OpenROSA compliance of JavaROSA/J2MEROSA.

[Jørn Klungsøyr]

Hi,

 

In openXdata we have an ongoing discussion on how to move forward in regards to enabling OpenROSA compliant mobile devices to connect to it.

 

We have had several rounds of work to make JavaROSA based clients (e.g. ODK-collect and j2meROSA) work with openXdata – both times ended up having to make a custom version of the clients due to mismatch of technicalities e.g. group of forms(studies) and user authentication.  In the ratified OpenROSA 1.0 standards these mismatches are handled/part of the spec.

 

It is not a sustainable approach to maintain custom versions of whichever JavaROSA based tool there is out there – looks like a better option is to adhere to the OpenROSA 1.0 standards.

 

Do any of you have any information about the status of OpenROSA 1.0 compliance in regards to JavaROSA and specifically J2MEROSA?

Or are there any other clients out there that implements the standard fully or partly?

 

Thank you for any inputs you may have! :)

 

Note! This message was also posted to ODK lists in a slight variation over the same text…..

 

Best regards,

Jørn Klungsøyr
