Hello World Tutorials Fixes for More Recent OFBIZ Versions

The original Hello World tutorials were written in June 2005, and since then there have been some significant changes to the structure of the OFBiz directories after opentaps 0.9.x releases. If you are trying the Hello World tutorials on a later version of OFBiz or opentaps, you must make the following changes necessary:

First, each web.xml file in the hello_/webapp/hello_/WEB-INF/ must be changed so that:

org.ofbiz.securityext.login.LoginEventListener

org.ofbiz.webapp.control.LoginEventListener

Second, the build.xml file in the hello3/ directory needs to have the lines:

<fileset dir="../../base/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
<fileset dir="../../base/build/lib" includes="*.jar"/>

<fileset dir="../../framework/base/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
<fileset dir="../../framework/base/build/lib" includes="*.jar"/>

Third, if you are using opentaps 1.0.0 or later, you must edit the file hot-deploy/component-load.xml and add the hello applications there, like this:

<load-component component-location="${ofbiz.home}/hot-deploy/hello1"/>
