Mandate

SIPTECH to develop an application SIPidms to support automated creation of P&I,
FCD and Signal schematics and store the contents into a Oracle / SQL database, also
handle changes to plant drawings due to plant modification that results in updation of


Report generators to show which drawings have been modified due to a modification
in floor and what has changed on every drawing
Provide off-line analysis comparing database and drawing to indicate data
deficiencies. Drawings name were used as off-page connectors
Application also provides facility to electronically sign-off the modifications and to
provide color printouts, electronically complete the modifications and thus finalizing
the plant modification process
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the new electronic signal flow drawings was
ensured to appear similar to that of the original paper format with legacy database to
use with
Crystal reports was used for preparing the Bill of materials for icons, wires, Signals
etc., during conversion of Signal Schematic drawings.
Reports for changed icons, wires and signals can be generated during plant
modification

Overview


OWL is developing a middleware platform for delivery of digital assets. OWL was
evaluating an engineering partner who could build out the ‘Human Interface Package’
(HIP) rapidly and economically. The HIP significantly extended the capabilities of the
traditional GUI widgets that are provided by the Java platform.
Mandate

To develop the first two packages of OWL’s Platform SDK dynamic front-end interface
framework to transcend the limitations of AWT and Swing They should be 100% Pure
Java, easy to program and implement using standard Java™ development techniques
and should enable development of advanced GUIs for true free form shapes,
transparencies and draggability.

Our World Live – Human Interface Package

Challenge


To develop a Human Interface Package (HIP) that significantly extended the
capabilities of the traditional GUI widgets that are provided by the Java platform, this
enhanced functionality is Environment independent. SIPTECH’s team had a deadline
of less than 3 months to fully develop, test and deploy this package.
Solution

SIPTECH delivered the OWL HIP project using a complete offshore project execution
approach within the specified time. The OWL UI elements extend the capabilities of
the AWT/Swing components to support free form shapes, dynamic transparency and
drag-ability. Surrounding APIs as well as component classes are provided to construct
user interfaces and their respective user interface elements that are fully customizable
in their looks and behavior. Additionally the OWL HIP components are flicker-free and
are fully compatible with AWT/Swing and can be used in conjunction to the
AWT/Swing components.


The first version was based on AWT and was developed in pure Java, compliant with
Personal Java 1.2 and JDK 1.1.8.
The second version was based on Swing and was compliant with J2SDK1.2. As a
part of project planning, a complete complexity analysis of the AWT and Swing
components was undertaken. This knowledge, was used to meet the specifications of
the OWL HIP.
Special focus was placed on the clarity and structure of the code and on conforming
to Sun’s Java code notation guidelines.
Testing was done on the line of SUN JDKs for Windows 98/2000/XP, the SUN
Personal Java implementation (beta) for Windows CE and the Insignia Jeode VM for
Windows CE.
Result

The result was the OWL HIP PJ and OWL HIP J2 that exceed the possibilities of AWT
and Swing to render consistent graphical user interfaces across multiple
environments.
