The POS is built to work in such situation. But it's really built around
JavaPOS and I don't know if you can adapt it to this use
case. Because of course it needs a DB (hence a hard disk) and at the very least
256 MB of RAM (not sure 256 will even be sufficient)

I understand your apprehensions BJ, but the disconnected-mode is one
of the main requirements/features that my client wants to have built
in to his project so we are really looking towards having it worked
out. Any suggestion/clue/hint in this regard will really be helpful
for us.

I recommend you steer away from having disconnnected system.

Thanks for info. tips, Jacques.
I suppose the WebPOS of OFBIZ will have to run a ofbiz app-server and
all the mobile client will access it through Internet by any means,
right!! but here we have scenarios where the mobile-clients can in
disconnected mode (due to diff. reasons). How to tackle such
situations?
Please guide.

If you are looking for POS on such devices, then you should rather have a
look at WebPos than POS which is really designed for Point Of Sell
I guess you could use jQuery Mobile or of course plenty of other tools...

Thanks for the suggestion, Adrian.
Thats what we already have as a backup plan but then we won't able to
leverage the functionalities that ofbiz gives ootb including data
sync'ing. I know ofbiz is a server kind of thing but can't we have
some kind of smaller/reduced ver. of it which can run mobile devices?

You would be better off Keeping OFBiz on a server and create a mobile

portal in OFBiz. In other words, just have the device browse OFBiz.

Hi All,
We are quite new to ofbiz but feature wise it seem to have almost all
the functionality that we need. But there are few issues which we are
not sure on how to resolve.
Requirement here is to build a client application based on ofbiz
framework which is targeted to mobile devices and embedded devices. So
the first issue is framework's size itself, which quite huge for
mobile devices. Please suggest on how to reduce that to as small as
possible. If not, then at least can just the POS client part of it be
extracted and made run on mobile/embedded devices?
Secondly, since it has to on run mobile devices we need to compile it
using j2me, but that not not happening. Please suggest on how to do
that or if there is any other implementation of Java SDK that can
help?
Thanks in advance and looking forward your replies.
regards,
Tony Marcus
