 Hi! Jacques,
 I am sorry! Either we have got too much communication difference or 
probably I am just too bad at english. I just don't get the point you are 
trying to put. last time I messed up this time I don't want to. So I will 
appreciate if you could be more specific.
 Actually, I was going to write more on this point today cause was busy on a 
project yesterday. 
 Lazslo, is basically a presentation server that takes in XML input and 
gives out output in Flash. We were trying to make a RIA Generator as part of 
our R&D effort. That time I got to work with Lazslo. We have made a basic 
Java Application that takes in User Input as the data he wants to maintain 
and give the O/P in form of Lazslo XML files (.lzx) The process is very 
easy, specifically due to the fact that the LZX files are true XML files 
with predefined Lazslo tags.
 The problem with this is. The Lazslo Presentation Server on Windows XP 
running on a Intel PIV 2.2Ghz with 256 MB DDR RAM takes around 8-10 mins to 
start and around 15 mins to actually deliver the first page. Also whenever 
you veisit a page for the first time there is a overhead of about 3 mins.
 As compared to Ofbiz (Which runs pretty perfectly even on my Thinkpad) LPS 
is too much overload. Once I run LPS on the ThinkPad I am not able to even 
work on it. Its damn too sluggish.
 The second point is it generates Flash O/P which can be only veiwed with 
the Flash plugin. While Ofbiz in current form can be used even in the Basic 
browsers and even applying AJAX will mean compatibility with most of the 
browsers.
 I hope that explains the point I was mentioning there quite well. In any 
further queries you can ask me. Also you can have a look at our project at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rwadt

>Lazslo: I have worked with that thing. Our company has open source the
project to make RIA using Laszlo server. Out of experience I can say, it
would not be suitable for use with Ofbiz becuase the LPS >is huge and too
heavy. Though the language used to describe the UI is XML, the O/P is flash.
I think we should remain more cross platform using AJAX stuff. There is also
another option to Lazslo i.e. >WebORB but it too has the same problems.

Thanks Tohit for this information, many people are asking themselves about
this point !

Jacques
