Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Date example

about this example

This example illustrates:

Connectivity between WebLogic Server and a mobile terminal through a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) gateway.
Generating Wireless Markup Language (WML) documents from within a JSP
Configuring WAP MIME types within WebLogic Server
Using Nokia WAP Server as a gateway between WebLogic Server and mobile clients

In this example, Date.jsp is accessed by the mobile client (the Nokia WAP simulation client) and displays the current date and time in the client display. Date.jsp is based upon the ShowDate.jsp page of the JSP examles. This page has been modified to generate a WML document instead of an HTML document. The Nokia WAP Server is used as a gateway and converts WML requests received from the client to HTTP Servlet requests that are forwarded to Date.jsp running on WebLogic Server. Date.jsp responds by sending a generated WML document.

You will need to install the following software to run this example:

Nokia WAP Server 1.0.1
Nokia WAP Toolkit 1.3 (Beta)
Java Runtime Environment version 1.2.2 (required by the Nokia WAP Server)
Java HotSpot Performance Engine 1.0.1 (required by the Nokia WAP Server)

how to use this example

Configure the server:

Verify that the following WAP MIME types are registered in your weblogic.properties file.

weblogic.httpd.mimeType.text/vnd.wap.wml=wml
weblogic.httpd.mimeType.application/vnd.wap.wmlc=wmlc
weblogic.httpd.mimeType.text/vnd.wap.wmlscript=wmls
weblogic.httpd.mimeType.application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc=wmlsc
weblogic.httpd.mimeType.image/vnd.wap.wbmp=wbmp

Enable JSP pages by un-commenting the following lines in your weblogic.properties file.
```
  weblogic.httpd.register.*.jsp=\
         weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet
  weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=\
         pageCheckSeconds=1,\
         compileCommand=/java/bin/javac.exe,\
         workingDir=/weblogic/myserver/classfiles,\
         verbose=true
```
Ensure that compileCommand points to a valid Java compiler that is compatible with your java runtime that you are running the server under (i.e. if you are running the server under Java2, the compileCommand should point to the Java2 compiler).
Copy Date.jsp from this directory into to your document root. The document root is the root directory for files that are publically available on your WebLogic Server. By default it is set to the /myserver/public_html directory in your WebLogic installation directory. For more details, see Setting up a document root.

Run the example:

Refer to the Nokia documentation for details on starting and administering the WAP server and for using the WAP Tookit.

Start the WebLogic Server.
Start the Nokia WAP Server. You must have the /bin directory of JRE 1.2.2 in your PATH to start the Nokia WAP Server.
Start and log into the Nokia WAP Server Manager (username="admin", password=""). Ensure that UDP bearer adapter has been started.
Start the Nokia WAP Toolkit.
From the Tookit's "Go" menu, select "Load location..."
In the Open Location dialog, enter:
```
http://hostname:7001/Date.jsp
```
where:

hostname
Host name of the WebLogic Server
port
Port where the WebLogic Server is listening for connections (weblogic.system.ListenPort).
