Technical

Entity Engine

• OFBiz apps work with relational stores directly
• Entity Engine provides a “ResultSet on steroids”interface to relational data called a GenericEntity
• Schemas and queries are database agnostic
• A caching infrastructure is provided to accelerate common lookups. Cache sizes can be adjusted on an Entity by Entity basis

Service Engine

• Services are exposed as stateless units of functionality with named parameters and can be called synchronous, asynchronous or scheduled
• Services can be implemented in a variety of languages; The calling interface shields any calling code from the implementation details
• Services can be delegated to remote machines via SOAP, XML-RPC and other messaging services; OFBiz services can also be externally exposed via the same protocols

Example Service

<service name="quickShipEntireOrder" engine="simple" auth="true" location="org/ofbiz/shipment/shipment/ShipmentServices.xml"
