|
A dynamically loaded Java class that acquires content from an external source, such as a Web site or a database, and converts the content into Wireless Edition XML. Pre-built adapters include the Web Integration adapter, SQL adapter, and Strip adapter.
A general, user interface-independent content format. Content in Adapter Result format requires conversion to Simple Result format before it can be converted to the final target format.
A link from a service to an external, device-compatible data source that does not require Wireless Edition processing.
The Wireless Edition component that manages the Wireless Edition repository and service requests.
The interface where mobile device users access their Wireless Edition services.
A transformer that converts content from Simple Result format into the target format.
Document Object Model. The interface that allows programs and scripts to access and transform processed XML documents.
Document Type Declaration. A file that defines the format elements for a type of XML document.
A person who accesses a Wireless Edition service from a client device.
The process of transforming content by replacing existing markup tags with tags that represent another format.
Handheld Device Markup Language. A reduced version of HTML designed to enable wireless pagers, cellular phones, and other handheld devices to access Web page content.
HyperText Markup Language. The document format that defines the page layout, fonts, and graphic elements, as well as the hypertext links to other documents on the Web.
JavaServer Pages. A technology based on Java servlets which separates the functions of Web page layout and content generation. JavaServer Pages technology enables the creation of server-generated Web pages incorporating dynamic content.
An object that describes either a physical device, such as a cellular phone, or an application, such as email. There is a default device transformer for each logical device.
The core implementation of a service. The master service object invokes a specific adapter, and identifies the transformer used to convert content for the target device.
A Web-based interface that end users access to select services and configure their device portal. Users access the Personalization Portal from their desktop computers.
A service tree that is owned by a specific end user.
The adapter used to create, modify, and delete user objects in the Wireless Edition repository.
A service tree that is owned by the Wireless Edition system, and can be accessed by any end-user.
An Oracle8i database which stores all Wireless Edition objects, such as users, groups, adapters, and services.
A query to initiate a desired Wireless Edition service. Requests are submitted on behalf of end-users to the Wireless Edition server.
The Wireless Edition component that processes requests for services. The request manager authenticates the user, submits the request to the Wireless Edition core, and retrieves the device type and any presentation settings. The request manager also forwards converted content from the transformer to the user.
An XML document representing a request for service.
A transformer that converts content from Adapter Result format into Simple Result format.
Remote Method Invocation. A standard for creating and calling remote objects. RMI allows Java components stored in a network to be run remotely.
The initial Wireless Edition repository, which includes pre-built objects such as transformers, adapters, and logical devices.
A core object used in a Wireless Edition server to represent a unit of information requested by, and delivered to, a Wireless Edition client. An end user typically sees a service as a menu item on a device or as a link on a Web page.
A pointer to a master service. When a service alias is placed in a service tree, the corresponding service becomes available to the owner or owners of the service tree.
The visual interface for creating and managing Portal-to-Go users, user groups, adapters, transformers, and services.
A tree data structure containing one or more services. Service trees make services available to end users.
A content format that contains abstract user interface elements such as text items, menus, forms, and tables.
The original format of content retrieved from an external data source by a Wireless Edition adapter. For example, the source format of Web page content is HTML.
An adapter that retrieves and adapts Web content dynamically.
The class used by the strip adapter to process markup tags in source content.
An adapter that retrieves and adapts content from any JDBC-enabled data source.
An XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) instance that implements content presentation for XML documents. Wireless Edition transformers can be either XSLT stylesheets or Java programs.
The format required to deliver data to a specific type of client device.
A minimal version of HTML implemented by a transformer in the starter Wireless Edition repository. Thin HTML does not include support for frames, JavaScript, or other advanced features.
A Wireless Edition object that converts content returned by Wireless Edition adapters. Result transformers convert Adapter Result documents into Simple Result documents. Device transformers convert Simple Result documents into the target format.
Tagged Text Mark-up Language. A lightweight version of HTML suitable for most PDAs.
An object that associates an end user with a device type.
A Wireless Edition object that represents a set of users that are grouped together based on common criteria such as interests, subscription level, or geographic location.
A markup language that enables the use of voice to interface with applications.
Wireless Application Protocol. A wireless standard from Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia for providing cellular phones with access to email and text-based Web pages. WAP uses Wireless Markup Language (WML).
An adapter that retrieves and adapts Web content using WIDL files to map the source content to Wireless Edition XML.
Web Interface Definition Language. A meta-data language that defines interfaces to Web-based data and services. WIDL enables automatic and structured Web access by compatible applications.
A file written in Web Interface Definition Language that associates input and output parameters with the source content that you want to make available in a Wireless Edition service.
A set of DTDs and XML document conventions used by Wireless Edition to define content and internal objects.
Wireless Markup Language. A markup language optimized for the delivery of content to wireless devices.
Extensible Markup Language. A flexible markup language that allows tags to be defined by the content developer. Tags for virtually any data item, such as product, sales representative, or amount due, can be created and used in specific applications, allowing Web pages to function like database records.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. A stylesheet format for XML documents.
