You can use JME (Java Micro Edition) to develop a wireless app and sicne it is platform independent it will not matter what you develop on.

IBM has an IDE just for JME and it has a place where you can download it, this of course could be a limited edition or beta version of the product. I know the IDE runs in WIN 2000, because that is what I have it on.

You may want to use MVC so that your servlet could also direct output based on what the user is using to go to your site. You have much less real estate to deal with when you go wireless.

Will you be developing for phones or PDAs? Check out cell phone companies sites for software that will help you develop for thier products.

Good Luck!

Hi,

I already have an application created using MVC architecture - javabeans,servlet & jsp. My requirement is if i can make this application wireless enabled.

What minimal efforts i need to do to make it wireless enabled ?

I will appreciate if anybody can clear me the concept of implementing existing MVC application on wireless devices.

Thanks

You need to track that the user is coming from a wireless device. Based on this information couldn't your servlet then direct the output throught the proper file? I haven't tried this, just trying to help.Good Luck,J.Clancey

Hi!

It is possible to convert your jsp application to a wap one usint apprppriate taglibs that allow you to have a correspondance between your jsp files and your wml files. some information could be found at :

In fact don't forget to have an emulator to browe what your wap device could browse !!

i think that i did my utmost :))

I would assume you wouldn't run JSPs on a WAP device. First of you probably wouldn't want to because their is so much less space to display things. I believe the JDKs are also different and you have much less memeory to deal with.

Have you checked into the hosting of your WAP device? It uses a different protocol than a normal web site so some hosting companies may not do it.

Try desgining a simple app using an emulator so you get use to the differences.

Learn JME in 21 days is a good book to help get you started.

Good Luck,
