  1. Presentation 11:SOAP on small devices

  2. Outline • Which small devices? • What are the limitations and what kind of support do they offer for SOAP • SDK’s available

  3. Which small devices? • Embedded computers • Windows CE • Java KVM’s • Others (native) • PDA’s • Pocket PC’s • Windows CE, eC++, eVB • .NET Compact Framework & Pocket PC API • Palm • Running J2ME/J2SE or native Palm (C++) • Mobile phones • J2ME CLCD MIDP • Native (Symbian C++, Personal Java) • Smartphone API (Orange SPV, Motorola)

  4. Problems with small computers • Limited memory and processing power • Limited storage facilities (no hard drive) • Limited bandwidth (for mobile phones using GSM/GPRS) • UMTS is in place however (30-50% coverage) and soon to have a break-through (and Edge, and distributed WLAN) • Not possible with full .NET Framework or J2SE JDK, big XML parser API’s – big footprints • SOAP and XML is bandwidth + processor demanding! • CONCLUSION: • SOAP CLIENT ONLY – NOT SERVER • Lightweight parser capabilities – not all features

  5. Pocket PC (Windows CE) • Pocket PC and Windows CE based operating systems does not have built in SOAP facilities • But it is possible with eMbedded Visual Studio • Using Microsofts SOAP implementation for Windows CE • http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k2/html/ppc_reservices.asp • Or using Simon Fells PocketSOAP COM component – which even Microsoft has welcomed • http://www.pocketsoap.com/pocketsoap/ • .NET Compact Framework • SOAP is integrated in the .NET framework. No need to use eMbedded Visual Studio

  6. SmartPhone API • As with the Windows CE – using Embedded Visual Studio 3.0 it is possible to consume Web services for the Smartphone platform • http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/othertools/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnsmtphn/html/sphonweb.asp • All links are available at the course website • BUT THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK • The .NET CF framework also works for this device

  7. Pocket TV Viewer - .NET CF

  8. J2ME • 2006: Apx. 70% of all new mobile phones support the Java 2 Mobile Edition SDK (Gartner Group) – today over 50% • No build-in support for SOAP (yet) • Does not run the JVM – but KVM (Kilo Virtual Machine) • Therefore you cannot use AXIS and others • At least two open source projects, one of them kSOAP, building on the Enhydra kXML is designed for Mobile Phones and PDA’s (like the Palm) • http://kxml.enhydra.org/ • kSOAP: http://ksoap.org (footprint: 42K) • WingFoot: http://www.wingfoot.com/ (footprint: 35K)

  9. Developing for J2ME • Take a look at http://www.javasoft.com/J2ME • CLCD, MIDP • May want to download JBuilder Enterprise Edition Trial Version from http://www.borland.com • Also download MobileSet • Important with Enterprise Edition because of JAD file • Comes complete with J2ME JDK, Screen designer, Emulator, as well as JAD deployment utillity

  10. JBuilder & MobileSet

  11. J2ME in action (JBuilder & MobileSet) 1 2 3
