You dont have to "write it from scratch", only the UI which is fairly simple.
I wrote a POJ (Plain old Java) POS application some years ago that ran on a desktop without a browser. It had three possible interfaces to the database. The first one where a copy of the db ran on the desktop machine and was syc'd with the main server twice a day. The second made a db connection to the same db server. That worked well, but there were some concurrency issues. The last used JSON calls to the backend server. All problems solved and the performance was not at all bad.

Once again, we are on a web application, not a native one. OFBiz has not been written for begin run on smartphones or anything, but on server. Except the POS, which has a synchronization function. If you want to make it work as a native app, then you'll have to write it from scratch... Cheers, >> > -- Erwan de FERRIERES www.nereide.biz
