A hosted Google AppEngine application including a graphical form designer and simple upload/download handling for use with OpenXData mobile form clients. It was developed to demonstrate how to develop a graphical form designer using Apache Pivot.
The form designer that OpenXData is based on, PurcForms, was notoriously complicated, hard to use and buggy. To demonstrate how easy it would be to develop a functional alternative to the development group, I developed this prototype. It provided editing capabilities that surpassed the original form designer, without the defects, and a working endpoint to demonstrate that the designed forms actually worked with deployed mobile clients.
- A web browser, with the Java plugin enabled
- (Optional) An OXD mobile client (for mobile upload/download)
To use the application, direct your Java-enabled browser to:
