Web Widget Player

Web Widget Player is a browser-based web application that can run widgets even on systems that have no support for Java Standard Edition (Java SE). This includes:

  • Android OS
  • Apple iOS
  • Windows Phone OS
  • Any other operating systems that have Javascript-enabled browsers

Currently, the Web Widget Player is in BETA-testing stage. Please contact Iotellect if you experience some troubles with the player.

Web Widget Player doesn't support any interactive actions.  

To access widgets in a production environment, please use Widget Player desktop application.

To access the web widget player:

  • Open Web Control Center and select Web Widget Player from main menu, OR
  • Navigate your browser to https://server.address:8443/widget or http://server.address:8080/widget. Check your web application settings if you've problems accessing both pages.
  • Enter your Iotellect Server username and password
  • Enter full context path of your widget context (e.g. users.admin.widgets.my_widget) and widget's default context (only if your widget is relative)
  • Click on Log In. The widget will open in the browser window.

Also there is a possibility to avoid typing credentials and other parameters. A direct link to widget can be provided. When operator clicks this link the widget opens directly. The link should look like:

http[s]://server.name[:port]/widget/login?username=admin&password=admin&widget=users.admin.widgets.main[&context=users.admin.devices.hub]

Where http[s]://server.name[:port]/widget/login is a web widget player log in page address. Then parameters are enumerated:

  • username - name of the user to log in
  • password - user password
  • widget - path to widget context
  • context - path to default context (required for Relative widgets)

It is recommended to vastly restrict operator permissions to whom you provide direct links. Because credentials appeared at the URL are plain text and can be used to get access to the server.
