Component

An OFbiz component is a directory used by the OFBiz framework to specify and load application server resources necessary to execute an OFBiz instance. Each OFBiz component must have a unique name (typically the name of the root directory for the component) and a configuration file called: "ofbiz-component.xml". Component resources may include, but are not limited to: webapps, Java source/classes, classpath resources, scripts, entity definitions, entity data files, service definitions, service and entity ECA rules, test suites, and encryption keystores.
A component contains applications and/or the lower level tools and definitions needed by applications.
A component can be used for self-contained extensions, including applications and logic/data modifications, to the suite of tools and applications that come with OFBiz.
