I'm sorry for pushing this off-track by mentioning hibernate. The important point is that the technologies aren't important. There are many technologies that could be used for the entity engine, and as BJ has pointed out, the ofbiz entity engine is very good. The problem for me is that the entity engine is deeply interwined with the rest of ofbiz. These dependencies need to be managed. Having a more modular ofbiz has advantages for ofbiz as a whole and for each module.
