Functionality
BlueSeer provides modules for the following generic set of business concepts :
BlueSeer ERP is written entirely in Java. The application is a non-web based
desktop application that relies heavily on the Java Swing widget
toolkit/library. There are currently two database engines available for
BlueSeer.
For single client deployment, The relational database SQLite is used for
it's deployment ease and server-less design. For multi-client
deployment scenarios, the open-source relational database MySQL is used as the
back-end database server. MySQL was chosen for it's popularity and excellent
performance
reviews.
BlueSeer is a menu-driven application. It's composition is a collection of Java Swing
JPanel widgets. Each business function, i.e. Order Entry, Item Master
Maintenance, etc is a stand-alone JPanel widget. Each JPanel widget is loaded
at runtime using Reflection to 'inject' the JPanel
into the JFrame on user
demand. JPanel class names are stored in the database and associated
with menu options which are further associated with user permissions. This
archtitecture increases the capability of customization and extension by
engaging BlueSeer as
a Desktop Application Framework. Applications independent of the core
software can be quickly deployed
given the menu/class management and
permissions functionality that's built into the BlueSeer framework.
