Hello Pardeep:
The IMHO the Entity Engine (EE) is one of the greatest kept secrets
about OFBiz. I have used it in the past for many applications outside of
the OFBiz ERP suite. I have also used it in applications where Hibernate
was also being used (but not in the same Servlets.) There are lots of
ways to do this - but the easiest and fastest way to get started is to
build your application within the OFBiz framework and access the
database. All the coding tools (Java, Groovy, Bean Shell, Simple Methods
etc. ) are already integrated and use the EE.
You don't need to change anything in your Hibernate configuration.
Instead, remove the configuration file(s); don't put any Hibernate
jars on your classpath and convert your applications to run within the
framework. Of course, if you are already making database calls, you will
need to use the EE query language and not SQL. No worries however, the
EE query language is much easier to use than embedded SQL.
Regards,
Ruth
