One problem that will arise in creating web pages using multiple AJAX toolkits will be contention for browser resources and JavaScript library clobbering on the client side. The OpenAjax Alliance is striving to overcome this problem with the OpenAjax Hub http://www.openajax.org/OpenAjax%20Hub.html. The hub is a part of the framework that batches messages out of the browser to a service listener. So I think OFBiz should be less concerned with the client side implementation, for now, and focus more on services that can deliver good XML that doesn't pass through the HTML templates. I'm looking at implementing DWR http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr with my OFBiz installation.
