Web application possibility #5

Hi - wanted to check what is the feasiility of converting these stand alone apps to a single web application with these modules. Any specific reason you have done a desktop app in place?

point85 commented 5 years ago

Hello Raghu, The Designer and Monitor desktop applications are written in JavaFX due to the heavy use of graphics and charts and callbacks from OPC DA/UA. These applications would be difficult to do in Vaadin.

The Operator Web app is web-based since it is simple and intended for manual data entry. The JavaFX Operator app is similarly simple, and is intended for a manual user who will accept a direct database connection in lieu of managing a web server. On the roadmap is an Android and iOS Operator app.

Thank you. I was looking for JavaScript libraries that can do the job of charting. Do you think that will be a good alternative to consume the OpC UA/Da data ?

Hello Raghu, I am not that familiar with JavaScript frameworks, and what open source charting libraries might be available. I have chosen not to use frameworks like React, Angular or NodeJS due to the big effort in building and maintaining an application.
