On a phone? I don't think you can even run a J2SE JRE on a phone...  
not even with a "Hello World!" type of application (ie without OFBiz  
in the picture at all). A J2SE JRE is a LOT bigger than a J2ME JRE...

You could certainly do a SOAP or other client, and I know that has  
been done before for very small applications, even running on a phone.
