In the previous 3 posts, building towards the eProseed IoT Hackathon, I described how to setup your Raspberry Pi, and how to use the GrovePi sensors. The used example is a small weather-station that read temperature and humidity and shows the readings on a display. That is all very nice, however, the data remains local on the Raspberry Pi so there is nothing that we can do with this information from an 'enterprise' perspective. In this post I will explain how easy it is to send the data to whatever 'end point' by using a REST-JSON web-service. The Database Tables For this use case I decided I needed 2 tables. One to hold all my available sensors (yes, I know, I have only one) and one to store the measurements per sensor. The Webservice In order to store the data in the database tables I need to send it from the Raspberry Pi to the database. For that I use a simple REST/JSON webservice that has a POST method. I also implemented PUT, GET and DELETE methods, becaus...

During the closing keynote at the Oracle Fusion Middleware Forum XX in Budapest my former colleague Lucas Jellema and I delivered a live development demo. It was great fun to do. During this demo I developed an Oracle MAF frontend on top of Oracle SOA Suite 12c REST-JSON services. All in all it was a good session that was exactly delivered on-time with no errors. I think the demo gods where with us. In this post I describe some of the details regarding the Oracle MAF part of this demo. To be more specific, how the MAF application is able to work with the REST-JSON Services. In a later post I will go into the details of how to user interface was built. The details of the SOA suite 12c Backend are described by Lucas at the AMIS Technology blog in the following posts: Preparing  , Implementing part - 1   and Implementing part – 2 Before I start with the details I best describe the case first. We decided to create a tablet app that can be used by flight attendants...
