About Me

I started my own comapny last year providing Adempiere and Compiere consultancy and development. I like developing business systems. This makes me headache from tme to time, but also makes me very happy when i see system wokring.

As a member of ADempiere Council i like to review patches and SVN commits in order to be sure that code remains stable and system functional. I hope that you have found that i like to help in forums and provide guidance to ADempiere developers how to solve problems they find in their day by day work.

I think that Adempiere would get a lot of kudos if Adempiere went the XBRL route www.xbrl.org for financial reporting. For listed companies (and even for unlisted) XBRL will be the way to go especially for any international company that has to consolidate accounts from multiple legal entities in multiple countries in a standardised manner. This would be an essential component of an ERP system in the 2008-2009 time frame. If Adempiere would have its COA structured the XBRL way and have XBRL compliant financial statements at company/consolidated level it would be an AMAZING value proposition to so many organisations.

Incoming evenets

Time: 15:00 GMT Day: Tuesday June 26 Venue: IRC channel #adempiere-team (on irc.freenode.net)

1 - Centralized Application Dictionary Management

2 - The second issue is that developer community is growing and commit committee can't cope with the review of all commits.

Developer hints

  • class dbPort/org.compiere.process.DocActionTemplate shows a template for DocAction, i think that it must be updated.
Subversion Access

Adempiere project's SourceForge.net Subversion repository can be checked out through SVN with the following instruction set: svn co https://adempiere.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/adempiere adempiere

sf.net forum post

Important Steps: 

1. Apply the following patches: 
 
buildbase.patch.tim 
buildclient.patch.tim 
buildutils_dev.patch.tim 
X_AD_WF_Node.patch 
X_C_DocType.patch 
X_S_Resource.patch 
X_AD_Workflow.patch 
X_M_Cost.patch 
X_M_Transaction.patch 
X_M_Product.patch 
 
2. I copied adempiere/libero/build.xml.tim to adempiere/libero/build.xml 
 
Build your Adempiere and run it.  

3. Create a new client and import accounting etc... 
(If you don't do this you won't see all the menus, you can't just login under GardenAdmin/GardenAdmin that is not enough) 
It looks that 2pack file do not contains proper access records.
Must research!!!

4. Login with your new client Admin login you created in step3 and Libero away!!!

Weak sides of 2pack according me
  • Require integration at source code level with Adempiere, which means that if i need to customize any import functionality i must rebuild whole application or patch it.
    • Carlos pointed that 2Pack can import records into any table, even customized. Weak side of this imports into 2Pack Any Table is that xml file contains IDs:
  • Main class(org.adempiere.pipo.PackInHandler) which handle import is very big(3800 lines) and complex, which require lot of time for developer to study it and makes modifications hard task.
    • Since version 3.3.0 Low Heng Sin refactored org.adempiere.pipo.PackInHandler and now it is split into multiple classes.
  • 2Pack uses SAX Parser which makes developer job harder as developer can't look forward or backward in XML tree.

OpenXava Q & A

Created an entity ticketClass with a method GenerateTickets. Implemented the calculator using an IModelCalculator class.

Want to create a button/link when ticketClass is displayed so that user click on it the method gets executed.

Q1. How do I set this up?
  • A1. Have to create an action and include it in the controller of your module.

In this action, you can obtain the object and call to you method, something like this: 

public void execute() throws Exception {
  ...
  TicketClass ticketClass = (TicketClass) MapFacade.findEntity(getModelName(), getView().getKeyValues());
  ticketClass.generateTickets();
  getView().findObject(); // This refresh the view (Q2)
  ...
}
Q2. How can I get the view of the entity refreshed after the method is executed.
  • A2. See the above code
Q3. How can i reload other modules to reflect the changes made by an action that was performed in one module?

An action in one module (module A) that changes the value of the data contained in another module (module B), when i execute an action button (in module A), it executes successfully and updates the data in the other entity (entity B) in the database, but when i view module B, the module list view (of module B) is still showing the old data!

  • A3. In a Liferay 2.1.3 with OX2.2 it works fine, that is, I modify data in a portlet, I move to another and the data

is refreshed without touch filter nor any other action. Look at your web/WEB-INF/portlet.xml, have you <expiration-cache>0</expiration-cache> for your portlets? Since OX2.1 expiration-cache is 0 in the portlet.xml generated by OpenXava. Hence, if you are using OX2.1 or better you only need to execute the ant target 'redeployPortlets' in order to fix your portlet.xml file.


Q4. How to avoid warnings that messages are not translated
  • A4.

This messages warn you about the labels that you need to put in your i18n/YourProyectName-labels_en.properties. Developer can avoid this messages putting the next line: 

i18nWarnings=false

in the file properties/xava.properties of your project.

Q5. Example TestCase
public class ExampleTest extends ModuleTestBase { 
 
  public DepartmentsTest(String testName) { 
  
  super(testName,"ExampleManager", "ExampleModlue");
  } 
  
  public void testCreateReadUpdateDelete() throws Exception { 
  
    //Test Create
    execute("CRUD.new");
    setValue("id", "ENG");
    setValue("name", "Example Name");
    setValue("description", "Example description");
    assertNoErrors();
  } 
}
Q.6 How to provide a web API for accessing the OpenXava application?

Just use Web Services. The OpenXava applications are standard Java Web applications, therefore you can use any Java API from your OpenXava application.

In this case you can create a simple Java class, with the services of you application that you want to expose. And use from it MapFacade or the model objects generated by OpenXava, or whatever code of your application you want. Something like this: 

public class MyService {

  public Address getCustomerAddress(String customerId) throws Exception {
    // Here you use the POJOs generated by OpenXava
    Customer customer = (Customer) Customer.findById(customerId);
    return customer.getAddress();
  }
}

Now you can create a Web Service from MyService class using AXIS, or the wizard included in Eclipse WTP. But, remember, all this is a Java issue, not an OpenXava one.

Q7. Magic numbers

It is possible to define some magic numbers in OX? The Environment Variables are not enough. I want to use the magic numbers in components.

  • A7. Use standard techniques for Java and XML.

In Java you can use "public final static" variables: 

public class MyMagicNumbers {
  public final static int MY_MAGIC = 24324;
}

In XML you can use XML ENTITIES: 

<!ENTITY mymagic "24324">

and then use &mymagic; instead of 34324.

These techniques are not from OpenXava but from Java and XML.

In XML you can use @mymagic@, and the filter of OpenXava ant build changes it from a value of your properties file. This allows you to have a different value of @mymagic@ for each customer or configuration. This is a technique from OpenXava.
