Hi Adam,
Question about JavaFX :) which seems a forgotten think in "Java world" because majority of applications are web.
What are your thoughts of using JavaFX/OpenJFX for standalone application on an embedded device? We are developing software for devices for a new public transport system: a driver console (x86), a smart card check device with screen (arm), unattended ticketing machine (x86), ...
It has high interaction with hardware (card reader, credit card reader, qr reader, printer, gps, ...). It has a local database (using Hibernate) where all data is saved and is sent periodically to central system via REST (using Jax-RS)
I miss the producitivity that I used to with Java EE: CDI, JTA, JSF, ... but I discard the use of Java EE application with application loaded by a Browser because I didn't rely on Browser interaction and there is no multi-user access.
Do you recommend some framework like ControlsFX?
We are using Afterburner.fx, which allows us using CDI and remove some boilerplate code for loading resources. We also added FontawesomeFX project.
How do you think is the best way to communicate with that devices? I.E: force a reboot or getting trip info remotely.
Maybe having a Java EE application inside the device with Jax-RS endpoints which communicate to JavaFX app via RMI?
Central system --REST--> Java EE application in devices --RMI--> Java FX Application
Thanks for all your work, I've made first 4 online training and I don't miss any airhacks and podcast :)
Regards from Mallorca,
Juanma.
