I may have given some answers to myself, since i found the document
that describes how to configure datasources per group (http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entityconfig.html#Entity_Model
)
I guess that relationship can only be defined among groups?

Thank you for your answer.
I do understand the principles of the EntityEngine (and of the
Service Layer relying on it)
Altough since my jdbc data source is not getting data from the same
database on which the EntityEngine is running, I get the impression
that to make it work I have to by pass the EntityEngine itself and
make my service access a "LegacyEngine" when required. Am I crazy?
Or is it possible to map part of the legacy engine to go to one data
source and an other part to an other? How will then relationship be
managed? Seems impossible to me...
Please help me out!

There will be other responses I am sure.
First of all you need to understand the Entity Engine.
There are two basic files that make up the UI.
FTL and Widgets.
I suggest you look up datasourses and link you legacy system that
way.
you can create you own Secas to sync ofbiz with your legacy system.
here is a good place to start

Hi.
I'm new to ofbiz and i'm studying its internals in order to
integrate it
with a legacy product.
I have a few questions:
* Where is the documentation of the file format used for the
screens?
* Accessing an entity through a jdbc-source instead of the ofbiz
entity
engine
I can replace the implementation of a service so that the finders
use
the jdbc driver but how do I, for instance, tell the "Edit
agreement"
screen to use the jdbc?
"I guess" that the edit screen uses the tag "entity-one" to load the
entity to be edited in the form, avoiding the need of a call to
"loadAgreement" service. How do i replace the implementation of that
tag/call?
Thank you for your time.
