WML Applications using JavaServer Pages (JSP)

The Look of WAP

This is how our first example looks in the UP.Simulator after entering the URL and the first input:

Next, clicking on the "OK" softkey, then clicking the "2" number key to pick option #2 ("all fields") gives the following sequence of events:

The same database can be accessed in a desktop browser. Here's a very pedestrian web page, showing the same events as the first two UP.Simulator pictures:

The web and WAP applications both use the same weather.jsp page, which resides in the same directory as a file called configure.jsp. All the Java code is the same, and it accesses the same database table. It is a plausible strategy to develop your application first for a web client (for ease of debugging) then re-target to WAP.
