Mobile Access Software Features

Mobile Access software uses wireless communications networks to allow users to access your Sun Java™ System Portal Server site resources—including content, applications, and services—using a browser on any wireless device, such as a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant. It also provides a framework for voice access.

Mobile Access software is installed when Portal Server software is installed. Like Portal Server software, Mobile Access software uses the Sun Java™ System Identity Server administration console to manage mobile services and users, policy, and access control. Mobile Access administration can be delegated to other users or line-of-business administrators.

Mobile Access software:

• Supports mobile devices connected to a cellular network or to a wireless network through a LAN or a WAN using HTTP or HTTPS.

• Displays existing portal content on wireless mobile devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and smart phones.

• Integrates with existing mail, calendar and personal address book products from Sun™ Microsystems, Microsoft, and Lotus.

• Supports voice authentication, navigation, and creation of voice applications written with VoiceXML.

• Provides JavaServer Pages™ (JSP™) software templates for the Nokia 6310i phone.

• Provides dynamic personalization and customization for mobile devices.

• Supports customizing the look and feel of the user interface by modifying Portal Server software’s provider templates and provider JSP templates as well as the Mobile Access software’s application JSP specifications

• Supports writing custom authentication modules and custom content providers

• Incorporates Java™ Specification Request (JSR) 188 Composite Capability/Preference Profiles Processing (CC/PP) implementation. This facilitates development of device-independent web applications.

• Supports the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 2.0 specification for User Agent Profile (UAProf), and Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML).

• Supports delivery of content and applications through the Sun Java™ System Portal Server Secure Remote Access gateway.
