Understanding the OFBiz Widget Toolkit

  1. Simply open $OFBIZ_HOME/plugins/ofbizDemo/widget/OfbizDemoScreens.xml file from the ofbizDemo plugin (you just created)


    Code Block
    languagexml
    <?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
<screens xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://ofbiz.apache.org/Widget-Screen" xsi:schemaLocation="http://ofbiz.apache.org/Widget-Screen http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/widget-screen.xsd">
    <screen name="main">
        <section>
            <actions>
                <set field="headerItem" value="main"/><!-- this highlights the selected menu-item with name "main" -->
            </actions>
            <widgets>
                <decorator-screen name="OfbizDemoCommonDecorator" location="${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
                    <decorator-section name="body">
                        <label text="Hello World!! :)"/>
                    </decorator-section>
                </decorator-screen>
            </widgets>
        </section>
    </screen>
</screens>

    We have only added the <label text="Hello World!! :)" />

  2. Now you will need to restart OFBiz by reloading data($ ./gradlew loadAll ofbiz). It's required as you have created a new component with some security data for your component (Setup by default in your component data directory as OfbizDemoSecurityGroupDemoData.xml) and as you will restart it, the ofbizdemo component will also be loaded.
  3. As OFBiz restarted direct your browser to your application here https://localhost:8443/ofbizDemo
  4. You will be asked to log in. Login with user: admin password: ofbiz.
  5. As you log in you will see the ofbizdemo application up with the hello world message you have put on screen as shown below the given image.
    That's it, congratulations your first component is set up and running.

Creating First Database Entity (Table) 

Reference document: 

Entity Engine Guide

Defining entity

To create custom Entities/Tables in the database, you simply need to provide entity definition in the $OFBIZ_HOME/plugins/ofbizDemo/entitydef/entitymodel.xml file of your ofbizdemo application. This file structure is already set up when you used the Gradle task to set up your component. You simply need to go in and provide entity definition as shown below. Here we are going to add two new entities for the ofbizdemo application.
