The latest version of the Statemachine DSL (Finite State-Machine) covers the synchronization of external (slave) browsers to a main (master) browser connected to an OS.bee server. The requirement was mainly inspired by the need of a customer display for the OS.bee POS application OS.pos. In this context it is required parts of the main screen's data which is shared on the slave browser working as a display.

Customer Display

The Statemachine DSL (Finite State-Machine) covers the synchronization of external (slave) browsers to a main (master) browser connected to an OS.bee server. The requirement was mainly inspired by the need of a customer display for the OS.bee application OS.pos. In this context it was required to display data for the customer on a secondary display.

Multiple displays can be connected to a master just by using a pattern on the address line of the slave-browser:

http://server_host-name/osbpdisplay/#client-hostname?display=DialogNameDisplay (as defined in Dialog DSL)&locale=language tag of locale


► example: http://dv999.compex.de:8081/osbpdisplay/#localhost?display=CashSlipDisplay&locale=de-DE

'client-hostname' can be either "localhost" or the Network machine name of the machine, where the link is launched. 'DisplayName' must be followed by the postfix Display as the class is generated like this to be seprarate from other dialogs. Language tags specify a language locale with its country component, like "de-DE", "de-AT", "en-US", "en-EN". The country component is necessary to decide the currency symbol and other country specific formats.


Important prerequisite

In order to use external displays you must add the bundle org.eclipse.osbp.display to your product's launch configuration and set auto-start to true.

Technical changes in DSL model

changes in dto

  • New dto "CustomerDisplayDto": 
    	dto CustomerDisplayDto {
		var double totalAmount 
		var boolean left 
		var String message 
		var boolean right 
		var BlobMapping image
		ref CashSlipDto slip
		var Filter positionfilter
		var long refreshRequest
		var Object scrollToBottom

	}
    • totalAmount : total amount of all cash position.
    • left & right : boolean value, define if this part will be shown on display.
    • image : any image which will be shown on th display
    • slip : reference the cash slip dto.

changes in UI

  • New UI: 
     display CustomerDisplay //
 {
	rootType CustomerDisplayDto
	datasource main:CustomerDisplayDto
	datasource localSlip:CashSlipDto

	datasource img:BlobConverter
	horizontalLayout(styles "os-padding os-cash-register os-cash-display") //
	{
		verticalLayout left //
		{
			horizontalLayout hl {
				image info align middle-left
				textarea(i18n noCaption readonly styles "os-span-h-triple os-no-underline") message align fill-fill
			}

			gridViewer(i18n noCaption) positions {
				scrollTo Bottom dto CashPositionDto {
					prop num style numberStyle format "#0" prop quantity style numberStyle format "#0.000" prop bundle.name style
					textStyle prop product.product_name style textStyle prop price style numberStyle format "#0.00" prop amount style
					numberStyle format "#0.00"
				}
				sort {
					prop num
				}
			}
			align fill-fill
			form(styles "os-cash-total") {
				decimalField(precision= 2 readonly) totalAmount
			}
			align top-right
			bind img.input <-- main.^image
			bind [this.hl.info].resource <-- img.output
			bind [this.hl.message].value <-- main.message
			bind [this.positions].containerFilter <-- main.positionfilter
			bind [this.positions].refresh <-- main.refreshRequest

			bind [this.totalAmount].value <-- main.totalAmount
		}
		align fill-fill
		horizontalLayout right {
			image info align middle-center
			textarea(i18n noCaption readonly styles "os-span-h-triple os-no-underline") message2 align fill-fill
			bind img.input <-- main.^image
			bind [this.info].resource <-- img.output
			bind [this.message2].value <-- main.message
		}
		bind [this.left].visible <-- main.left
		bind [this.right].visible <-- main.right
	}
	align fill-fill
}
    • In this display "customer", we define in the 2 parts(left part & right part), if they will be shown and what will be shown in UI.

changes in Functionlibrary

  • New lines in operation "initImages" & operation "conputeTotal" : 
    operation initImages(IStateMachine stateMachine, Object [] params) {
	. . .
stateMachine.set("CustomerDisplayImage", cashregister.store.company.companyImage)
stateMachine.set("CustomerDisplayPositionfilter", new com.vaadin.data.util.filter.Compare.Equal("slip.id","xxxx"))
. . .
}
    • In operation "initImages", the image of customerDisplay could be set.
    operation computeTotal(IStateMachine stateMachine) {
	. . .
	stateMachine.set("CustomerDisplayTotalAmount", amount);
	stateMachine.set("CustomerDisplayPositionfilter", new com.vaadin.data.util.filter.Compare.Equal("slip.id", slip.id))
	. . .
}
    • In operation "computeTotal", the total amount of CustomerDisplay could be calculated and set.

changes in Statemachine

Some new keywords are introduced for this new functionality: 

  •  display <DisplayName> using <DTOName>

  •  dto <DTOAlias>  type <DTOName> attach <DisplayName>

  •  displayText text "some text" @<DisplayName> to <DTOAttribute>

The references of a DTO that is attached to a display are always synchronized across all connected displays. Single fields must be synchronized by displayText.

► e.g.: 
  • display CustomerDisplay using CustomerDisplayDto

  • dto cashslip type CashSlipDto attach CustomerDisplay

  • displayText text "locked" @CustomerDisplay to message
► The referenced DTO must be the rootType of the Display definition in the ui model.

Now I will show the changes in statmachine:

  1. New events "dataProvider DataControl": 
    dataProvider DataControl { 
	. . .
dto cashslip type CashSlipDto attach CustomerDisplay
	dto customerDisplay type CustomerDisplayDto
	. . . 
}
  2. New events "peripheral PeripheralControl": 
    peripheral PeripheralControl {
	. . .
	display CustomerDisplay using CustomerDisplay 
	. . .
}
  3. Setting for customerDisplay, in state "IDLE": 
    trigger onStartUp
actions transition LOCKED{
	. . .
displayText false @CustomerDisplay to ^left
displayText true @CustomerDisplay to ^right
. . .
}
  4. Setting for customerDisplay, in state "LOCKED": 
    trigger onOk
actions transition ATTENTIVE{
	. . .
displayText true @CustomerDisplay to ^left
displayText false @CustomerDisplay to ^right
 . . .
}
