Re: [U2] Adding capabilities in the sort term
For point 2 we have been consuming many different webservices within unidata for many years - there are two main ways to do it, either entirely within u2 or partly within and partly outside. It depends on circumstances as to which is the most appropriate - it is in effect pretty easy either way. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Oaks, Harold Sent: 06 July 2011 19:35 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Adding capabilities in the sort term Has anyone done either of the following with a U2 system (we have Universe) and can give me some recommendations?

Re: [U2] Adding capabilities in the sort term
Symeon: Maybe you could outline the reasons why it would be advantageous each way, and give a small example for each. It'd be an excellent PickWiki addition. The reason I say this is because most of us would like to try out this stuff starting out with very simple examples.

Re: [U2] Adding capabilities in the sort term
I've worked with signature capture devices, although not in U2. I have worked with web services from within a UniData application. What type of web service are you looking to implement, and what platform are you running UniVerse on?

Re: [U2] Adding capabilities in the sort term
Harold: (1) Yes, I have written a signature capture interface for MV. The device connects to a client-side PC and I have an install/setup utility that handles everything there. This was originally intended for a POS running either AccuTerm or AnzioWin, where the clerk causes the character app to transparently send a sequence to activate the device. The resulting signature is displayed to the clerk for verification before acceptance. See info, reference for hardware, and a screenshot here: nospamNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/2009/09/signatures01.html The client for whom this was written also uses PrintWizard. We capture signatures from contractors at the POS and then display their sig on the invoices and other documentation which is printed at sale, faxed, or emailed - all seamlessly. (2) Yes, I call and receive web services all the time. The solution for any given site depends on the environment and skillset of the developers. Please email if you're interested in either of the above.
