The Axeda Platform allows developers to extend the functionality of their app using a Groovy Custom Object, but that’s only part of the solution. The remaining piece is invoking this extra functionality and including the output where needed. That's where Scripto comes in.
Custom objects on the Axeda Platform use Groovy to consume external web services by building on several powerful tools. Groovy on the Platform gives the developer the freedom to spend time building the meaningful parts of the app, rather than on the mechanics of moving data.
Once data has been sent to the Axeda Platform, this app creates a display in an HTML page via a call to the Scripto web service.
(Part 2 of 2) In Part-1 of this tutorial, we created an app that transmits images and text from the handset to an HTML page via a call to the Scripto web service. Now we’ll use the text and images on the platform to create a custom object which will provide the data to the HTML front-end.
(Part 1 of 2) BUG Labs offers a modular hardware and software solution for connected product prototypes. This article discusses the BUG’s wifi capabilities and shows you how to create an app that transmits images and text from the handset to an HTML page via a call to the Scripto web service.
