The session is based on a real-world case of creating a comprehensive WAP portal from scratch in just three months. The main emphasis of the session is on discussing the problems encountered, and providing a way to either solve or work around the problems. The featured WAP portal is based on a three-tier architecture, with a more intelligent presentation layer than is usually found in Web or WAP applications. A page designed, for example, for a Nokia phone could crash an Ericsson phone, and vice versa. Phone-dependent interpretation of WML tags.
Screen sizes differing both in pixels and aspect ratio.
The ability to show only content smaller than one kilobyte. The lack of WAP authentication support in some phone models. At the end of the session, two different cases using the same solution for slightly different purposes are presented. Sun Microsystems Inc. All Rights Reserved. Terms of Use .
