On top of the above mentioned core applications called "plugins" that extend basic functionality and is the main way to add custom logic to OFBiz. 1.2. Components The basic unit in OFBiz is called "component". A component is at a minimum application as it contains entities, data, services, user interface, routing, tests, and business logic. Both core OFBiz applications as well as plugins are nothing more than components. The only difference

designed specifically around a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Services are units of business logic that take a set of input values and produces a set of output values. Services are programming-language-independent away from the underlying technology. This provides maximum flexibility for designing business 2 logic without worrying about interoperability between different languages. 1.2.4. Widget System Whether rich and powerful data model is not very useful on its own without services that apply business logic on this data model. That is where the services defined in Apache OFBiz come into play. OFBiz provides
