WAP with ASP - starting the WAP adventure

v20020317154649.zip

Summary This article is for the beginners and its goals is to provide some advice for you to avoid some general problems which can occur during the first phase of learning wap.

I will consider you have already installed a simulator. Let's say you have SDK 4.1 from OpenWave: http://developer.openwave.com/download/

Once you can access this UP. Simulator you have already made the first step. What's next? Don't forget: Start-Programs-UP.SDK 4.1-UP.Simulator Do you have it? Ok!

Having 2 tables in an Access database: Persons and Profession, let's see a kind of master detail structure implementing for WAP. Let's put some ASP code to work for us. Classic ADO connection, some links and parameter transmission between 2 pages will be all what we need. Assuming the MIME types are properly configured on your computer (it isn't the goal of this article) let's have a look at the code of persons.asp. Afterwards you can see profession.asp which is, of course a kind of detail page for the previous.

Testing the application

1.The OpenWave SDK includes a simulator that you can use to try out your WAP applications.
2. You must have installed IIS5.0/WIN2k
3. Create a virtual directory, for example, Mobile and put the persons.asp, profession.asp and persons.mdb in it.
4. Take the URL path (i.e. http://localhost/mobile/persons.asp) and try it out in UP.Simulator.

If you have any questions feel free to email me.
