Chapter 3 — Developing and Using RFID Applications
The Intermec-IBM WRDI SuperFeature CD (P/N 235-178-
001) includes a set of plug-in components to IBM's WebSphere
Studio Device Developer (WSDD) version 5.7.1. These include
a sample WRDI application with the required driver bundles to
support the IF5, as well as documentation about the sample and
plug-in subsystems. For more information, contact your
Intermec sales representative.
If you ordered the Java J2SE option, the Java files are loaded at
boot time. No further configuration is necessary. For more
information, see the J2SE documentation.
Intermec recommends this general outline for developing your
RFID application:
1 Write and test your application on a development workstation
(your desktop PC). The application can access the IF5 via
TCP on port 2189.
2 After testing is complete, install the application on the IF5.
You can package your application into a Java .jar file, and
install the file and RFID Java libraries on the IF5 as
appropriate. Be sure to specify the class path to the libraries.
For help with executing Java applications, see
Applications" on page 68.
Note: Java applications must be transferred to the IF5 as
binaries, or errors will result.
To automatically run your application when the IF5 boots, see
"Running Applications at Boot Time" on page 70.
Intermec's RFID Resource Kit includes Java tools you can use to
develop RFID applications that enable control of the reader and
data management.
The resource kit is available as part of the Intermec Developer
Library (IDL). To learn more about the IDL, go to
