Best way to do it is to use the OFbiz extension model.
1. Create a new component in the hot-deploy either using 'ant create-component' or manually. 2. Extend the controller.xml from e-commerce controller. Look at how this is done for ecomclone application in the c-commerce componet. 3. Now you can add your own request-map/view-map to the controller. You can also override the e-commerce request maps and view maps by adding them with the same name. 4. Add the screens you wants int he widget folder. These screens will be referred in your view maps 5. Add the freemarker templates you want to change. These freemarker templates will be referred in your screens.
Following the above will help you to use the existing funcatinlaity of e-commerce component and at the same time add your own changes. You can keep this component in your local source repository.

Thank you BJ, I will look at the data model. One question, suppose I copy the ecommerce folder into hot-deploy& try to modify files in it, what should I change in the copy ofbiz-component.xml file so that when I test http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/control/main it opens the copy instead of the original?
