FX7500 Embedded Java Application Start/Stop


We have deployed a Java application to the FX7500 RFID reader and can manually execute the program through a ssh session, but we are looking into how the application will auto-start when the reader boots. It looks like the FX7500 SDK comes with some sample scripts to start and stop the application, but I don't see how those scripts get executed (other than through an ssh session). I see the "Applications" page in the FX7500 web interface is used for uploading C and C++ packages, and that provides start/stop/auto-start options for those types of applications.

Is there anyway to setup a Java application on the FX7500 RFID reader so the application can be started and stopped from the web interface and start automatically when the reader is powered on?

Thanks


Solution

  • The Zebra SDK for embedded FX7500 development includes the tools to create debian packages for Java applications. The end result is a .deb file that contains your application that can be installed on the reader and configured for auto-start.
