Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I am a Java developer experienced with printing, ESC/POS, scales... I'm starting with Odoo and I liked it a lot, but I miss the direct connection to the hardware like other POS applications. I intend to develop a proxy for Windows and other operating systems with easy configuration. I have the knowledge to do it, I just need to know the communication mechanism between Odoo and hardware proxy or PosBox. Anyone know where can I find documentation or someone who knows?
Thank you very much!
If you already have the solution in java you could use it by sending requests to your java servlets or service in order to reuse it. It's better than call it locally with the popen call from the multi-processing package. I have done already to use an specific xml sign encryption algorithm not implemented in python and available in java to avoid errors when using workers
It's better to reuse your tools or use others tools already developed in python for that, than get it done from scratch
Hi
Just asking, I am looking for a PosBox proxy myself. I had a look at takepos.com but I could not find any documentation about any proxy. Is there any link or repository available?
Yes, I have all developed. I only need the communication with Odoo. But for this I need to understand and documentation of how Odoo send data to Hardware Server Proxy.
Some help?
UPDATE: I released the work on takepos.com
Like Axel said , you' d better use what is already done
Odoo is sending data to proxy via controller ( http & json). You can get un insight on how it is done by reading source code of these odoo addons
For generic Hardware proxy
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/10.0/addons/hw_proxy/controllers/main.py
For ESCPOS proxy
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/10.0/addons/hw_escpos/controllers/main.py
