 Special thanks to Mridul Pathak for inspiring me to write this tutorial. 

This document is meant for OFBiz  beginners. It will help to come up with the most basic knowledge of OFBiz application development process. Aim behind the creation of this tutorial is to acquaint a developer with best practices, coding conventions and the control flow and many more. This practice acts as the "Helloworld" for OFBiz similar as the first Helloworld when the programming "C" language was introduced by Kernighan and Richie.

Output Screen :

Step - 11 : Create a file in the webapp directory "practice" named index.jsp (Contents of this file can be taken from the "example" component). This file is responsible for redirecting the response to control/main if you give a url such as  http://localhost:8080/practice/. If you give a url such as http://localhost:8080/practice/unknown/requestit will be redirected to the redirectPath specified in web.xml. In that case, ContextFilter will filter out the request and use the redirect path to redirect the request.
