Actually it kind of does feed back into OFBiz... The intention was to use the applet to talk to the scale, and then take the result and put it in a form on the HTML page, which would then get submitted to the web app server.

Walter: The Scale applet as it is in the code, basically shows the scale reading, to the user. it does not feed that information back into ofbiz. It has a default value built in if the scale is not connected. it needs a lot of work if you want to have it interactive with ofbiz. I changed it to an application, instead of an applet.

It looks like Andy developed this in2003 http://svn.ofbiz.org/viewcvs?rev=404&view=revI can't find any documents about it how to use/troubleshoot it. It seemsto use the "Toledo Protocol" which is great. But I am not clear if it was used other than as a POC or some customization for quickship only that is turned off normally.If anyone is using it today, can you point me to how you are using it.I'll write it up, I just need to know *something*.

So I google up some Java that *should* be in something to read a scale, and what to my wondering eyes did appear, but the top link pointed back to ShipmentScaleApplet.java :) I've looked a the code and it looks exactly like I want it to do. Actually better than I hoped. :)It looks like Andy Z wrote it originally. I don't remember seeing it documented anywhere. Anyone with stronger brain cells know where tolook for how it is used and perhaps called? I know it lives in applications/product/webapp/facility/shipment/ QuickShipOrder.ftl. Is there any other documentation? Thanks -- Walter
