Mark Wilson I am the creator of TopXML. I am available for international and local (Australia) contracts. I am a Solution Architect/Business Analyst. I have worked in IT in several countries (NZ, Australia, South Africa, UK) building and training teams for government and very large non-governmental organizations. I am ex-Microsoft Consulting Services. I wrote the first book on Microsoft XML published in 2000 called XML Programming with VB and ASP. Most recently I have been building tools for the SEO industry. Ask me for a 37 point SEO health-checkup for your website.
Ericsson has been a major supporter of the Wireless Application
Protocol formulation in recent years, and is eager for Internet
services to be rendered in WML as well as HTML.
Ericsson expects most WAP applications to be developed in the
same way as most HTML-rendered sites are today. Because of the
benefits to Ericsson of extensive WAP use, it has developed JAWAP.
JAWAP is targeted at the low-end WAP developer, but may be used on
almost any platform.
JAWAP, the Java Application Framework, is a Java library that's
freely available to developers inside and outside of Ericsson. The
complete source code is downloadable from the Ericsson Developers'
Zone at http://www.ericsson.se. The library facilitates the
creation of WAP services, in the form of Java servlets, in a very
quick and flexible manner. The very fact that Java, the JDK, and
the JSDK are the development environment is in itself very useful
to the amateur developer, since the simulation environment can be
an average PC or laptop. This can contribute to a reduced cost of
entry for emerging service development enterprises.
