  1. Understand WML Chao-Hsien Chu, Ph.D. School of Information Sciences and Technology The Pennsylvania State University

  2. Possible Service Types by WAP Local Development Services Messaging Call Handling WAP Information Services Gamming Electronic Commerce Transport Database Access

  3. Physical Devices: Size / Display Memory / Cache Size Battery Data Entry Methods Contents: Different Standards Micro browser Scarcity of contents Block internet surfing. Character-based Info. Networks: Bandwidth limitations. Incomplete service coverage. Lack of an installed user base. High customer cost. Changing communications standards. Latency Connection reliability Security. Limitations of Wireless

  8. Application Layer Other Services And Applications Session Layer Transaction Layer Security Layer Transport Layer (WPD) Bearers SMS USSD CSD IS-136 CDMA CDPD PDC Etc. Wireless Application Protocol

  9. WAP Protocol Stack

  10. Server Configuration

  11. WML Structure • Deck - File • Card – Screen • Head: XML, DTD Declarations • Template: <template>, </template> • Root Element: <wml>, </wml> • Card: <card>, </card>

  12. WML Structure Process Instruction <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml12.dtd"> <wml> <template> … </template> <card> <p> … </p> </card> </wml> Document Type Declaration Root Element Template Cards

  21. Events • <onenterforward>: Invoke a card via a GO statement. • <onenterbackward>: Navigate to a card via the <prev> statement. • <onpick>: Select an option. • <ontimer>: Delay time for action. • These events are invoked via an <onevent> element, an <option> element, or as part of a <template> or <card> element.

  22. Input Attributes

  23. Input Mask

  24. Attributes of Do Element

  25. Hardware Key Types

  26. Action Types

  27. Example of Do Element <do type=“options” label=“titles” name=“titles”> <go href=“#titles”/> </do> <do type=“options” label=“Authors” name=“authors”> <go href=“#authors”/> </do> <do type=“options” label=“Books” name=“books”> <go href=“#booklist”/> </do>
