Hi Martin, Unfortunately, my example is very simple and only demonstrates a way to have 2 separate sets/path of JSPs (or other view types) and a mechanism to determine the requesting client via the "user-agent" value in the http request. I use the UserAgentUtils (http://user-agent-utils.java.net/) for all the logic to "decipher" the user-agent string into a platform (desktop, tablet, mobile, etc.). I then user that information to select the appropriate set of views by setting a viewType variable on the stack.
I don't try to address any of the view details (mobile, desktop, etc.) since that's a very large topic, but realized that my full desktop views are usually not appropriate for mobile devices,and that's the problem that I addressed with my example. We've started to address the mobile view topic some by using HTML5 & CSS3, as they seem to handle scaling to mobile screens fairly well. I hope that helps.
