About This Guide

Sun Java™ System Portal Server Mobile Access (formerly known as Sun™ ONE Portal Server, Mobile Access) software is an extension to Sun Java System Portal Server (formerly Sun™ ONE Portal Server) software that enables users to access portal services from mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDAs. Mobile Access ships with three mobile applications—Calendar, Address Book, and Mail—which developers can fully customize.

The mobile applications listed above are based on JavaServer™ Pages (JSP™) technology, and as such, make extensive use of custom tag libraries that implement their behavior. Each tag library is customizable through a corresponding set of APIs written in the Java™ programming language.

In addition, Mobile Access software contains support for voice accessibility; therefore, applications that respond directly to voice commands can be written.
