Tomcat WAP/WML

Greetings

This may be a very stupid question, but I am busy researching serving WML
content to WAP devices - from my existing Tomcat (5.0.28) server - from
existing web apps - as the content is shared - standard HTML/HTTP via JSP -
would like to provide a WAP/WML access point to the same site/content.

Has anyone had experience with this - and who would be able to point me in
the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Carl

Sure. All the big boys sell gateways. The Nokia gateway seems to be used 
  (or at least was) a fair bit within the operators themselves.
Here's a Nokia SDK which may be of use:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,,034-741,00.html

The major OSS gateway is kannel (http://www.kannel.org/)
The last time I looked there weren't any mature OSS gateways written in 
java. That could have changed though...

My colleagues directed me to the same site. I guess that should be the 
way to go.

Hi.

Great.  Thanks! Is there Gateway software available though?  If you wanted
to set your own gateway up?

You don't need a WAP gateway. The mobile operator's have them and they proxy
the browser request :) You just need to make sure the wml you vend is valid
and sent with the correct mime type and the operator's gateway will do the
rest (conversion to wmlc, a wbxml tokenized version of the markup).

Hi.

Thanks for the info - but I was actually wonderin about the whole WAP
gateway - generating the different presentation layers is no problem -
however the protocol handler?  Maybe I should go do more reading - but I
assume a WAP gateway is required in order to process the WAP stacck to HTTP
stack and send to the web server?

Thanks.

I've built a small WAP app running on tomcat a couple of months ago. A
couple of my collegues have done just what you sad, built a site that could
serve either HTML or WML, but using PHP.
I don't know what exactly you would like to know more about? Using the same
content for both presentation layers? That shouldn't be too
difficult: generate your docs as XML and build a couple of XSLT
adapters: one for HTML and one for WML.
