WML or HTML detection

[David Oxley]

From a servlet how can you detect what should be output from the type of
client that sent the request. i.e. If a WAP phone accesses a servlet then it
outputs WML or if a Web Browser accesses the same servlet then HTML is
output

 

Thanks.

Assuming HttpServletRequest request:

String clientBrowser = request.getHeader(User-Agent);
String clientReferer = request.getHeader(Referer);
String clientIP = request.getRemoteAddr();

Try looking at the Accept header. That should tell you if the browser
accepts HTML or WML, maybe. That with a combination of User-Agent checks
should be able to help you...

You should check the headers his browser sent you, you will be able to
understand which file he support, if he supports HTML then give it to him,
else is WML is supported the send the WML

if (request.getHeader(Accept).lastIndexOf (wml) != -1)

send WML
else
send HTML

String userAgent = request.getHeader(user-agent);

You can use this value to determine what the client device (or browser)
is, including the version number.



 Thanks.
