I need to create a J2ME client reads from a WAP site (the WAP site is powered by wall). So I want to something like a "frame" or "skeleton" that confines a wap site in a J2ME client. Is this possible? If yes, what is the easiest way to do it?
Have a look at LWUIT. I think you may be able to display HTML Here. Other than that i dont think its possible, except writing your own html/wap parser.

Hi I have an xpages app that I have built using the mobile extension library controls. The ap works fine if you go straight to the notes server but as soon as we use netscaler to access we are getting errors accessing the extention libarary files. We have tracked it down to not being able to access these “/xsp/.ibmxspres/dojoroot-1.6.1/dojo/dojo.js or whatever is in or around there.
For this post http://www.intec.co.uk/domino-8-5-3-greater-power-over-dojo-thanks-ibm-for-your-work/ it looks like these files use the new OSGi plugin functionality and are contained in a jar file on the server rather than as separate files on the domino server. Any idea how we can get the citrix gateway to see these files and use them?
Thanks
Mel
Seems like a Netscaler configuration problem to me. If the manuals don't help, ServerFault might be the better place to ask this question. As a wild guess: /. might be blocked by default since ../../../ is a popular path-traversal attack vector. Let us know how it goes
I am looking for an truely "web based" (website) FTP client, to upload my html/web stuff.
What I found sofar is http://www.net2ftp.com/.
The site is a good example of what I am looking for, but isn't as usefull as I thought.
So, does anybody know a better site?
There are many option available both on the server side (where the server does all the FTP traffic and shows it to the web browser and on the client side via Java Applet, ActiveX or Flash component)
Depending on what you need to do each option will have it's own advantages.
For example if you need to handle Folder Structures or multiple files then a client side Java Applet or ActiveX will be the best option.
If you only wish to handle a single file then the server side option will be better.
Start by searching for "ftp java applet" it will point you in the right direction.
I also compiled a Blog that tries to compare all your web based file transfer options

I have an application that will need to better support tablets in the future. I have seen some apps already created with UP1 and ExtLib Mobile Controls but I was wondering if anyone knows of specific functionality that simply is too challenging to even consider bringing to a mobile device?
For example, are there partial refresh issues on specific devices? Can managed beans still be used behind the scenes? Is dynamic content totally viable on mobile?
I'd be interested in hearing what big challenges/functions people had to give up when they mobilized their existing XPage apps.
There isn't really anything in XPages that would prevent building mobile web apps as with other web app dev models. In other words: Everything you can do with web apps on mobile you should be able to do with XPages.
XPages 8.5.3 UP1 comes with Dojo Mobile 1.6.1. However that does not prevent developers from using other frameworks like JQuery or anything else.
There are some advantages in general for native apps and hybrid apps. But personally I think most of the typically rather simple business apps can be built with mobile web apps. If you need local data/offline that might be different though.
You can use Xpages to do anything that is possible with mobile web developement. Dynamic content may not be the way to go for everything, but it will run just fine. In ITANA available for free on openntf.org, i created a simple replication engine to replicate notes tasks from the local device using sqlite to the domino server. This makes it run very fast and allows the app to run offline as well.
So i believe anything you want to try will work, you can make the Xpage output anything you want, from html, to xml, or json, to accomplish your tasks.
I know that XPages was totally incompatible with older Blackberry's. I assume that's not the case these days but back at OS 5.0 I think even buttons wouldn't work. So if you're doing anything with BB make sure it's modern and tested.
We're not really getting tablet support in ext. library until the next dojo rev I think. But there is a preview of tablet support somewhere that you can get. I've not looked yet but it was mentioned at Lotusphere. so if you want to hit tablets you might want to roll your own right now until that comes available.
Tablets are a little more challenging as the mobile controls are designed for the mobile phone size devices. That said with a little trial and error you can get a nice navigator split screen and still use the one page app mobile controls to streamline it, with records opening in their own page just like the phone version. Type ahead as I'm discovering should be handled differently if you are using the iPhone themes from oneui2.1
The oneui2.1 gives your navs and views nice styling. The forms may need a bit of custom styling.
Split your design into custom controls then you can use a server ate xpage for mobile devices and straight web. Or if you forgo the use of mobile single page controls you can always just have a seperate style sheet to accommodate the iPad. Really depends on the functionality needed. Good luck
My suggestion for anyone wanting to do tablet specific development using XPages is to move to Notes 9.0 and dojo 1.8 asap. Dojo 1.8 has an experimental control called ScreenSizeAware. This is miles ahead of anything else either the Extension Library Mobile controls or Dojo provides for Tablet development.
I want to send advertisements to the application users using Push notification but i don't know is it possible or not.Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
If you want to send advertisements to your users, I would suggest iAd, theres a nifty tool called iAd Producer.
Another way to deliver other content besides iAds would be to use a UIWebView and create your own web based content that you can present as a modal view, or however else you would like.
I'm investigating the possibility of re-using Google Apps/Docs in a local hybrid desktop/browser application.
I've been going through the Google documentation on manipulating docs, eg. the Spreadsheet. I can't seem to find any info on actually hosting the UI. Is this possible, or does it require some form of permission from Google?
You want to basically embed an browser control in your application pointed at the URL of a Google Apps doc? You could use the Google Document List API to retrieve the documents for a user, then use the URLs of those documents in your embedded browser control.
You don't need Google's permission to do that; you're writing a browser with some extra smarts built in.
What do you mean by "hosting the UI?" These apps are HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Are you thinking about embedding them in AIR or Titanium, or in some kind of web control in another app?
i briefly looked into doing this, and figured if i really wanted to i could just load the gdocs page content dynamically, and use javascript to strip away the superflous elements like header and footer. but instead i'll probably just use an OS alternate because they have come a long way and I want rich hooks.
