Some months ago I was looking at the code of open for business: while it's architecture is pretty clean, it was a mess of freemarker + JSP + jpublish mvc + pages bound to page classes with an xml file per page + beanshell actions + 2 different xml scripting "micro"-languages (average length of line: 120 chars) which "speed up development of business logic" + services configured in xml files + java for the core + ofbiz entity engine for persistence + XPDL-defined workflows + business rules with their own language.
