Using ofbiz service engine in other frameworks

[rajsaini]

Hi,

I am interested in integrating the service engine in other frameworks
such as  JSF, Struts  etc. Is it possible to use the Ofbiz service
engine out of the Ofbiz web framework? Can some one point me to the
documentation or provide some help pointers?

Thanks,

Raj

This is certainly possible, and in fact has been done a number of times.

With the OFBiz framework you can actually delete the applications and  
specialpurpose directories and build and run just fine with the  
skeleton, ie just the framework components.

The service engine, entity engine, etc don't depend on any of the UI  
layer stuff, so you can create a UI layer however you want to. To  
initialize the entity and service engines the current UI layer stuff,  
namely the ControlServlet and other stuff in the framework/webapp  
component, are a good example of how to set everything up.
