> Is it possible to upload and use apache ofbiz (http://ofbiz.apache.org/) in

greetings!

unfortunately, i don't believe it's possible to run OFBiz on App
Engine. there are many reasons for this, some of which include:

1) OFBiz is an applications development environment, much like App
Engine is. both products provide an application development and
deployment platform, so it makes less sense to run one on top of
another. like App Engine, it comes with its own webserver.

2) OFBiz has its own backend requirements, e.g., it relies on a
traditional relational database for backend store:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

3) it is too large. the latest OFBiz distro tarball is 214MB while the
App Engine quota is 150MB:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/runtime.html#Quotas_and_Limits

however, you *can* connect your OFBiz application to other Google APIs
such as Google Base and Google Checkout:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Applications

here are other platforms (other than native) that you can run OFBiz
apps on:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Run+OFBiz+under+outside+Application+Servers

the bottom line is that they both complete development environments of
which there isn't any way to pick off components out of App Engine you
can integrate into OFBiz to support those applications.

best regards!
