IBM surepos and ofbiz
Locked
 
|
On Tuesday, September 8th a user posted "Cannot open POS" regarding
configuring javapos for a surepos 500. I have a surepos 741 (older with rs485), and have had some success. I used the svn version of ofbiz though I don't think that should matter. I am on linux, but others can hopefully help with the difference in operating systems. I am not familar enough with windows. One thing unusual I had to do was to create links in /ofbiz/specialpurpose/pos to the /ibm/javapos and /javax-usb directories. ln -s /opt/ibm/javapos/ . ln -s /opt/javax-usb/ . Edited /ofbiz/specialpurpose/pos/ofbiz-component.xml to include those directories. <ofbiz-component name="pos" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/ofbiz-component.xsd"> <resource-loader name="main" type="component"/> <classpath type="dir" location="config"/> <classpath type="dir" location="styles"/> <classpath type="dir" location="screens"/> <classpath type="jar" location="lib/*"/> <classpath type="jar" location="build/lib/*"/> <!-- These 4 lines are the lines I added → <!-- They must be relative to the current directory, possibly under this directory → <classpath type="dir" location="javapos/etc"/> <classpath type="jar" location="javax-usb/lib/*"/> <classpath type="dir" location="javax-usb/etc"/> <classpath type="jar" location="javapos/lib/*"/> Merged the correct devices from ibm jpos.xml into the ofbiz/specialpurpose/pos/config/jpos.xml file. This was easiest by using the IBM tools to create a jpos file and then putting all of the devices from that into the ofbiz jpos.xml file. Then modified ofbiz/framework/base/config/pos-containers.xml to use the correct device from the jpos.xml file. I then did an ant run-install and ant run-install-seed After that everything worked. I am using a sun-java with ibm java and javax-usb files in my system class path, but it would not run links and changes to the /ofbiz/specialpurpose/pos/ofbiz-component.xml file. I have gotten both the pos printer an epson with an RS485 module that mimics a model 4 and the ibm cash drawer RS485 working. I would like to get the keyboard msr (not keyboard wedge) and display device working but I am not sure they are implemented in ofbiz. IBM does include sample code in their control center for both. I have zilch in programming skills so that probably wouldn't help. If anyone can give me some advice, I would give it a try though. |

I may have a look at IBM code, but I have none of them (kbd msr and line display) on hand.

I meaned, if you want me too look at this IBM code please send it (I suggest Nabble attachment or direct email to me)
