Christoffer I did exactly this about 10 years ago for another appliction and it is easy. Most of the handheld scanners are programmable so that the barcode scanned outputs CR/LF or not and such things.
It should be a simple matter to program the scanner to work with a screen. What I did was mostly for counting inventory, so the operator scanned a barcode label and then entered a quantity on the keyboard. I recall it being dead simple to implement on a system that was not designed for this kind of thing.

I was unaware of this :). But the thing is that I need a barcode scanner. So a handheld device, where you type in the stuff is not good enough. I need it to be fully automatic, this means scanning a purchase order (with a predefined barcode), and this is registered in OfBiz. Any suggestions? I am thinking about creating some SOAP services, and then making a standalone thin client. Is this right direction? B.R.
