Yep, it's no longer available OOTB since R9.04. It's maybe possible but you are on your own...

Does it create .ear somewhere, if it does then it would be easier to take it on to the external app server. I searched a little but couldn't find .war or .ear file.

No, OFBiz creates a jar file (that points to gradle cache I might add) so
you cannot change its location and it contains the bootstrapping logic to
start OFBiz. You can find in $OFBIZ_HOME/build/lib.

In other words, the entry point to OFBiz is main() which fires up tomcat.
The build system does not create a webapp, instead it creates an executable
with bootstrapping logic.

We should move away from this architecture at some point, but this is what
we have for now.

Thanks Taher. Do you think it will fulfill all the needs for the enterprise level project in production? Since it will run only on tomcat webserver and can't run it on jboss or webogic etc at least as of now.

Ideally it should run on any servlet container, the reason why it is tied
to tomcat is probably more historical, not necessarily architectural.
Remember that OFBiz started in 2001 and back then things were very
different.

But yes, it is for me at least one important item in the future todo list.
Hopefully we'll get around to it once we finish some other high priority
tasks like UI redesign, REST integration and a few other critical tasks.

You are right. I'm asking a lot but would you be so kind to tell me below:

I want to use ofbiz as an online eCommerce store at least for the now but UI seems very old can't fit in today's time.

So,
I would be having many changing in business logic in backend/frontend and I don't want to change the existing logic rather I want to build a top layer which will include my new UI and custom backend code. So if any new release comes then it would be very easy to upgrade my system. Is that possible. We do the same thing in Oracle Commerce but I can't afford it :)

You are changing the subject of this thread. It is better to start new
threads when you have a new topic to avoid diluting this discussion and to
keep the information focused.
