Architecture

This plugin was designed to work remotely, and integrate with iDempiere WebUI. It works this way: iDempiere makes a request to the host on which you want to read the balance, this access to the serial port, gets the weight and then send a response with the information to iDempiere.

Configuration

Installing Scale Connector Web Service

After installing Apache Tomcat on the host that will read the balance, copy the file scale_connector_ws.war in the folder webapps of apache, restart the server.

Installing Scale Connector TCP/IP Service

Unzip the file ScaleConnectorUI.zip, run java -jar ScaleConnectorUi.jar and click on Start button.
