Week 1

This week I laid out the foundation for this module:

• installed the reference application
  • Tutorial
• created a running module using app- and uiframework
  • UI Framework Tutorial
  • App Framework Tutorial
• started to create data model using JPA annotations instead of hibernate config files
  • Openmrs Wiki
  • Hibernate JPA Annotations
• added findPatient.page form coreapps into my module (adaption to findSurgery record is not yet finished)
• added jacoco code coverage generation to the build process
  • Code
• started to develop service layer
• started to develop webservice for surgery resource
  • Tutorial for module developers
  • Technical documentation
• read tutorial about liquibase and started to write changeSet to create tables

Of course I have faced a lot of difficulties during this first week. The most tiresome ones were related to configuration issues. It also takes a while to figure out implicit conventions (e.g.: Which rest webservice url ends up in calling my getAll() method of my resource?). I am glad that there is a lot of documentation and code out there where you can have a look of how others solved the problems. This helped me a lot.
