Ok terminology. ofbiz Framework is the components under the framework folder. Application are under the Application folder.
Unless you bringing more functionality to ofbiz by your code, you might consider using the ecommerce, since you can have many, from one ofbiz if it is the company that runs them. and if you have some presentation different than the handlers in ofbiz now, then you can look at creating a handler for you presentation layer. But what could be simpler than just making some CSS changes to have the ecommerce side look like anything you want. you can also implement your presentation on the httpd, PHP, and use a connector (ajp) between the httpd and ofbiz.
