But how about returning the proper jsp page's name (wml or html generation) from action class.
First I should check which type of client is requesting the page (wap or browser) or I should use different urls for both html and wml. Which of these two mechanism would be better and where to handle or configure this information?
Like I mentioned I would like keep Web based (html) application part as untouchable as possible.
Can anyone give hints for that?
A small sample application would be great ... does anyone remeber seeing this kind of application?

The simplist way would be just to have WML copies of your JSP's
Something like this at the top of you jsp.. (i'll have to check but i think its correct. JSP's default to contentType="text/html")
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/wml" %>
If you want to minimize repetitive markup between html and wml versions then some cunning use of tiles and a WML layout could do the job... But this would really be up to you. Having stuff too rationalized can make applications harder to maintain.. I'd add new views but use the same actions.
The other option would be the parse the HTML version into a WML versions, personally I think that this is a little more elegant but would confuse maintainers more. . Youu could go for best of both worlds and do an XSL transformation at build time to generate the additional jsp's, but unless your site is huge this could take more time than this would warrant.
1 issue affecting WML from JSP.
The only problem with WML versions and JSP is that a few of the original nokia wap phones (7110) have trouble with white space at the top of WML pages. I worked for an agency where the contact for one of their clients had one of these phones and it was a pain in the arse. I ended up doing all my WML as servlets because of the control over white space. You can replicate this bug with the original version of the nokia wap kit, the emulator has the same issue.

Hello,
How or is is possible to add WAP/WML support to existing Struts application?

Are there any possibilities to configure Struts so, that WAP and Browser requests
will be handled in their own actions? If yes, how or is it wrong approach?
In my case there is no need/want to XML/XSLT generation so I can 'replicate' JSP pages depending on their content type (wml and html).
Can anyone give me some tips how to add WAP support to existing Web application?
Thanks, mike
