Oracle Application Server Wireless Administrator's Guide 10g (9.0.4) Part Number B10188-01 |

This chapter describes the administration for Mobile Studio. Sections include:
Mobile Studio is the online, hosted environment for developing, testing and deploying mobile applications for the Wireless platform. Mobile Studio also serves as a Web portal, supporting the wireless developer community in the enterprise and on the Internet.
Because Mobile Studio provides a Web-based interface for the configuration, testing and deployment of wireless applications, developers do not need to download or install anything on their workstations; they need only a Web browser and access to Mobile Studio. Once an application is registered with Mobile Studio, developers can test it using any mobile device or simulator (including voice) and instantly access real-time logs to troubleshoot any issues.
Application providers can easily brand Mobile Studio by customizing its look-and-feel as well as its content and integrate it with their existing Web site.
Mobile Studio can serve as both an interactive development tool and as a one-stop shop for up-to-date information and collateral on the Wireless server platform. Mobile Studio extends Wireless so that all Mobile Studio accounts are also Wireless accounts (and Wireless accounts are also Mobile Studio accounts).
You use the System Manager to configure Mobile Studio. To access the configuration page:
For more information on administering the Wireless site, see Section 3.6.
The Mobile Studio configuration screen includes the following parameters, which are described in Table 6-1:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
URL of Deploy Server |
The URL of the Wireless production instance. Applications created by developers in Mobile Studio (referred to as the development instance) are deployed to this URL. For example, enter http://myserver.mycompany.com:myport/studio. If you do not enter the URL in this field, then deployment is disabled. |
Default Site Name |
The name of the branding (that is, the look-and-feel) which is used as the default. This is pre-seeded with the value Default. Application providers can both brand Mobile Studio by customizing its appearance and content and integrate it with an existing Web site. To substitute a branding other than Default, enter the name of another branding in this field. For more information on branding, refer to the Oracle Application Server Wireless Developer's Guide. |
J2ME Webservices Supported? |
Select this option to enable the Web services feature of Mobile Studio. By default this option is not selected (that is, the flag is set to false). By selecting this option, Mobile Studio's interface displays an additional tab that includes functions that enable developers to register the Web services called from J2ME MIDlets. |
After you define Mobile Studio configuration parameters, click OK.
Access Mobile Studio main page at the following URL:
http://<studio_server>:<studio_port>/studio/admin
where <studio_server> and <studio_port> are the name of the host and port number running Mobile Studio instance. These are configured in the Oracle Installer.
Enter your Administrator login information as follows:
For any of the changes that an administrator makes through the administration pages to be visible to end-users, you must click the Reset button (Figure 6-2), which is located on the top right-hand side of the administration pages.
The Locales page of Mobile Studio (Figure 6-3) displays the enabled locales used for branding Mobile Studio. If you have made no changes to the locales, then only the default enabled locale (English) displays on this page.
This page enables you to find a locale (or locales) using a pattern. You can also add, edit, and delete locales.
To find a locale, enter the name or a pattern for the locale in the Name field, and then click the Find button. A list of the locales matching the name or pattern appears.
To add a locale, click the Add button. Mobile Studio adds a new row to the list of locales with empty Name and Description fields. To create this locale, you must enter values into these fields. For example, enter ru in the Name field and Russian in the Description field. Click Save to commit (store) the values.
You can edit a locale by modifying the name and description values. After you have changed the appropriate value (or values), click Save to commit the changes.
To delete a locale, select the locale and then click the Delete button. To commit the deletion, click the Save button. To undo the deletion, click the Undelete button. The Undelete button appears if you have just deleted any configuration parameters, but have not yet saved your changes.
.
Mobile Studio ships with default bundles for 28 different locales (listed in table Table 6-2).
.
You enable these locales after you have entered them as described in Section 6.4.2 and reset the system by clicking the Reset button. For example, to support users whose preferred locale is ru, you add ru and then the locale's description (for example: Russian), and then click the Reset button to enable the locale for users.
If you want to support a locale that is not among those listed in Table 6-2, or if you want to add a locale to your own branding, then you may have to create additional supporting resources, such as text translations. For more information, see the Oracle Application Server Wireless Developer's Guide.
The following is a description of the algorithm used by Mobile Studio to resolve which locale to use, given the list of preferred locales for the user, which can be obtained from the request:
If you require a locale that is not among the default locales, then you must do the following to ensure that Mobile Studio. These instructions illustrate how to add Hindi (hi) as a locale:

To add the file to the application, follow these steps:
The Samples Services page (Figure 6-4) of Mobile Studio enables you to manage the sample services (that is, the applications) that are available in Mobile studio. These services include Caltrain, HelloWorld, OracleCafe, and Time. From this page, you can add, edit, and delete services.
You use the Add function to add a service that has already been created and hosted to a location accessible to Mobile Studio.
To add a service, Click Add. The Edit Sample Service screen appears (Figure 6-5). Using this screen, you specify the name, description, the name of the service JSP and service URL of the new service. Table 6-3 lists the parameters in this screen.
Click Save to commit your entries and add the service.
You use the Edit button to change the values for a selected service. Clicking the Edit button invokes the Edit Sample Service page, where you can change the values for the Name, Description, Sample Source URL name, the Service URL, and the visibility status of the sample service. Click the Save button to store your changes.
To delete a sample service, first select the sample service from the list of services shown then click the Delete button.
