There has been interest lately in using a REST interface to the OFBiz service engine - so the UI can be pure client-side JavaScript, and the UI is updated dynamically using XML or JSON calls to the REST API. That design would be a huge task, but it could create a truly impressive UI. I will ref

I agree with the "gem" ranking level at which widgets are placed and find it a worthy effort to convert as much FTL to widgets as possible because widgets extremely faster to interpret than FTL files. However, sometimes the framework has to be extended to support all of the FTL features which adds
