQ and found out that especially complex changes might take a long time

and we may need some "community attendance".

David told me to place our proposal here and to send a link to the mailing list.

This article is our "trial balloon" to find out whether our changes and improvementsare

welcome and how we could integrate them during the next months.

The attached zip-file does not contain any source code (yes, I read the FAQ )

but information and documentation about what we offer.

On the one hand we have some minor fixes or simple changes

(like making a specific attribute public).

On the other hand we developed some major extensions that

may also be interesting for other members of the community, i.e.:

In the attached zip file you'll find the entry document overview.htm with links to other files.

I included some PDFs with the basic concepts and I hope there are some topics you might be interested in.

Finally you'll find some api documentation just to get an idea of the classes.

I hope one of the "Ofbiz gurus" will have a look at the attached stuff to make a statement.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards
