Dev - User agent / Handlheld processing [Newbie]

Daniel Goodwin
Currently evaluating ofbiz for manufacturing warehouse
/ inventory use (UK).

I have particular question on use of handheld devices
for use in warehouse and want to try and understand
how I could manipulate warehouse management screens
for this purpose.
First thought I had was to find out if framework would
allow use of User-Agent directive on input to redirect
request to different screen definitions particularly
suited to the device 1/4 VGA. If not then is the only
option to create a separate framework aound the
limited functionality needed for the terminals
(receive into stock, stock transfer, QA, pick/pack,
stocktake)

How about developing a scaled down UI for the handhelds? It wouldn't require a
separate framework, just a separate set of screen widgets. Point the handhelds
to the URL for the scaled down UI.

We will be doing the same thing here later this year. I'm hoping to develop a UI
for cell phones too.

Thanks Adrian - I used the term framework a little too
liberally. I had
meant to provide a subset of screens within the
existing framework. At the moment I am gathering a
list of functionality
required for the handheld and  how to  fast track some
of the processes
(require less input / make assumptions).
Schedule for me is probably sooner rather than later,
so I'll share my
experiences as soon as something tangible to report.
