Hi Raj, If you are going to use Adobe AIR, then you don't need to create the java pojos. Use the database engine that comes with Adobe Flex 3/AIR. > There is a POS application in adobe marketplace > http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1562518 This application was created using Adobe AIR, and it uses a standalone database. My POS is part of an ERP, and it uses Adobe Flex as opposed to AIR. You can also print from Flex, but it is a bit primitive and you have to select a printer everytime you call the print function. I don't really know how plex works, as I have not tried it. I also don't have much experience with Adobe AIR. I have worked on a document management system, but it did not involve any interfaces with hardware. My suggestion would be to contact the author of plex and ask him how he has done it. But, if what you want is a standalone POS then skip the Java part and develop everything using Adobe AIR. Fidel.
