OFBiz + Hibernate? OFBiz + JSP?

Would love some guidance on two things.

1. I'm considering building out a commerce site using JSPs as the front-end (and a very lightweight MVC framework I use frequently and which suits my needs perfectly for presentation), but with OFBiz as the commerce engine. Two possible problems here:

   A. JSP front-ends look to be deprecated for the latest version of OFBiz

   B. if I ignore the fact that JSPs are deprecated in OFBiz, the question remains as to whether I can use my beloved MVC/JSP framework with the front-end components supplied by OFBiz. (Note that this only applies to the public-facing part of the relatively si开发者_StackOverflow中文版mple -- but multi-language/multi-currency -- commerce site I'm building; I'd gladly use the admin screens provided by OFBiz, quite possibly out of the box.)

2. I'm also quite happy with Hibernate as the framework through which I access my data. Unclear to me whether I can stick, 100%, with Hibernate and use OFBiz at the same time (or if I can't, how that integration would look). What if I want to, say, handle user-account management (or user-generated content, or whatever) in a non-OFBiz way, but use OFBiz for anything commerce-related? What about session persistence (in a clustered Tomcat environment)?

I should note that as far as front-end goes, I may end up using OFBiz only minimally (for stuff that truly nobody wants to reinvent the wheel for: calculating shipping; handling multiple currencies; dealing with sales tax/VAT/whatever for different U.S. states and different countries; etc.). I'm comfortable writing my own product-search pages; product-detail pages; shopping-cart pages; even checkout pages (but there, I'd need, minimally, the backend help of OFBiz to provide me with sales-tax info, shipping-charge logic, and so on).

Perhaps the solution is to forget about OFBiz for the public site at all -- just use it for all the backend stuff and for its extensive admin screens; that's something I could also be comfortable with. But I don't know how easy it is to use just portions of OFBiz.

A lot of questions here; apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but I've scoured this site and haven't found answers. Thanks!

If you're happy with using OFBiz along with Hibernate there's a fork of the OFBiz project called Opentaps that has included Hibernate into the framework. You're able to access your data via Hibernate or the pre-existing Entity Engine in OFBiz

On top of all this, you may find it includes or extends to make it easier to get up and running with what you're trying to accomplish.

It has a pretty solid community.
