So each entity creation itself was a separate work unit. Once an entity was created, you could submit the primary key creation as well. That's simple enough to implement(in theory, anyways). This design is starting to go towards the Sandstorm(1) approach.
I just looked at that site briefly. You're right - my thinking was a lot like that. Split up the work with queues - in other words, use the provider/consumer pattern.
If I was designing a product like OFBiz, I would have JMS at the front end. Each request gets packaged up into a JMS message and submitted to a queue. Different tasks respond to the queued messages. The last task is writing the response. The app server's request thread returns almost immediately. Each queue/task could be optimized.
