The most important elements in a successful WML application
are:
Ø A simple-to-navigate,
menu-driven interface.
Ø Designing for change: the
initial pilot generates Nokia 7110-optimized WML directly, but in
the next stage we will use XML and stylesheets to optimize access
to our application from any device, from mobile phone to
mainframe.
Ø Open standards
compliance
The technologies we plan to use to implement our first
generation products include Concise's nascent technology
program - looking at the future and being one step ahead:
Ø Scalable Java
backend - Servlets, EJBs
Ø Watertight security with
LDAP and SSL/TSL
Ø Flexible content with XML
and XSL
Ø WML to the limit -
delivery to WAP clients using optimal WML
Ø Industrial strength
database technology
We aim to advance our development effort both
through the partnerships we have developed with industry leaders,
and by remaining aware of and involved in new and emerging
technologies in the e/m-commerce arena. Partners currently
include:
Ø Sun Microsystems
Ø BEA
Ø Nokia
Ø Psion
BEA will be including the Nokia WAP gateway in future releases
of their application server offering, Weblogic.
After eight weeks of intensive WAP development, we remained
convinced of the importance of this technology and continue to look
forward to the next stage in its evolution.
