Synopsis

Get ready for the wireless Internet revolution with this complete guide to WAP servlets

The wireless Internet is expanding rapidly and could be as big or bigger than the wired Internet. The vehicle that will deliver the wireless Internet is the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) with the help of Java servlets. This book provides developers and programmers with the necessary information to prepare for this wireless revolution. It includes in–depth coverage on javax servlets, Wireless Mark–Up Language servlets, and configurations of development environments. Developers will understand the rationale for developing servlets for WAP browsers, how to develop servlets using the Java class, and a description of all the features available in WML. For additional insight, real–world code examples are integrated throughout the book as well.

CD–ROM includes JSDK, Phone.Com′s SDK, Nokia′s SDK, and other useful public domain software.

From the Back Cover

Get ready for the next wave Internet and learn to create Java servlets for handheld WAP browsers

To join the wireless Internet revolution, programmers will need to write Web applications for the #1 wireless standard, the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). Bringing together the two technologies essential for modern WAP development––servlets and WML (Wireless Markup Language)––this powerful book/CD package gives you a complete set of tools for creating Java servlets for WAP browsers.

Expert John Cook guides you through all the necessary steps and code examples, demonstrating in detail how Sun Microsystems Java Servlet Development Kit (JSDK) and WML can be used to develop dynamic Web content for a variety of handheld devices.

With an emphasis on features and techniques useful to the WAP servlet developer, Cook provides:
∗ An introduction to WAP software architecture
∗ Step–by–step WML, including examples, screenshots, and how to build a WML home page
∗ The most useful methods of JSDK classes/interfaces plus a real–world example of a WAP servlet
∗ An overview of WAP push technology, including the Push Access Protocol (PAP)
∗ How to acquire, install, and setup the various development environments and phone SDKs
∗ Appendices covering WML 1.2 and JSDK 2.1.1, and how to implement servlet engines on HTTP servers

The CD–ROM contains the JSDK, Phone.Com′s SDK, Nokia′s SDK, and other useful public domain software.
