Advantage of WebXpress HHT architecture The application talks DIRECTLY to web-server over GPRS or Wi-Fi There is NO MIDDLEWARE at the warehouse- thus no server, no maintenance, no downtime The application uses Web-services over Wi-Fi or GPRS over HTTP, thus not requiring special firewall settings needed for an FTP or an SQL query. This also does away with docking, sync partnerships etc. The application retrieves data from web BUT then works offline. ALL validations of a given form are carried out within the device. The built in locking mechanism ensures that when HHT is using a particular transaction- say a GCN update- no other HHT can use the same. Also, web application too can not use it till the time HHT releases or completes the transaction.
