Contract during term
Confidential Oct 2002 to Dec 2002
My responsibility there was to take a very large scale java/swing application developed on Windows 2000 and make it run on Mac OSX. I was able to get the entire system up and working in 5 weeks which was significantly ahead of the projected three months. I stayed on working on reported bugs and testing somewhat longer. Most of the changes involved differences in key equivalences and menus. There were all the file interaction issues for using a real file system as opposed to windows and managing/saving application preferences. I also came across a number of things that did not seem to work identically on mac and windows such as (in some cases) gui object minimum sizes. Fortunately there were no issues with threading, virtually every task in the ui was in a new thread. I completed the project and made it so that it would run not just on a mac but would run the same code on windows OR mac OR linux OR solaris. It detects at runtime what host machine it is on and uses the proper os access routines.

Chief Technical Officer

This application was originally written usingApple/JavaClient technology but has now been re-written in pure SWING client with JDBC. The application is a Client/Server internet based Retail Point Of Sale system. The object of this is to have Java Client applications connecting through a the internet to a server provided by confidential that would have the database and server side of the application. For a small business, the advantage is that you buy it as a service and can run the client on anything, We do the backups and handle all software updating and report generation and cd burning. It will give the small business owner a much easier and less costly startup process.

We are using JDBC with Butler JDBC Access libraries connecting to a Frontbase Database

The application is not just java client/server. It is also completely web accessible via a WebObjects/Enterprise Objects application. The same database that serves the web pages serves the java clients; however, where the WebObjects Application uses Enterprise Objects the java client applications use JDBC.

The system consists of the following:

Confidential - Point of sale application including the following functions: cash drawer, barcode, etc. store clerk application administration functions, Purchase orders, catalog, stock functions, vendors etc, store setup, store locations and warehouse setup, data picklist setup, employees setup. There is support for extremely tight reporting control for catalog and inventory which is the key selling point for this application.

StoreManager - This is a large WebObjects application directly integrated with our Jinga application's Frontbase database. It has parallel functionality for all Jinga functions for use over the internet instead of as a client/server Java application. Unfortunately we were not able to reuse most of our business logic code directly because Apple's support for java client with Enterprise Objects simply does not hold up under real-world stress. This application uses Enterprise Objects to the same Frontbase Database that jinga uses so it does at least avoid duplication of data. This is a very large application and the most complex parts are handling the intricate taxing setup and Inventory Management. it allows simple setup and management of complex taxing mechanisms. easy to use was hard to engineer.
