This is to keep some notes for some wishful additions/fixes to Webtools. Many of these may only be wishes or not implementable at all.
cjhowe: I will personally be looking into a few of these items the weekend of March 10th. I'd like to see what comes out of the unofficial developers conference that may end up making some of these things easier to accomplish.
Cache/Debug
- Not sure if this is cache, but allow reread of uiLabels
- bring online, take offline specific components
- Expand the logging/loggers to seperate areas of interest...ie a log that ignores the webtools component, etc
- Pull logs up on the fly
Entity Engine
- Add Support to Choose the Delegator...move away from only being able to use "default"
- On database checks group the error messages by "type"
Entity XML
- Add Support to Choose the Delegator...move away from only being able to use "default"
Export
- Case Sensitive Referential Integrity Check before writing record.
- Write parent records before children records when there is a hierarchy within an entity
Import
- Give options
- Commit Strategies
- row-level commit
- file-commit
- abort on failure
- continue on failure
- Better logging, especially to the ui
Service Engine Tools
Workflow Engine Tools
Data File Tools
Misc. Setup Tools
- Allow read/write of commonly changed property/config files
- url.properties
Performance Tests
Server Hit Statistics Tools
Content XML
Find identical entries of interest. Whether an entire screen is repeated or request-map. Mostly useful for custom components based on core components. not necessarily beneficial to OFBiz OOTB
