Hello,I just looked at the documentation of spring. However I found that theydont have a better documentation on the first look.The problem with ofbiz is that the docs are spreaded over many websites andit takes time to find your way. But this is common to other projects, tooA Howto section is missing with ofbiz, but there is the getting startedsecition on the wiki and much more.I looked athttp://www.springframework.org/downloads/EduardoIssao/Spring.pdfto find out where the difference between Spring versus OfbizSpring:- I dont see any existing entities there. Its just a framework! OfBIZ has600 plus well-thought entities ready to be used and aggreed upon!- I dont see standard components with business functionality. There mightbe apps out there but you got to merge them yourself!+ it seems they have a better marketing department!So Spring just has a different approach and can not be compared to ofbizwhich is an erp-system with a nice framwork! Spring is just a framework! Sothere are years until spring could reach ofbiz level !?Keep in mind I just researched for 30 minutes. So my view could be veryfalse!mit freundlichen Grüssen/ Kind regards / muchos saludos--Dipl. Wirt.-Ing. Michael Pfurtschellerzentric GmbH & Co.
