Hello,

Such books aplain the data model, but not the Ofbiz tool itself.

I don't even know where to control this, but any way, on my case I have a different database model (utility sector)

I asked for a typical Hello World example in order to see at least how to configurate and work with the Entity Engine and Service Engine. I asked to the mailing list for that, and people recomend to me some seminar, where such stuff is explained. So in order to see the most simplest example I have to page an expensive seminar, there is no book, no tutorial, nothing, for something theoretically simple. On any new tecnology there is a such simple example.

I wanted to show to my boss the benefit of using ofbiz, but with the information on the web, for me it is impossible to make a simple particular demostrative example, let say, reading some information from database and showing it on the web browser.

>Creating a new component? Just copy a existing one and get going!

We have a datamodel, because we want to port a non-web aplication to a web-framework, our bussines is the utility sector, so the existing models are not what we are looking for. My idea is to import the data-model and then develope some services, but starting with a simple one, which is not documented how to make it.

>Anyway you'll need to invest more time than you want :-) 

that is true..., but I have readed all the existing and free documentation on the web, and I am more or less at the same point, :-)

>Again: What do you want to do with OFBIZ or Spring? 

To have a framework in order to simplify the development effort and to have the garantee team members use the smae tools and the same rules on the developing process.

Thanks and Regards,
David
