Hi,
I too - have my own preferred web framework (Cocoon) into which I would

Hi Raj,
...what exactly you mean by clearly separate store front? To me it
looks clearly separate as you can create your own web application and
have your e-commerce store front as you want without keeping any
thing from the default technologies.
I don't wish to hijack DeAngelo's thread but... like him, I have my
own preferred web framework (Cocoon) into which I would like to bolt
on an estore. However, I'd rather not end up with a Frankenstein
monster with a big bolt holding it all together! I'm taking great
pains to ensure that the look and feel of the site is managed in one
place. If I bolt OfBiz on the side I will have to keep two sets of
templates in sync with each other.
To me the ideal solution would be to have a library of POJOs that
implement a storefront and a shopping basket API and use spring
configuration to establish settings like where the database is. Then
I could incorporate those beans in a JSP page or a Cocoon pipeline or
a Struts app as appropriate. I think it is the distributed nature of
the configuration which is a stumbling block at the moment.
Of course all those things may exist already and I haven't spotted
them...
Maybe I should take a closer look at the GenericDelegator class which
I see is used a lot in things like
org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.ShoppingCart.java
Regards,
David Legg
