Is there a good java-based eCommerce Framework that you can recommend? I need to implement a quite sophisticated frontend for my customer and most 'ready-to-roll' shopping carts are a mess when it comes to customizing the frontend and changing the application flow.
A:
Also look into Broadleaf Commerce. It's open source, based on Spring and Hibernate. The overall goal is to provide a modular framework with the most commonly needed components already provided, while flexible and lightweight enough to add your own custom logic without getting in your way. You can build your UI however you like--the platform doesn't force you to use any specific front end technologies. It scales well too...The Container Store is using it right now. It's actively developed and you can download the source code from SourceForge.
