This consists of two packages:

• lzDashBoard is a source code example of a web based view of OpenVista data across patients.  It was developed using OpenLaszlo (www.openlaszlo.org).  It mainly utilizes existing OpenVista RPCs that were written a while back (mostly as part of the Vista FOIA   release).  Please keep in mind that this example was developed to demonstrate use of the OVID API and not necessarily as a good example of OpenLaszlo.  There's a lot of room for improvement.  We'd welcome any help or suggestions.

lzDashBoard compiles down to a DashBoard.war file that can be deployed in a servlet container, such as tomcat or jetty.

• jetty-dist is a prepackaged ready-to-run deployment of the lzDashBoard project.  The DashBoard.war is already deployed to the webapps directory and once you install the OpenVista server side prerequisites, you should be able to simply start up jetty and connect via http://localhost:8080/DashBoard

Please review each project's README file.

• Refer to Installing OVID for information regarding installing the OVID onto OpenVista.
• Refer to Installing the Patient Dashboard Demonstration Application for information about this project.
• Refer to About OVID for information about OVID in general.

A couple of things to note: the error handling in the web app is not very good.  If something appears to not be working, watch the jetty error log or console to glean the most useful information about problems.

Note also that the sample app throws exceptions that might not indicative of a fatal problem.  Just because there is an exception in the log does not necessarily mean it caused a significant problem. You'll want to be sure to note exceptions that occur on the server when things are not working on the client to save yourself some time. Please don't hesitate to post questions on medsphere.org as we'll be monitoring it for opportunities to help. If anyone is interested in a tomcat deployment, let us know and we'll provide one.
