For Data Import, you need to understand the entity relationships (data model) both of the original application as well as Ofbiz. Demo*.xml files as well as the book and online resources will help you understand the ofbiz data model. Once you do that, there are couple of options that I went with to actually import the data
1. To use scriptella.javaforge.net - a very handy and flexible framework for massaging/importing data 2. Using Entity engine - I managed to separate Entity Engine out and write utility which allows you to specify mapping fields from one data source to the Ofbiz one. I have mentioned a few things that I learned and thought would be useful to others about Ofbiz entities and in general at ritesht.blogspot.com Hope that helps.
