Vince,
This application is not yet in production. However, I can share the test
system URL with you privately.
Thanks
Raj

Subject: Re: Advice needed: Integrating an External Webapp with OfBiz Order Application service layer via RMI...
Hi David,
I had the exactly same feeling you have now when I started looking at
the OFBiz as e-commerce solution. Immediate thought that came to me why
not to have my own store front in the technology of I like for example a
JSP, struts etc etc. Looking deep into the system I found it was a
unwarranted thought and current framework (widgets, screens, freemarker
etc.) are no less than other frameworks.
Going back to your question, 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.
If you are looking for network level communication, I think RMI is the
way to go if both of the applications are Java based. Recently, I had
integrated OFBiz with a Liferay Portal where store front was written as
a set of portlets.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi DeAngelo,
I'm a 'me-too' on this subject.
It's only in the last week I got round to trying out OfBiz. After the
initial Wow! factor died down I quickly realized that the storefront
looks almost hard-wired to the back-end. In the short time I've been
subscribed to the list I've seen several similar requests for advice
on how to cleanly separate the store front from the backend with no
apparent solution so far.
2) This app needs an ecommerce solutio. So in this non-ofbiz webapp, a
user can add a bunch of items to a shopping cart , and click "buy"
and have
ofbiz handle the rest. Now, the products may be added to OFBiz using
one of
the out-of-the-box applications, but the user should browse the product
catalog and buy shopping cart items from the external webapp
