I am considering migrating a couple of applications that I have written to ofbiz. One future goal that I am considering for this application is for it to be incorporated/inducted into the ofbiz codebase.
While I understand the power of ofbiz is that everything is done the same way (db model,webframework), I was wondering just how strict these guidelines are? For example, what if I used ibatis for db persistence? What if I used tapestry as my web framework? Would using ibatis/tapestry/springframework prevent my application from being a candidate for the apache/ofbiz project? As an example, one of the applications is a remotable content repository. It is used for to upload content from many different application servers on different hosts to a central repostory where it is indexed by lucene, thumbnails generated dynamically when invoked. It's very fast as one can view 900 images in an instant, and tag them with files, and descriptions. There is a single interface that is remotable to find,search,upload,content. Admin application is tapestry/ajax. I've spent many man-months on this, having implemented it in 3 different ways to achieve the required speed I needed for performance. Thank you.
