Hello,

I am trying to write an application that is accessible from a pc (browser)
as well as a WAP device. I have a working prototype for the PC (without
using jetspeed), that displays user data using HTML frames, since there are
multiple types of data to be displayed. Each frame is essentially a jsp
page. Clicking on one of the buttons takes the user to another jsp page
where the user can edit his/her data for that page and save the changes.
This page then refreshes. The jsps access EJBs to get/update user data from
a database.

I want to replicate this so that the user can have this functionality on a
WAP device. I'm curently testing with the Nokia WAP simulator and the
Openwave Simulator.

My current strategy is that I get xml data from the EJBs, and using XSLTs, I
can convert this data to either HTML or WML, depending on the device type. I
use Xalan to do this conversion. I can display one card at a time on a WAP
device and all the three frames at once on the PC browser.

THE PROBLEM: How can I get user input on a WAP device? To ellaborate - if a
user clicks the edit option on a WAP device, how do I redirect the user to a
page that will show a form for him to input the required data? After the
user selects the save option, how do I call my EJB that will save this
information to a database and display the new page on the WAP device?

Whew ... I hope all this information is at least a wee bit understandable.
:-) Hoping to get some ideas from my fellow developers.

Thanks,

Vipul.
